Re: Japan version needing frequency expansion on 2m/440
Thanks for your reply, Yeah I was afraid that would be the case.

Re: Japan version needing frequency expansion on 2m/440
Unfortunately almost all Japanese radios are set to conform to Japanese laws and are not modifiable to meet US US specifications. The Japanese "FCC" does not allow the radios modification and these

Japan version needing frequency expansion on 2m/440
Hello all! I recently purchased the Japan version of the IC-7000 for use in my my shack while my other USA version one will stay as a mobile. Of course there are some difference in frequencies between

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Forgive me if this has been mentioned before but as this is the 29th reply I haven't gone back and read everything. I always go first to where the effect of a fault is obvious without any ambiguity,

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Thanks Tommy. much appreciated. I thought there was only one version in circulation. Anyway sounds like you have some good advice from members here . It does sound like RF power is being lost

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Apply a DC via a resistor to JHFOR, see if the power folds back and current drops Then you can work on it and trace 73 Andrew ?Get BlueMail for Android ?

All well and good, but there must be an O/C some where in the TX path! Or a S/C cap 73 Andrew ?Get BlueMail for Android ?

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Hi Tommy again, Also looking at the block diagram, I can see the TX and RX share the LPF, which actually turns out to be Band Pass filters!! Fairly wide. How does the RF get to the filter board is it

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
The power control will not reduce power if the forward power measurement circuit is not receiving power. As it is after the bandpass filters and that is where the problem seems to be. Currently the

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Andrew Yes the current supply varies with usb modulation. That is why I put the mode to FM for the supply current test. The odd thing to me is that the supply current is substantially higher with the

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Hi, You need to find out if there is RF power being generated.? The current is a clue, so switch to USB key up you should draw a few amps bias current, the speak CQCQ ect, the current should peak in

Hi you need to see if there is RF before the LPF area, how is the RF board connected to filter board look there. As you changed bands check the LPF relays' actually energised. RX received may be a red
