It may be less expensive (certainly less hassle) to buy a replacement HM-133 microphone, and swap the key legend membranes.? The buttons work the same between the HM-133 and HM-151.? I've done that, and it works !? $6.73 at AliExpress ?

Just curious, did Icom have them? Bob W4JFA
Now that I've had my IC-7000 for about six weeks; and repaired a fault in the pre-driver stage; and had several fine QSOs with this wonderful box of magic, I thought it was time to plug in the microphone and try it out. It was immediately apparent that the PTT switch (with the red button) was operating intermittently.? This was confirmed by direct testing of the switch using a multi-meter.  At the time, I hadn't seen this Topic.? So I was very pleased, and a bit surprised, to find replacement switches on eBay.? Indeed, I found several suppliers of suitable switches.? ?This is not a recommendation, but I bought ten of the 6 x 6 x 5 mm right angle PCB switches advertised at:  ?
I have no idea whether these switches are 'sealed' types.? ?But, for under ?5 for ten switches, this seemed like a very good deal, providing loads of spares for the future!? The first switch I tested worked fine, with a nice positive action.? So I soldered it in place.  Job done!

I believe that the switch on the back of the head (or where ever it lives) changes the output level between speaker and headphone level and does not switch the speaker in and out. It may mute the speaker when there is something plugged in, I think.
There may be another headphone level out provided in the RJ-45 8 pin jack for the mike like Icom had on the IC-7100. Memory fails at this time, however.

Yes there is a switch on the back of the head. I have not had to use it either. I am sure the manual covers its use.

Hi Ed If I understand your question correctly. You want to be able to turn off the internal speaker and use a headset (as in headphones). Well there is a headphone jack on the side of the head ( RHS), when you plug in there the speaker is disabled.? However if you want to use the microphone as well on a headset, then you would need to? 1. Make sure microphone is compatible with the 7000 2. You would need an interface cable between mic jack and headset. I have not attempted 2 as yet, but I use the headphone jack to interface to my computer for running a program called Spectran, and it definitely switches of speaker. Cheers? Neil ? I have an IC7000 and would like to have a switch from the internal speaker and a headset. Suggestions?

You may also look at CT17B CI-V Hubs can connect via Bluetooth or usb, and 5 CIV radios or OEM CI-V Devices, all ports, DC and Grouns are rfi filtered, signals are processed and automatically leveled to maximum, etc... all the info are on www.ve2dx.com?

There are cheaper ones but they have the Prolofic chipset which tend to have driver issues unlike the FTDI chipset.??

This is for CAT control.? If you didn't get a Signalink cable, you need one with a mini DIN 6 pin connector. Part # SLCAB6PM

Re: Locking Memory Frequencies
Thanks Neil, I've owned my 7000 since 2007 and just found out from your post that there is a mechanical lock on the right side of the tuning knob. I just tried it for the first time!??

I'm using a IC7000, a Lenovo Yoga computer and a Signalink. ?Hope to one day get to try digital comm. What interface cable should I get?

Re: Locking Memory Frequencies
Hi There is also the mechanical lock on right side of head by big knob. 73

Locking Memory Frequencies
Hello all:
?
?? I just purchased a 7000 with the primary usage being mobile 2 and 432 SSB/FM in various vehicles.? All of the memories are tunable.? Is there any way to lock them so the frequency can't be changed by an inadvertent knock on the tuning dial?? If it's in the manual I missed it.? Thanks/
