Re: [IC-7000] Re: LDG IT-100 Tuner for the IC-7000
My choice is the LDG AT-200 series; Mark 2 preferred. Higher voltage rated caps and coils and universal application!

Re: [IC-7000] LDG IT-100 Tuner for the IC-7000

When they work, the LDG tuners are great. I have two and both have failed on the IC7000. On one (base station) the antenna switch relay was a dead short to both antennas and on the second, some relay in the tuning tree is bad. LDG did send me a new relay for the antenna failure, it is clearly a better part. They seem particularly failure prone if the swr drifts around as on a boat (second failure was MM on a ship) or mobile installation and tuning cycles a lot. A friend also had his fail and got no joy from LDG re repairs.

IMO, if you run 100 watts, better get a much higher power rating tuner. Grant KZ1W On 12/11/2012 5:25 AM, Murry B wrote:

It has a 54 inch mast and I just screw on resonators for the frequency I want to work. I couldn't get my 80 meter resonator much under 2:1. It received and transmitted OK, but the 2:1 SWR was causing the protection circuits to lower the output power of the rig by about 20 Watts. I bought an IT-100 and put it in the trunk next to the radio. It fixed the low output power problem. Not only that, but I picked up a 102 inch CB whip that I screw on top of the 54 inch mast giving me a whip with a total length of 13 feet (3.9 Meters). With the tuner, the whip works from 20 through 10 meters and it gets out well. The only problem is that I can't drive with it in place. It's only for stationary use. 73 de Jim VE4CY |

On mine it was the Rubbish blade fuse holders.
Check the fuse holders after the power has dropped.If they are warm. That is the problem. I replaced them with 1 1/4" long tubular 30Amp fuses. end of problem. Good luck and seasons greetings. 73 Clive GW0PPO |

Smoke
Teddy Edwards
Hey All I am VP2ETE and have been running an Icom 7000 for just over 6
months. I have been using it for SSB only and on Deember 11th 2012 at about 607 UTC while in the heart of some DX ing I heard a pop and then observed smoke coming from the radio. I immediately shut the station down and waited a while before bringing it back up. I restarted the Icom 7000 and surely it is receiving OK but not transmitting. I have been running the radio on 90 watts and the temperature gauge never went into the red area. I have been keeping the room quite cool via AC and a fan. I have no amplifier in the shack and at the time of the incident been using an inverted Vee antenna cut specifically for 40 meters up about 35 feet. I would like some suggestions from the group as members are much more experience than I am as I have only been a ham for 24 months. Thanks all VP2ETE |

OK maybe I'm not understanding the ALC adjustment and the power meter correctly.The simplest way to think of ALC is as a limiter. The harder you drive the transmitter, the higher the ALC should read. If you increase the audio input from zero slowly, the power should go up with no ALC at all until it reaches a certain point. At that point, the ALC should go up and the power should stay the same. PSK should run very low power, half or less of your full power setting, with no ALC showing. Turn the power all the way up (100W), slowly increase the audio from the sound card to the transmitter input until you show 35-45 watts, or less. There should be no ALC at that point. THIS ALL ASSUMES YOU HAVE A PERFECT MATCH - little or no reflected power. This procedure goes for any normal SSB transmitter. Gary -- Web: NodeOp Page: Node 3055: |

I have the IC-7000 and the IT-100 tuner in my GoBox. I would recommend replacing the crimped Coax jumper that LDG supplies with their tuner. Mine fell apart. I replaced it with soldered connectors. Old School, but I still like to solder the cables! YMMV! '73 de JIM N2ZZ -----Original Message-----
