Re: IC-7000 and LDG IT-100 ,trouble ?!?!?!

 

开云体育

I have an IC-7000 and I bought an LDG AT-200 PRO II this week.? The tuner really acts erratic & now it's on it's way back to the store from where I bought it.
I also noticed that the SWR varies way too fast during? a tune cycle.? The tuner even wants to spend a long time trying to tune a resonant antenna while
subjecting the 7000 to very high SWR.? The 2000 memories that the LDG claims to have doesn't seem to work.? The tuner wants to tune almost all the time.
Oh, when placing the tuner in bypass mode and using a dummy load as the antenna the LDG's? LED SWR meter reads almost 2:1? while the IC-7000 is seeing 1:1.

Good luck and I understand Matt at SARTS does excellent work.

The IT-100 is good to 100 watts for ssb and CW, but only good to 30 watts for digital modes.

Re: An auto tuner for my IC-7000

 

Hello Marco,

I’d vote for the AH-4 or a SGC tuner, although it’s not one of you chocies.
Maybe a bit more $$, but very versatile and they work great, whether its a long wire, dipole, loop or vertical. Plug & play.

GL & 73,
Jeff/wb0m


Re: An auto tuner for my IC-7000

 

Hello,

AH-4 need a command wire.

To answer to the question, i prefer a wellknow Smartuner SG230.
Much expansive but better quality.

I use mine for 20 years like you can see on qrz.com.
(long wire before and now loop)

Best regards,
Ludovic - F5PBG.

The IT-100 requires that you tune it with the front button or the tune button on the radio, it is not fully automatic.? That is not really evident from the description.? The 100 or 200 Pro II are automatic.

I would like to purchase an automatic tuner for my 7k. I have selected the MFJ-939I and the MFJ-993B.
?I would prefer the latter, as it is way more versatile. However, as far as I have understood, when I change frequency, the 939I tunes up without the need to push the "tune" button, while the 993B requires button pushing.

?The first question should always be what types of antennas are you using?? Any thing else we should be aware of about your installation (mobile, second floor shack with poor RF ground, switching among different antennas on the same band, etc.) ?? ? Some tuners work OK with some antennas and don't work at all with others....

I would avoid MFJ, due to continuing erratic quality control problems.

Re: IC-7000 used value

I have one I would sell. It was a recovery project and is restored to full capability with a new processor. Includes mounting bracket, separation cable, mic. One always worries a bit when the 7000 has been opened up and especially when it has had major surgery like this one. But it works perfectly on all bands. $600 including shipping. Only selling because I have similarly restored IC-7100 and IC-706 and normally use an RS-HFIQ SDR for air so the 7000 is redundant.

Re: IC-7000 used value

 

I have two of them; currently with separation cable and in good shapen tey are around EUR 700.

I still am not selling them.


Re: An auto tuner for my IC-7000

 

Hi Marco,

I am using for years the LDG Z-100Plus. Same width, but shorter, sits under the IC7000. The special cable furnished for the IC7000 enables using its TUNER button. Is half-price the MFJ993B at least overhere.
