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!??

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/

Re: Intermittent Loss of Pre-Driver signal
Hi Now that I have had time to look at the data sheets for the 2 devices. The physical size would make it difficult to fit onto the space. The replacement is designed to mount on a large heatsink, bolted through mounting hole and then stand above circuit board. The device in the IC7000 is a surface mounted device (SMD). I think heat-sinking or throttling back drive a little or both is best.
Steve, Is it possible to do a finger temperature test on those two devices, after transmitting for a while into a dummy load. Firstly to compare how hot each one gets, and secondly to see how hot it’s running. If it is getting really hot after a short test, then most likely the device may fail again.
Hope this helps 73

Bob W4JFA Update: New FET received & old FET removed
?
The new FET arrived today, ahead of the de-solder wick.? Upon inspection, I was pleased to see that the FET 'tab' and 'source' connections are made from a single piece of metal, which is clearly visible from the underside of the device. This knowledge helped me in two ways.? Firstly, the source terminal on my IC-7000 had to be soldered to ground via the tab terminal, if not via the pad under the source terminal.? ?Secondly, I now had confidence that heating the source terminal with the soldering iron would probably release the tab terminal also.?? So, armed with my 50 year-old Weller TCP soldering iron, I first heated the tab, and then quickly moved to heating the gate, source, and drain terminals, thereby releasing the FET from the board.? Actually, it didn't happen quite this cleanly because the device fell apart during de-soldering.? I was half expecting this to happen. I then cleaned each pad of solder, a whisker at a time, by repeated application of a 'dry' soldering iron tip.?? Here is the result: <Img_5065_sm.jpg> ?
Note that the PTHs each side of the 56 ohm resistor look much nicer from this camera angle? :-) I have since checked the FET PCB pads for continuity, and all look to be solid, with no solder bridges caused by my ham-fisted work with less than ideal tools.? Note that I still haven't removed the Main board from the rig. And here is a photo of what's left of the dead FET: <dead_fet.jpg> I'm now planning the next part of the repair.? There does at least seem to be a good chance of installing the new FET without removing the Main board.? All would be suggestions greatly appreciated.? ?
