Re: Testing the driver board with a multimeter!
Not really. The best way is to put the radio into the alignment mode and see if you can adjust the driver idle current. You should be able to set it to 1 amp. It’s adjustment range is from zero to

Re: What should the voltage be ?
Yes. Follow the line. It goes direct to the 13.8 volt DC input. Icom radios have DC on the drains or collectors any time the radio is connected to an energized power supply.
Thank You

Should there be 13.9 volt on J102?

Re: What should the voltage be ?
6.82 volts on the gate is pretty high. It’s controlled by the driver bias setting in the service menu. It’s normally around 4 volts and you set it by monitoring the drain current on an external

Re: IC-7000 Shuts Down When Keyed
Well folks...I fixed the issue!!!? Eight wraps of the coax thru an FT240-43 ferrite toroid at the radio did the trick!!!? I'm stoked that it worked.??
Apparently the 7000 is very sensitive to RF

Re: IC-7000 Shuts Down When Keyed
I recently had this same issue. I checked all kinds of things but ultimately it was exactly what John Denison <mailto:kd5you@...?subject=Re:%20IC-7000%20Shuts%20Down%20When%20Keyed> wrote.

Re: IC-7000 Shuts Down When Keyed
Connect a dummy load. If the radio works fine then likley there's an issue with the antenna installation such as coax, connectors, etc.

Hi Mike,
Have you checked the fuses/fuse holders to make sure they have good contact?
