It was a valid question.

If You dont have something positive to say - then dont say it.

Hi Everybody;

I would also suggest that people at least read the following Yahoo Group to see how we are pursuing getting things changed; I personally would like to see an option for people to have a choice of interfaces, but a rollback of the new interface would be a nice start and having Yahoo do real beta testing on this would be good.

Yahoo has offered the use of their groups for years for free. Yahoo has to make money in some fashion. Unless we as a group administrators wish to pay a fee to have our groups hosted , we are going to have to put up with ads, otherwise Yahoo will do like other servers, and just simply quit hosting groups . I think we just need to learn to live with it, and be glad that we get groups for free. Sincerely, KC 4 BO

Hi Everybody;

Yahoo decided to place stream ads into the "Conversation" section. This is highly confusing and misleading.

Please go to this link and voice your displeasure with this method of false advertising.

?

Also, can you please go to this link and tell Yahoo what you think about the ads in the “conversation” section.

You can further go to:

And tell Yahoo what you think and you can also vote to keep Yahoo a pleasant experience and knowledge base, without ads.

If you are a administrator of a group please forward this message to all users in other groups you administer.?

Thank you;

Hello Tom,

I had exactly the same problem that I solved yesterday.

There is a small connector named J2231 on the main unit, next to the internal speaker connector.

This connector carry the video signal to the display unit.

I think you should check this connection by moving it slightly and see what happens on the display.

The shielded wire on this connector is very brittle and the inner wire is made of a single copper wire, so very fragile if manipulated too much.

I my case, because I unplugged and plugged the jack in the connector a lot of times (I had to fix another problem on my 7000) the inner copper wire was broken and these was a bad, intermittent connection that caused the problem.

For example, if you use an antenna tuner plugged to the 4 poles flat connector, plugging and unpluging it can move the connector J2231 and cause the problem (the 4 wires of the 4 poles flat connector run just on the top of J2231 and they move when? you plug and unplug the external tuner’s connector).

I my case, moving the external part of the tuner’s connector caused the “wawy” display.

I hope this can help.

Please let me know.

I think he was already setting to WWV. ???Losing a full minute in only two weeks is entirely unacceptable. ???We're not talking about microseconds here, we're talking minutes. ???Apparently, ICom didn't put too much effort into the clock circuits. ???That's a shame especially for a where time is used in the very process, such as logging.

I once had a Timex watch that must have been a fluke (not a Fluke, hi). ???I swear it was so accurate it was scary. ???It gained or lost (forget which) only about 2 seconds in a YEAR. ???Maybe ICom should have partnered with Timex! Unfortunately, never had another one like that!???

May I suggest a simple solution? Since this is a HF RADIO, how about one tune in WWV or other location-dependent time reference and
synchronize the radio to THAT? If accuracy is what you want, you're only limited by your reflexes and the speed of light. If you
need it to be more accurate, you're in the wrong business!

I haven't checked my clocks.??? In fact, only one of the 2 radios has ever been set to the right time, and that only happened after nearly 3 years of owning it!??? As you can see, the clock isn't a high priority item for me. :)??? For me, "opportunistic setting" by software that simply sets the time as part of its initialisation routine would be sufficient for my needs.???

Speaking of timers, the one big omission in my book is that there is no PTT timeout timer, so if you're running software control and something hangs, the radio could get stuck in transmit.??? Just had another look (and search) through the manual to make sure I hadn't overlooked that one.

Problems with the clock keeping time may be in part due to the clock battery getting weak.

Yes, there is a battery that is only used for the RTC - clock chip. I had one IC-7000 with a battery that failed..To use the clock it had to be set every time you turned on the rig. I gave up on it..? A pain to change the battery.. not worth the bother. My solution was to forget about the clock. I use a cheap little clock, there are lots of them available.

There was more discussion about this in this group in the past, search for more info..

I don't really worry much. WWV calls me every morning to get the correct time.

Wow.. a fellow ham just posted a message about a concern wit h his radio and these are his responses. I had to take a second look to see what group I was in. I was sure this was the IC 7000 reflector.

Our hobby needs mentors and elmers not cynics and critics.

I live fairly close to the city of Kitimat in northwestern British Columbia; the power that feeds the Rio Tinto smelter in Kitimat sometimes finds its way in to the BC Hydro power supply. The Rio Tinto supply is a couple of hertz slower than BC Hydro supply. Consequently, sometimes a/c supplied clocks are out a few minutes here and there.

Fearing that I may change this thread's direction , I am going to ask.?????? I talk regularly to a group of real gentlemen on 75 meters each??? morning . Some are more attentive than others about the ten ID rule. ??? Almost all are computer equipped and most have Atomic (or should I actually point out " Radio Controlled ) clocks . ??? Not wanting to waste too much time from our medical hour or the weather reports , we all ID at the same time . ??? ??? My computer nor my Atomic Radio Controlled clock is on the same time as the rest. ??? The clock??? & computer just reset themselves last Sunday morning and sure enough I am still almost seven seconds off from the group . My??? Watch took three days to find it's time but matches my computer & Shack clock with it's Atomic Radio Control . All three of my clocks are in unison which I trust as they differ equally from my Icom radio.??? Am I living in some kind of Time Warp or could??? my Radio friends be bullying me by deceiving their real time reports.??? I may have led a somewhat sheltered life and not recognize these conditions readily . ??? ??? ??? TNX in Advance ??? ??? ??? ?????? Chuck ??? ?????? Wq5B ?????? ???

Or on lengthy messaging on inane subjects on this forum ....

???

they advertised a clock
you thought that would be great
whats wrong with wanting it to be accurate?
"Rich"

It's as accurate as any other commercial battery powered quartz clock. It's the luck of the draw as to exactly how accurate any one clock will be - mine has lost 3 minutes +/- in two years. There's a small lithium cell in the radio to keep the clock running with power off.

For exact timekeeping, I keep an inexpensive Atomic Clock on the desk.??? It's biggest problem is that it's position sensitive - unless it's angled just right with respect to WWV in Colorado, it only updates occasionally, depending on 60 KHz reception.??? With correct positioning, it updates every midnight - then is accurate to 1 second.
