Re: Fixing the unrepairable IC7000
Sorry I wasn’t ignoring you. ?I’ve had a lot going on between the radio and home. ?I lost the springs for the display retention clip and was waiting for replacements to come in before I pulled

Re: Fixing the unrepairable IC7000
Are you referencing the 2 tant caps on the display board? ?Those were the first things replaced because they were replaced before at some point with much smaller capacitors.

Ps change the two tant caps in the head they smooth the 12V rail generated by the buk converted. As the6will fail. 73 Andrew ?Get BlueMail for Android ?

As far as we know radio was working fine up until my grandfather crashed his Saturn. ?We suspect the crash cause a voltage spike that caused the failure. ?Can’t figure out any other source.

Re: Fixing the unrepairable IC7000
Nice job, Craig. It sure helps having a microscope and rework station. As I passed on before, Techni-tool has traces and eyelets to repair boards. This is what I did for 35 years in the Navy and a

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Hi Tommy, I suspect the track overheated by someone tuning while at full power and running a hight SWR. I presume you do have full power control and can turn it down? KR Andrew Sent:

IC7000 no HF Transmit
Nice work Tommy! It’s so gratifying to fix this stuff even after all these years. My wife still asks why I don’t send the radio off for repair, I do know a guy close by that services these. I

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
GREAT NEWS!!! I found the problem and resolved it. The problem was an open circuit on one side of L305 output transformer. The open circuit was caused by a manufacturing flaw (quality control). I

Re: Fixing the unrepairable IC7000
So the change in components and not the schematics is very common. I had two Icom 706 MkII G's, one a low serial number and one a later version, the early one used Motorola finals on the PA board.

Re: Fixing the unrepairable IC7000
Craig, From what you observed, it does sound like they were replaced. I've run across this with stereo gear. It's usually recommended by experienced techs to replace with what was there if it was

Re: Fixing the unrepairable IC7000
Fair point Bob about the making a change from the manufacturer. The 2 capacitors i mentioned were a different brand than the others of the same rating and the solder joints didn’t look the same as

Re: Fixing the unrepairable IC7000
Every once in a while if you find a part that doesn't match the schematic, such as you found a 47uF where you expected a 100uF, doesn't always mean someone installed the wrong part. Sometimes the

Re: Fixing the unrepairable IC7000
Your story reinforces what is a very typical scenario during repairs of most anything.? Yes, sometimes thing fail in spectacular ways (lightning strike, water damage) that make a repair attempt
