Hi Ya'akov,
Given that the IC-7000 will be the same size as the IC-706MkIIG (except 20mm
shorter), it will not have an internal ATU. The AT-180 and AH-4 will still
be compatible with it. Icom has always maintained an excellent level of
accessory compatibility across its HF product line.
If you wish to erect random wire antennas, you will need the AH4 (or an
SGC-23X series coupler). The AT-180 was expressly designed to match loads
within a 3:1 VSWR excursion to 50 ohms resistive.
The thread relating to wives etc. has just been closed.

Hi Keith,
Your wish is my command, Effendi. I was just looking for an excuse.
This thread is now closed.
I would like to appeal to all group members not to exploit the relative
paucity of substantive IC-7000 information by starting off-topic and
irrelevant threads. Rob and I cannot sit on top of this thing 24/7; we also
have lives to lead.

They sell a lot of 706's every week so it is not a stocking issue as they will run through on hand stock several times before June

Look at it this way...HRO is trying to sell thier current stock of
706Gs. They're not going to admit to something that might cost them a
sale.
I've gotten the same response from the guys at my local store, only
to stop by a week later and see the asked about product sitting on

Re: Howie on the Hill.......with a crane..........OFF TOPIC
Chris
Like Joanne said, you need to learn to appreciate "Gallows humor"... when
the spring the trap door, all you can do is enjoy the view when you are
swinging in the air... in the case of the landslides, the reality is so
unbelievable...all one is left with is a smile...
There are now 2 huge augers (60 -80') + the 150' crane across the street...
My tiny 85' tower is totally dwarfed....even though it is sitting 25' above
street level on my side of the street...
Talk about feeling inadequate....
I was over talking to the crane operator this AM.. and suggested we test it
out as an antenna platform... he told me he could extend it to 200'... Boy
do I ever want one of those...
On a positive note they seem to be sinking several 2' metal shafts into the
ground to support the foundations.... should improve my ground plane and
save me the cost of putting in more ground rods...

Chris, it is called "Graveyard Humor". The jokes police officers,
ambulance drivers, firemen, soldiers, animal doctors, brain surgeons,
or any other "respected" segment of society tell each other privately
would drive most others right up a tree with disgust. A mortician's
response to a colleague's "Give me a hand" request might be quite odd
in the right circumstances.
Such humor is about all that keeps them relatively sane and functioning.
And it disgusts others who happen to catch it from outside. "Ya gotta
be there to appreciate it" or variants on the phrase really do make a
lot of sense.
The folks in la Jolla, and a lot of other places out here, are faced
with utterly overwhelming situations. So trying to make light of it
is about all they can do to make "keeping on" a tenable prospect. I
know that without my sense of humor about such chronic problems as I
have I'd not be able to keep going. (And I'm pleased to report my off
kilter humor has helped some similarly afflicted people in their quest
to keep going in the face of what seems like overwhelming odds. The
humor puts some perspective on the problems.)
And hoooooboy would I like one of those 150' cranes myself. "Store" it
fully extended to make it less accessible to thieves never mind all those
spidery looking things on top that just look like beams.... Yeah, that's
the ticket.
