Re: IC7000 Internal Clock Problem
Right on Alex, LOL, but just looked at display here and the darned clock is off a whole minute (slow). Have no idea when last adjusted though probably at initial setup at acquisition 3/29/2010. Phil /

Re: IC7000 Internal Clock Problem
I noticed mine is temperature sensitive. I have seen it run a bit fast or slow based on whether it was in teh house or the car (in the cold). I assume the clock is a module Icom bought which means

Re: [IC-7000] IC7000 Internal Clock Problem
I must admit I never look at the clock on my IC-7000. I'm more likely to look at the computer or VCR (used for ATV reception) than the radio for the time. -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL

IC-7000 Power cord
Alex, The power cord is long so as to allow direct connection to a vehicle battery. The fuses are located at the battery to protect against a short wherein the cable would rub up against the chassis

Re: [IC-7000] IC7000 Internal Clock Problem
I'm in this camp too, except for one thing. If the "feature" is there, it should work. Period. Like you, I don't think it has a good use at all, and any clock that doesn't have at least a 60 cycle

Re: [IC-7000] IC7000 Internal Clock Problem
It's been awhile since I looked at the schematic but I think there is a 38 KHz crystal in the radio for the RTC circuit. If there is no "padder" capacitor to adjust, the only solution is to replace
