John V. Nelson ? KD8TZC
For everyday operation, I generally run 400 Hz. It provides good selectivity without sounding too harsh. In contests, or when operating a DXpedition with my 7000, I will often narrow it down to 200 Hz or so, to be able to pull out a single signal from the pileup. On other radios (e.g., my IC-7600) I will also engage the Audio Passband Filters (a second set of filters in the audio chain, beyond the regular filters in the IF) to really clean things up. If you are operating totally "in the clear," i.e., no nearby signals and good signal strength, you can open the filter up to 1 KHz or so and it will have a more "natural" sound, to most people's ears.

Hi the signals you hear are not morse or CW which is set in carrier on carrier off but in afsk cw is usually sent in FSK which is carrier on carrier off. AFSK uses a applied tone oscillator. so that is why it is received as a LSB or USB signal. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? regards Robert G6LLP

Re: icom 7000 book for dummies
Yes there is a book Ham Radio For Dummies. You can order it from Amazon. It is a very general and basic book but probably not a good book to learn about the basic features of your ICOM 7000. I found that the preamble to the chapters in the ARRL Handbook much more informative about what things do and how they operate. Of course the ICOM 7000 manual is a great source of information but assumes you know something about ?what things are. I think between the two you should be fine. For how to be a ham operator the ARRL books excel there too. Hope this helps. ---In ic7000@..., <jab3739@...> wrote: Hello to the group,

Check the filter bandwidth settings (both high and low) and also IF shift
in case they have been set to some unusual values. Could easily cause the
muffled sound you have.

Your CW filter is probably set for 500 hz, and it sounds like that when
the bandwidth changes. You want to hear something really funny and muffled,
engage the DSP; I cannot stand it, so listen to more noise. Just used to older
radios. If you can get used to DSP, much of the noise will be eliminated,
occasionally to the detriment of weak signals. Unless you have a KW and a
beam, weak signals are hardly worth the bother.

You need to have the AMBE board or an AMBE chip built into the
DV-RPTR board to use it to convert your IC-7000 into a D-STAR
radio.??? You also need a means to program callsigns into the board -
PC or similar.??? It is possible to have a preset callsign
configuration for PC-less operation.??? I believe they were also
working on a compact control unit, suitable for mobile use.

Curious if anyone has used a DVRPTR with a 7000. Any tips,

Yep, no issues.? Signal polarity is "normal" for Tx and Rx.? Use the
data port, make sure the radio is configured for 9600 bps and in FM
mode.? I used the second (10 kHz) IF filter.? Haven't had a chance
to confirm if this is the best filter for D-STAR, but it seems to
work.? Note that if switching between filter 1 (16 kHz) and the
others, you need to change the amount of drive from the DV-RPTR
board, because the radio configures itself for a different deviation
(wider) for filter 1.

Re: [IC-7000] RE: IC7000 and RTTY what do you do?
Tony,
I was wondering what software you use and interface. I can't get
the 7000 to tx when in USB modes for digi stuff
Ham Radio Deluxe, RMS Express, dl-fldigi (though used in Rx only for
balloon tracking), PC-ALE, Digipan, that I can recall.?
Interface is a G4ZLP with CAT (i.e. CI-V) support, and a separate
serial port for PTT (I don't use CAT PTT unless I need to).
I've also used a DV-RPTR D-STAR adapter into the data port, and
again, no issues with PTT.

It sounds that way because the filter is very

Sounds like you have filters on. Check you don't have nr noise blank filters on etc and check the filter width. When selecting cw the tones should dull down slightly but not as much as your saying

Re: [IC-7000] Is IC 7000 a good pactor radio ?
Hi Robert G6LLP ,
Maybe some of the problems come from the fact that KAM , and many
similar TNC made for Packet, are not really complaining with the
Pactor lev.1 protocol !!
I never had such troublem with SCS PtcII 1st version ( I have it
from 1993) and followers, but had many many with a KAM+ that was not
able to stay synchro with the SCS , because of the intrinsic
weakness that their protocol implementation discount gave them.
Apart from them, the implementation of soft with sound carts for the
Pactor protocols suffer from the timing issues of Windows. A well
known issue among soundcard soft developers.
If you like more doc on pactor prootocols, look for them in the SCS
Gmbh PTCII pages, and have a glance at the Dragon , the Level4
monster.

Hi Most of
these modes where used using a KAM which was a TNC with two
ports the move to using sound cards and software is only as good
as the software which is written.
?so many seem to be having issues it does make me think it must
be the software which really is the issue.
the simple TNC programs gave little problems unlike the mess i
see these days.

All,
I'm having trouble using the ic7000 in RTTY mode or not.
I use mix w with the rigexpert standard interface.
The trouble is this: When using the 7000 with mix w in USB mode it
will not transmit any power and when using the 7000 in RTTY mode
it will transmit but the ALC is VERY high. I have tried adjusting
the volume levels on the pc which has no effect with alc or power
when in usb or rtty mode.
I was wondering what do others do for transmitting RTTY with the
IC7000?
I just use audio tones in SSB mode for all my digital modes, rather
than getting the radio to do FSK.? Easier for me, since I use a wide
variety of digital modes.
