The two pronged connector goes to an external power supply that will convert ac current to the dc 13.8 v current that operates your radio. The external power supply is what gets plugged into your wall

I'd ease up on that one a bit. I think with a key connected, he might be able to practice a little code with the sidetone and get a feel for things there too. You never know, he may become a CW op

Yes. And in the event of a lightening storm and when not in use, disconnect the antenna(s) from the 7000 and place the ends into an individual clean dry glass jar. Don't put your faith into a blitz

IC-7000] at home as a base station? - Alex [no call sign yet] Alex, Welcome to ham radio. Lots to learn, and in my opinion, well worth it. I?d recommend that (if you haven?t already) you check out

As suggested I've also turned VOX off and RF down to 0 per cent.

Thanks. On switching it on it goes straight to receive anyway. I haven't connected the mic and from what I can see in the manual the only transmit button is on the mic keypap.

Hi Robert Thank you for your reply. Yes it does seem that it can't be the dac as it provides the other modes.? I also notice that this radio has those ribbons as well, they make me shudder as I have

Read the owners manual! The external ground is NOT needed depending on who you listen to.. BOB HEIL a king in ham has 24 radios and 46 other items that have grounds in his shack and NON are grounded,

That said, I don't have an issue with "cheating" in CW, but it is good to practice the basic skills. As much as I love SDR and advanced digital modes - I spend the bulk of my on air time these days

I consider "cheating" using anything but a straight key.

Strictly speaking, I'd class either way as cheating, though receiving would be more so. :) > -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

Umm, tell that to the rest of the world, the sky hasn't fallen in where mode restrictions have long been removed, CW is alive and well in this part of the world. Traditional CW has one trait that no

One "kit" source that will do the job: http://w3yy.com/fsk.htm I haven't built it, but the reviews on "eHam.net" are excellent. At a higher price-point, there's the K1EL "Winkeyer USB":

de WB2CPN There is a misconception about what CW is. CW is a carrier that's keyed on and off. A single RF carrier, without any AM or FM on it. (MCW is an AM signal.) That's what a CW key does to the
