I have been using a LDG IT-100 Tuner with my IC-7000 without any issues for the past year. It couldn't be easier to setup and use. Daniel VE3NI (ex-VE6EDS) -----Original Message-----

I'll likely use it more as a base radio as i have limited space for a big station. Any comments on using these item together is appreicated!

I have the exact same setup and it works perfect, the IT-100 is made for the IC-7000!

[IC-7000] Re: IC-7000 Power Output Dropping Off
kf5rgb
OK maybe I'm not understanding the ALC adjustment and the power meter correctly. I can adjust the transmit level on the soundcard to the lowest setting in DM780 and I see just a hint of ALC on the ALC meter,

but when I do that I see no movement at all on the power meter. Adjusting the transmit level up a little bit where I see something on the ALC meter I begin to see the power meter go up. Shouldn't the power meter correspond to the RF power I have the radio set at or am I confused? --- In ic7000@..., AG0N-3055 <mcduffie@...> wrote:

And is the reflected power the same with before and after it fades? Both will make a difference. Actually, you should not show any alc at all on PSK, but since you are having power fading problems, the above question could be critical in solving your problem before setting the input correctly.

The wire feeding the radio is at least 10awg I belive, its pretty thick. I reckon I can clean the fuses with the contact cleaner also and see if that fixes anything. |
Re: [IC-7000] VFO Knob
You are correct the one that switches between free and detent tuning is
working properly. The other one may have a mechanical problem with the switch that is not disengaging the detent tuning. Randy - K5MW From: ic7000@...

Subject: [IC-7000] VFO Knob Afternoon Guys, I bought two IC-7000s and could someone tell me what happens on the main tuning dial tension adjust. My two 7000 do not act the same .

The clicking is great if you are mobile but I plan on operating both radios fixed and want the free spinning VFO position without any tension.... I think there is something wrong with the one that clicks in every position and the book is no help. Can someone please advise. Thanks for the help. Dennis H. Cody WB5KCA |
Re: [IC-7000] Re: IC-7000 Power Output Dropping Off
Have you check your Power supply,? and also the wire / fuse going to the Radio??
Wire size and lenght does plays an important part in transferring current from the source to the Radio. Do also check Antenna fittings to see if everything is tight (((73))) Milverton. ________________________________[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
Re: FLDigi
I have used a similar setup with the IC-7000. All worked with HRD, DXLab & Fldigi. I recall lots of fiddling with software options to get things working. My current setup is RigControl via DX-Commander, Logging Via DX-Keeper, Digital Via Fldigi & I use the "Fldigi-DxKeeper Gateway" by N2AMG to interface between the 3-applications (Fldigi gets the operating frequency from DX-Commander & when I hit "log" in fldigi, it is automatically placed in my DxKeeper log. I don't know if it matters, but I always initiate in the order 1. DX-Commander, 2. DX-Keeper, 3. Gateway. The Gateway then auto-launches fldigi. It works Great, although sometimes the first "transmittal" from fldigi to DX-Keeper takes a while. Subsequent logs are instantaneous. All is in Windows 7.

I've been noticing mine doing the same thing when looking at the power meter doing PSK31. I'm starting to think it's a heat issue allthough the temp gauge never goes into the red, the case does get awfully hot to the touch. I'm gonna mount a computer fan on top of the case and see if that solves the problem.

Do you have flrig installed?

Re: FLDigi on the 7000
one thing to note: if you use the mini DIN port, you can not key with CI-V commands, you have to key via the PTT pin on the mini DIN port. If you use the CI-V keying commands it will put the radio in transmit mode but it will be taking audio from the 13 pin port (or the microphone) and not from the mini DIN port.

The invoice from HRO says that the serial number is (0513403). (I wonder if the serial number indicates there have been a half million of them manufactured before this one rolled off the assembly line?) I am not sure which of these numbers are of any significance. But if someone else knows of any significance to those numbers relative to the date of manufacture or "upgrade level" - please enlighten me - I'm sure there is a "coded message" hidden in there somewhere.

Re: Firmware Version Unchanged Since 2006
Hi everyone. I just purchased a new IC-7000 last month after many years of using a 706. The serial number on my unit is 2501XXX. Not sure if that means the country code has changed. It is a US version with a US waranty card (purchased from AES).

Maybe a bad/loose connection?

Mine has the "TV" mod (for what it is worth ;) ) and sometimes when I exert moderate pressure on the bottom of the control panel, the display goes all goofy (i.e., smearing or blanking out) until I let go. Found this by coincidence, and it does not happen every time. Otherwise, the display works great. When I get some time, I may look into the display/control head to see if there is anything obviously wrong. --- In ic7000@..., "ve7jz" <ve7jz@...> wrote:
