Re: Rumor mills time!!! 7000/7100 replacement?
A radio similar to the IC-705, but that would use the old style tuner control so that we would not have to swap the accessories out.
Perhaps a tuner built into a remote box. I think that the main unit of the IC-7100 is not so bad, but the control panel is uninspired. If they had just used a little color and had a display output it would have been a great radio.
Replacing a pretty radio with a drab "Upgrade" makes on question the thinking that went into it.
Even upgrading the panel unit of the IC-7100 would be an improvement, but the electronic circuitry in the unit is questionable today as it is very complicated and has a bunch of obsolete parts. Today an SDR would probably be much cheaper and building on the IC705 would make a lot of sense. It would not be that hard to make a main unit with a 100 watt amp and antenna tuner built in (a tuner with a lot more range than 4 :1 would be nice. A simple switching arrangement for QRP for these who wanted to go that way as well.
Personally I find the waterfall and spectrum to be of little use, pretty, but not much value on a small screen. The output to a nice big monitor would be a big plus, however.

I'll keep what I have; too late in life to invest in something new.

Now Allan is going to kill me with this one ;P
Wondering if anyone heard anything about a new 100w mobile from ICOM?? Lets face it the 706/7000 formfactor was a lot better than the 7100, I would even argue that the 746based user interface was not the greatest...? yes the 7100 had a lot more features... but...
And the 7100 is way past its due date to be replaced...
So WHEN... OH! When...
My guess would be a 705/905 form factor, 100w, Bluetooth, Wifi, HF/VHF/UHF... 7300/705/905/9700/etc... user interface
what say you...

Re: Sound Card Modes through the Control Head
That might work. Which ZLP are you using and what software programs?
I’m mostly interested in WSJT and VARA HF for WinLink

Maybe you could do something similar?

Sound Card Modes through the Control Head
My IC-7000 has given me ten years of loyal service in my Pathfinder, mostly on SSB., The radio body and the LDG antenna tuner are mounted out of the way back in a storage area in the luggage area near the HF antenna mount, while the control head and speaker are mounted up front by the driver's seat.
Does anyone have ideas for getting on sound card modes such as FT8 or Winlink using a laptop physically connected to the IC-7000 control head only?? Getting temporary computer connections to the radio body itself would be impossible.? What small commercial interfaces might be used to connect a laptop temporarily to the control head when operating such digital modes is desired?
Thanks & 73

Re: Audio Levels Very Low - Normal?
Bonjour, Sur mon ic7000? dès années 2000 l'ALC a toujours été faible avec le micro HM-151. Je l'ai remplacé par un micro amplifié sm8 et sm20, gain réglé à 50%, ALC fonctionne bien. 73's F6FSC.?
Le mardi 2 ao?t 2022 à 23:22:55 UTC+2, Matt Brinks <mbrinkho@...> a écrit :
J'ai récemment acheté un IC-7000 d'occasion sans micro. J'en ai acheté un sans nom sur Amazon et il avait des niveaux audio très bas, je peux difficilement faire bouger l'ALC à moins que je ne laisse tomber des plosives dans le micro. Pensant que c'était juste un micro pour chien, j'ai acheté un véritable Icom HM-151 sur eBay et il semble avoir le même problème. Cela aide si je tourne le gain du micro jusqu'à 100% bien s?r, mais cela ne semble pas être la bonne fa?on d'utiliser cette plate-forme. Ma question est la suivante?: est-ce un comportement normal pour cette radio ou ai-je eu une plate-forme cassée?? Appréciez toutes les connaissances et les conseils que ce groupe peut fournir.

Re: Audio Levels Very Low - Normal?
Agreed.? Consider checking voltage at the mic plug (carefully). Should be +8 volts. See attachment. Russ

Re: Audio Levels Very Low - Normal?
Does it have low audio on FM and AM? Have you listened to it? How much power are you putting out on SSB?
ALC might not tell the whole story about audio.
Try a reset in case some settings have been buggered around.

I don't know what mike you are using, but Icom, especially the older ones, need a high output to function correctly.
Most are electret amplified and have + voltage on the mike lead to provide the operating voltage.
Yaesu and Kenwood have a different arrangement where the + voltage is not on the mike line and the power is coupled to the mike amplifier in another way.
You might want to try a full reset to see if that helps.
Have you tried both mike jacks? Rear and face panel?
