Re: [IC-7000] 7 inch TFT LCD monitor
Followed this thread for a while and then ordered the monitor. You folks are correct: NO usable instructions.
So, I studied the 13-pin DIN connections and decided to use pins 2 and 8: the IC-7000's gnd and switched +12volts, respectively. I did not connect the blue wire, but coiled and taped it.
I obtained the male DIN connector from an eBay source ($8.95, incl. postage) which I rec'd in two-days! In my Nissan pick-up I relocated the control-head (C-H) from the upper dashboard "dish", also where the ext. speaker is still located, and moved it to a place just under the heater/AC controls, where it is unaffected by the (standard-shift) gear-selector locations.
The video screen now occupies the space where the C-H was. It does NOT appear to distort the speaker audio. Also, and more important: the 'view' through the windshield is NOT obstructed. I used the mounting-plate (supplied) and fastened the plate to the "dish" w/RTV I had on hand.
At the radio end I inserted the DIN-connector and connected the (already made-up) 'pigtail' (1/8" mini-phone & RCA phono connector) between the "VIDEO OUT" (rear of radio) and the yellow "V1" female phono-connector.
Double-checked all connections, turned on the IC7000 and, by golly, everything worked great. Turn OFF the radio and the monitor screen goes 'dead'. 73s,
jd/K1TLV
PS: The video "V2" connector, if used w/the blue wire, is still an option if one desires the added use of the rear "back-up" camera operation.

Just got my TFT 7 inch monitor yesterday. The hook up looks like it should be easy enough. I'll have to get the aforementioned adapter. There are three loose wires.? Red, Black and Blue.? What is the Blue one for?? I did not get any instructions for installation with mine.

Recently someone posted a link for a 7 inch LCD display available at that is reasonably priced around $30.00 US.? Anyone here using this monitor with their IC7000? If so, how do you like it.? My intention is to purchase one of these for mobile use but wanted to see if there was any feedback on this monitor for use with the IC7000.? There are decent reviews for this monitor at the amazon site but they are not gender specific to being used for the IC7000.

Hello, all! I'm a total n00b to this group, having joined because my venerable and beloved IC7K has just developed a catastrophic failure which I cannot address. I hope that someone recognizes the symptoms and can diagnose a cure which doesn't involve sending it to Icom for expensive repair. :D
St Croix is a dusty island, especially on the East End. Periodically I take the covers off my radio, PS, and station computer to blow out the dust and dog hair. I have done this at least three times in the last year. This time, I removed the covers of the 7k, remembered I was out of canned air, replaced the covers, and it was all goofed up.
Here's a list of the symptoms:
The display is all boogered up, as you can see in the image linked below.
Nothing works,so far as I can tell; MON was on, so it should have at least given me my mic audio, but it doesn't.
PTT works.
Audio comes out of the headphones, but not the speaker.
N1MM can communicate with the rig and I can see the freq adjust in N1MM when I spin the VFO dial. I can click on cluster spots and presumably the rx freq changes, but I can hear no signals.
I tried a hard CPU reset per p.25 of the manual but it did nothing.
It had been working perfectly not an hour before.
Here's a picture of what greets me when I power up the rig:

Re: [IC-7000] e-mial via RMS Express

I am trying to work with RMS Express to send e-mail via my HAM radio. Has anyone got any experience with this? When sending e-mail, in what mode am I sending? How do I know what frequency to send? The info on this is not very good. Any suggestions would be helpful. I use my IC-7000 with RMS Express. If you use the WINMOR mode (WINMOR WL2K Session), you only need the same connections as you'd use for other digital modes with a PC and a soundcard. RMS Express supports CAT, works well with the IC-7000, and will automatically QSY to the frequency you select. For PTT, my interface has 2 serial ports internally and I use the RTS line of the second port for PTT, rather than CAT. You also need the VOAProp (the ionospheric propagation prediction software from the Voice of America) software installed, as RMS Express uses that for HF path predictions (to calculate the best RMS to connect to). If you use an AH-4, a tip is to configure the radio to auto-tune on PTT. You need to configure your callsign into RMS Express. Can't remember if there's any other settings that need to be tweaked, it's been a couple of years since I did my initial installation. To get started, compose a Winlink message. To keep things simple, send it to your Internet email address, and when done post it to the Outbox. Click on the drop down list next to "Open Session" and select WINMOR WL2K. Click on Open Session. This will open a couple of windows. Here you need to configure your radio and soundcard parameters and set your transmit levels. I use no more than 50% rated transmit power. When all is setup, click on Channel Selection and select a station near the top of the list - make sure it's on a band your antenna system can use! (the list is ordered with the most likely paths at the top). If you have setup CAT, the radio will now be on the correct frequency, otherwise you will have to manually tune to the DIAL frequency on USB. Click on the Start menu link to start your session. If all goes well, your message will be sent and you'll receive it on the Internet (and you've created your Winlink mailbox). -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL

Ham Radio Deluxe - Tune Macro
I'm using v5.1 of Ham Radio Deluxe with my IC-7000.?? I have an external auto tuner and have been trying to add a macro to HRD to have it provide a 30w AM carrier for 3-5 seconds, then go back to USB. ? I can't seem to get it to go back to USB.? It goes to Am, reduces output to 30, goes into XT mode then hangs there.? I know this can be done because under the Tools tab there is a "Tune Up" tab.? and it works great.? The only problem is that the Tune Up tab is too hard to get to.? If it could be moved or copied to a more convenient location, that would have been great.
Can anyone help me out with this one?? ?

Understand
first that I
have the US
model, and the
UK one is
different.
Plus, I think
that offsets
are different
in the
countries.
That said,
there is a
page in the US
manual which
covers "odd
splits", which
this looks
like. Maybe. I
found
Scunthorpe,
which looks to
have an output
of 433.125 and
receives on
434.725 with a
CTCSS tone of
88.5hz. This
means you
should program
the 7K with
434.725 for
the repeater
wiith a normal
(UK?) offset
and a tone of
88.5. Is 1.6 K
the normal
split in the
UK? If so, a
UK 7K should
automagically
tune the
split, and you
will only need
to set the
tone. Here in
the US, the
normal split
on 70CM is 5
Mhz!
Otherwise, you
will need to
find the page
in the manual
that deals
with repeater
splits.
Remember that
you program
your 7K with
the repeater output,
and when you
transmit, it
should show
transmitting
on the
repeater's input
frequency. The
transmit tone
does not show.
For instance,
a repeater
here in my
area, the Mt.
Mitchell, is
at 442.225. I
program that
in my 7K, and
it
automatically
sets the
split, which
here is 5 meg,
so I am
transmitting
on 447.225
when I key,
which the
display
reflects. On
the display,
it says "dup+".
Yours should
say "dup-".
Keep
trying, and
with all due
respect, RTFM
is absolutely
required for
the 7K. See:
73 de
KC4BO.

programming
?
Understand
first that I
have the US
model, and the
UK one is
different.
Plus, I think
that offsets
are different
in the
countries.
That said,
there is a
page in the US
manual which
covers "odd
splits", which
this looks
like. Maybe. I
found
Scunthorpe,
which looks to
have an output
of 433.125 and
receives on
434.725 with a
CTCSS tone of
88.5hz. This
means you
should program
the 7K with
434.725 for
the repeater
wiith a normal
(UK?) offset
and a tone of
88.5. Is 1.6 K
the normal
split in the
UK? If so, a
UK 7K should
automagically
tune the
split, and you
will only need
to set the
tone. Here in
the US, the
normal split
on 70CM is 5
Mhz!
Otherwise, you
will need to
find the page
in the manual
that deals
with repeater
splits.
Remember that
you program
your 7K with
the repeater output,
and when you
transmit, it
should show
transmitting
on the
repeater's input
frequency. The
transmit tone
does not show.
For instance,
a repeater
here in my
area, the Mt.
Mitchell, is
at 442.225. I
program that
in my 7K, and
it
automatically
sets the
split, which
here is 5 meg,
so I am
transmitting
on 447.225
when I key,
which the
display
reflects. On
the display,
it says "dup+".
Yours should
say "dup-".
Keep
trying, and
with all due
respect, RTFM
is absolutely
required for
the 7K. See:
73 de
KC4BO.

Re: [IC-7000] 70cm programming
Joking really. I have been at it 34 years after all and could be an Elmer myself. Getting back active and involved after a 15 year hiatus. Hope I can Elmer some young hams. Also why I joined this group.

what a very well thought out
description.
my question is why does this

his new radio up for him and
explained this to him first
hand or he could still have

Re: [IC-7000] Totally FUBAR
Looks like you have gone into TV mode. Try pushing the top left volume knob in, for more than one second, to get out of TV mode. This is the knob that you use to adjust the AF (volume control)

Hello, all! I'm a total n00b to this group, having joined because my venerable and beloved IC7K has just developed a catastrophic failure which I cannot address. I hope that someone recognizes the symptoms and can diagnose a cure which doesn't involve sending it to Icom for expensive repair. :D
St Croix is a dusty island, especially on the East End. Periodically I take the covers off my radio, PS, and station computer to blow out the dust and dog hair. I have done this at least three times in the last year. This time, I removed the covers of the 7k, remembered I was out of canned air, replaced the covers, and it was all goofed up.
Here's a list of the symptoms:
The display is all boogered up, as you can see in the image linked below.
Nothing works,so far as I can tell; MON was on, so it should have at least given me my mic audio, but it doesn't.
PTT works.
Audio comes out of the headphones, but not the speaker.
N1MM can communicate with the rig and I can see the freq adjust in N1MM when I spin the VFO dial. I can click on cluster spots and presumably the rx freq changes, but I can hear no signals.
I tried a hard CPU reset per p.25 of the manual but it did nothing.
It had been working perfectly not an hour before.
Here's a picture of what greets me when I power up the rig:
Thanks for your help, 7000 Hive Mind!

Perhaps the internal speaker connector isn't seated correctly at the back of the Main board, causing the internal speaker to not work.
The display video, no mic & speaker audio could be dirty contacts where the display mates with the radio. ?It doesn't take much dirt or hair to create a bad connection. ?Try some spray contact cleaner such as DeOxit 5 or DeOxit Gold (often available at music stores or Radio Shack).
Also, there is a white flex cable on the Main board (front & center) from the display connector that might need to be reseated. ?
Be careful that you have some static protection anytime you take the cover off, especially when the humidity is below 40%. ?Use a grounded ?ESD wrist strap (or keep a hand on something that is grounded), don't work on plastic surfaces, use canned air that is ESD safe.
