Reception on 6 meters
开云体育Hello All -
?
I am a new member of this group and fairly new to amateur radio.
?
My question involves settings I might check/change in the IC 7000 to
improve reception on the 52-54 MHz portion of the 6 meter band.? We are
installing about 30 IC 7000s in local emergency operations centers and in most
places we are using a triband 6/2/440 antenna either a Comet GP-15 or a Diamond
V2000A.??
?
I realize these are compromise antennas that are less than ideal on the 6
meter band, but we only need a couple of frequencies on 6 meters to do some
short range simplex (10-15 miles in most cases).? SWR on 6 is about 1.6:1
at 52.390 MHz. When testing a newly installed station the other day I was full
quieting into a 6 meter repeater about 17 miles away over hilly terrain.?
But I could not hear anyone talking back to me, not even static, nor could I
hear the repeater’s ID tone which the other station involved in the test could
hear clearly.? I checked the squelch and volume settings and they were
fine.? The reception on 2 and 440 is fine.???
?
Are there
settings I might check or internal filters that might help with 6 meter
reception?? Does this radio have any record of poor sensitivity or poor
reception on 6 meters?? Others believe the issue is related to the antenna,
yet the antenna seems to be functioning sufficiently well to reach a repeater 17
miles away over hilly terrain.?
?
I suspect
there is some sort of interference that is attenuating the received signal, yet
there is no background “noise” showing on the S meter.??
?
Any
suggestions or thoughts about what might be going on would be most
appreciated.? In the meantime we are going to find a couple of mobile units
that have 6 meters to do some further testing with.
Thanks, all

Re: display problem
Hello Tom, I had exactly the same problem that I solved yesterday. There is a small connector named J2231 on the main unit, next to the internal speaker connector. This connector carry the video signal to the display unit. I think you should check this connection by moving it slightly and see what happens on the display. The shielded wire on this connector is very brittle and the inner wire is made of a single copper wire, so very fragile if manipulated too much. I my case, because I unplugged and plugged the jack in the connector a lot of times (I had to fix another problem on my 7000) the inner copper wire was broken and these was a bad, intermittent connection that caused the problem. For example, if you use an antenna tuner plugged to the 4 poles flat connector, plugging and unpluging it can move the connector J2231 and cause the problem (the 4 wires of the 4 poles flat connector run just on the top of J2231 and they move when? you plug and unplug the external tuner’s connector). I my case, moving the external part of the tuner’s connector caused the “wawy” display. I hope this can help. Please let me know.

For me, "opportunistic setting" by software that simply sets the time as part of its initialisation routine would be sufficient for my needs.??? Speaking of timers, the one big omission in my book is that there is no PTT timeout timer, so if you're running software control and something hangs, the radio could get stuck in transmit.???

Re: [IC-7000] Re: IC7000 Internal Clock Problem
I think he was already setting to WWV. ?Losing a full minute in only two weeks is entirely unacceptable. ?We're not talking about microseconds here, we're talking minutes. ?Apparently, ICom didn't put too much effort into the clock circuits. ?That's a shame especially for a where time is used in the very process, such as logging.
I once had a Timex watch that must have been a fluke (not a Fluke, hi). ?I swear it was so accurate it was scary. ?It gained or lost (forget which) only about 2 seconds in a YEAR. ?Maybe ICom should have partnered with Timex! Unfortunately, never had another one like that!?

Re: IC7000 Internal Clock Problem
Scott Remington
May I suggest a simple solution? Since this is a HF RADIO, how about one tune in WWV or other location-dependent time reference and
synchronize the radio to THAT? If accuracy is what you want, you're only limited by your reflexes and the speed of light. If you need it to be more accurate, you're in the wrong business! 73, AA7SR |

Re: IC7000 Internal Clock Problem
Problems with the clock keeping time may be in part due to the clock battery getting weak. Yes, there is a battery that is only used for the RTC - clock chip. I had one IC-7000 with a battery that failed..To use the clock it had to be set every time you turned on the rig. I gave up on it..? A pain to change the battery.. not worth the bother. My solution was to forget about the clock. I use a cheap little clock, there are lots of them available. 73 - Ken - VE5KC ---In ic7000@..., <jeff.freedman@...> wrote: It would appear from the thread that more than the rig’s clock is off! ? de K7JF ? ______________________________________________________ ???????????????????????????????? jeff freedman? |? gig harbor, washington ???????????????

Wow.. a fellow ham just posted a message about a concern wit h his radio and these are his responses. I had to take a second look to see what group I was in. I was sure this was the IC 7000 reflector. Our hobby needs mentors and elmers not cynics and critics. Rick On 2013-11-07 12:24 PM, "Ian Hooper" &

Re: IC7000 Internal Clock Problem
开云体育The Manual
says the clock may lose a couple of minutes a month and does not suggest what
may be done about it – I readjust it when I think of it (Quick set screen) By
the way it has a Second clock which you can select – I have it set to Zulu time
