Re: LO off QRG

 

Steve, I'm using a cheap BNC to "Mini Test Clip" 50 ohm coax cable.? Similar to this:?

You're right in that I probably was getting reflections -- that would make sense -- especially with these cheap cables.??I found the P4 female PCB connector parts and will just make a short coax lead that I can plug directly into the TF930.?I decided to calibrate from the other direction.? With my 83% REF ADJUST value I transmitted on 446.0 Mhz and was only a few hertz off.? I am up to 88% now and when I transmit, it's exactly on 446.000000 Mhz.? That should suffice for now.? :)

Cheers,

Re: LO off QRG

 

Nick,
At 124 MHz it is important to keep a relatively constant impedance path from P4 to the counter.? My 8924C has 50 ohm inputs and I used a 50 ohm 500 MHz rated scope probe, with a short barrel connector to connect the center pins of P4 and the probe.? I had a spring adapter that slipped over the ground barrel of the scope probe and over the outer shell of P4.? I suspect that any non-coaxial adapters might introduce enough reflections in the signal path to cause the intermittent readings you saw.

Steve, W3AHL
Re: LO off QRG

 

Hi Steve,

I'm using a Aim-TTI TF930 to measure P4.? I just received the counter on Tuesday and was wanting to verify my REF OSC on my 7000.? In recent weeks, I noticed it was way off on USB/LSB transmissions in 2m/70cm band.? I decided to transmit @ 5% power on 435.000 and used my Airspy R2 to calibrate against that.? The R2 is highly calibrated and it seemed to work well.? After the adjustment, the USB/LSB was just about perfect.? I don't recall my initial calibration value but it was quite a change as I recall.? I ended up at 83 versus I think somewhere in the 40s.

Tonight, I discovered that measuring P4 is a bit tricky.? I was having an issue just getting a steady reading on the TF930.? I realized the connector is not easy to measure.? I used a BNC to plunger-clips on the tip and the shield of P4.??

At times, the reading seemed stable but only if I was super steady with the connections.? I thought I was locked on to 124.032 but my REF OSC value was (oddly) up to DB.? After reassembling, I noticed I couldn't transmit.? The only thing that changed was the REF OSC value so I reverted that change.? Transmit works perfectly and the frequency seems stable.??

What's the best way to measure that P4 connector?? I'm thinking it might need a test-jig with a female connector on a breadboard.?

Thanks!

Just be aware..going much larger than 7" and the resolution will be unacceptable. I connected to a standard 15" and it looks pretty blocky.

Re: connecting external monitor

 

This thread has got me thinking.
I have a 5" display currently?but I am going to try a composite/usb capture device?
to route the ic-7000 display?to a window on the PC and see how that looks.??

May be able to run the display in one window and RS-BA1 or WFView in another.??
Not a? modern waterfall display, but at least as colorful!??

Amazon trucks are lining up outside my?door.

Re: connecting external monitor

 

Connecting to an existing in car monitor is probably a hands on research project.
Really to broad of a question to answer here.

You would need for the monitor to have a composite video signal jack available that is?
compatible with your IC-7000 composite output.
NTSC for US/Canada, PAL for Europe for examples,

If it is a factory installed backup camera, you're probably out of luck.
If it is an aftermarket system, there could be an option for a secondary input.??
Check your manual for the device, or dig into the dash are options.
Third option is to consult an shop that does entertainment systems for automobiles.

Just know there is two different video standards used in the 7k NTSC for the US version and PAL in UK/OZ version?

As others have already mentioned, a TV with a composite input is the simplest solution, otherwise you'll need a converter from Composite to whatever your monitor has for inputs.

For example, Composite to VGA...

Subject: [ic7000] connecting external monitor

Hi all,
I'm hoping to connect a small external monitor (6" or 7").
It looks like the 3.5mm female plug on the back of the 7000 would feed to a typical yellow RCA plug.
I saw this box which looks like it would do the trick, since I did not find an adapter online.


If you're using a different type of hookup please email me.

On a separate note, it appears the shield for the 60m diode mod to open up the band is securely fastened to the board.
Does anyone know if there is a trick or workaround to removing it to get to the SMT diode to remove it?
At this point I'm afraid to proceed for fear of cracking the traces if the board bends too far.

Re: connecting external monitor

 

That should work, Assuming the monitor you are connecting?to does not have a Analog Composite input jack (Generally a yellow RCA jack.)? another alternative, if looking at small monitors, is to use an automotive backup camera monitor.
Here's an example?Amazon search. This has the advantage of running off your 12 volt?powersupply.

This assumes Darrell has or has access to a monitor that has the YELLOW composite video jack...? Without one of those, he would need the device to convert Composite Video to HDMI or VGA...
