7000 & DVRPTR?

 

Curious if anyone has used a DVRPTR with a 7000. Any tips, tricks, comments, complaints, etc.?


Thanks,

Dave S. W2PAX

Displayed Frequency does not change

 

Hi-

I have seen this before but having trouble now-

The VFO won't change frequency and I can't use the VFO

to adjust menu params. When I turn the VFO I only get the KHz

to move up and down by one. The frequency changes when controlling

from my RS-BA1 program. Tried a reset but nothing.

Thanks!
Re: ICOM 7000, Navigator Interface, WINMOR

 

?To all,


Well, I do feel a bit embarrassed.? Seems I overlooked the RTS checkbox on the RMS Express document from the files area of the Navigator Yahoo group.


Check the box and it worked just fine, successfully sent and received a message!


My apology for taking anyone's time due to my oversight!

Any ideas? or is someone using this configuration?

What's the problem..

CAT Control or Soundcard issues ?

?Du you have CAT- or soundcard problem ?

Im not familiar with your interface ( have a microkeyer) but it should work with the same setting...

Confirm you have set the right radio is in the winmor setting (70 for IC-7000)

And for the soundcard the right soundcard port....

I have found a way to block the annoying ads on the Yahoo site altogether, but it only works if you use Firefox. I recommend that everybody upgrades to Firefox anyways. There is an add on called Adblock Plus that can be installed onto Firefox and all the ads will not be downloaded to your computer. This is great, because all the adverts take up bandwidth.

I would also suggest that people at least read the following Yahoo Group to see how we are pursuing getting things changed; I personally would like to see an option for people to have a choice of interfaces, but a rollback of the new interface would be a nice start and having Yahoo do real beta testing on this would be good.

Hi Paul
you do realise the 6 meter output and receive is on the HF port of the radio not on the VHF/UHF port.
a common enough mistake to make.??????????????? Best regards robert G6LLP
I do find that fact annoying, because the V2000 is a batter antenna on 6m than the HF wire, at least for "local" repeaters.? No idea which is better for DX yet.? It would have been nice if there was some internal link that could have been used to select which port 6m i directed to, but we're stuck with it.? Maybe one day I'll get 2 diplexers - HF/6m to split 6m off from HF, then another to combine 6m with 2m and 70cm for the tri band antenna.

A friend of mines had rx problems, and then "discovered" he had the ATT inserted.
It does it unintentionally by doing a "Tuning" with the external ATU, and pushing unadvertitely also the ATT/Preamp button .
This reduces a lot the sensitivity, hi.

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.?

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.?

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??

Did you try to use a antenna tuner and push the tune button?

that is assuming you are using a antenna tuner for HF 6 meter.

They might have set the antenna up with a duplexer to use it with both antenna ports, but the duplexer may have been zapped if it wasn't for high power.

I have worked 50 miles on 6M, but I was using a 5 element beam, talking to a 5 ele beam, and SSB.? Almost no S reading.

Are you sure this was simplex, or were you on a repeater-freq. On certain sections of the particular bands, the radio automatically becomes a half-duplex radio: different rx & tx freqs.

When you key the mic, make certain the TX freq doesn't change from the receiver's.

The 7000 uses one antenna connector for VHF/UHF, and another for HF (thru 54 MHz).? Using a triband antenna, you must switch the triband antenna between the transceiver antenna connections when going from 6m to VHF/UHF.

One would assume so if he is able to get into a repeater 17 miles away.

There are lots of things locally that can cause your receiver to be deaf.? Many kinds of electrical interference.? You may not hear these sources of interference, but you could try listening on SSB and see how the band sounds.? Also try playing with the NB, etc.

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 -
