Re: Where is and how to replace the coin sized memory battery inside the IC-7000
FWIW --
From the IC-7000 Operating Manual, p. 137:
¡öMemory backup
All of the CPU¡¯s memory is backed up by an EEPROM (Electronically-Erasable Programmable Read- Only Memory). All data you set, such as VFO, memory, set mode contents, etc. are stored in this EEPROM. There is no internal lithium battery.

Where is and how to replace the coin sized memory battery inside the IC-7000
I know there is a memory battery inside the IC-7000 but I don't know where its at or how to replace it. I ordered a replacement from Icom America's Parts Department (Thanks Carl Shearer) but they don't have instructions on how to or where the replacement goes. Is it in the body or the head of the unit?
Advise is appreciated

Re: LOOKING FOR A 7000 TO GO MOBILE
The separation cable, not the hardware, just the cable, was on-sale at HRO last week.? Don't know if they are still available.

Re: [IC-7000] I hear audio in the speaker when transmitting
As it turns out, this problem was caused by my 10 year old Samlex SEC1223 power supply.? After checking the radio on the bench once again I connected it to an Astron power supply.? No more issue.? Connected my 7000 back to the Samlex and monitored the DC supply on the scope. It had lots of noise on the DC when transmit power peaked. After inspection of the power supply I discovered three 2200 mfd 25V capacitors that had bulged and leaked black goo out the top.? I ordered replacements for the capacitors.? Hopefully the little Samlex supply will be good as new again after the replacement.?? -MD N6PRX

Re: [IC-7000] I hear audio in the speaker when transmitting
Are you using the same jumper cable to connect to both the antenna and the dummy load?? If your answer is yes, Try a different jumper cable and make sure the shield is properly soldered to the PL-259(s).? I have encountered several situations where the shield was improperly soldered, or not soldered at all to the connectors.? Also beware of crimped PL259 as some users will use a pair of pliers or another wrong tool to attempt the crimp which eventually can become faulty due to electrolysis or corrosion building up inside the connector due to the Wimpy Crimpy. I also own a IC-7k of similiar vintage and have not experienced this fault.?? Good Luck...//73// John K3NOQ/K5 (today)

Re: IC7000 switching on but no tx/rx
I had same problem with my 7000. I couldn't get it to work even with rebooting a day later. Sent it in for repair and learned that it worked perfectly there. Solution is to pay UPS and pay the repair guy and it works. Maybe it needed a 2 week rest before the relay decided to work?

My 7000 has started doing a similar fault. I use mine in the mobile, and one day I turned it on and it had no TX or RX, I left it on and after about 30 min I had to restart the vehicle which also drops the voltage causing the radio to restart, and the 7000 sprung back to life again. This happened a few more times but it needed a longer and longer time after being switched on before a restart would enable TX or RX on the radio. Now even 24 hrs isn't enough. I suspect its a sticky relay somewhere. Any advise is welcome. David MM5DWW

Re: [IC-7000] I hear audio in the speaker when transmitting
Hello,?
My IC7k does the same. For the moment just in few bands and from 70% of power up.
Everything is in place and tight.?
I remember that i had this noise on solid state audio power amplifier while was tested on dummy load.?
In that time the source was located on finals and all the units with this noise fails.

Try this... open the rig and loosen then thighten all the board mounting screws. Do the same with interconnection cables. Put it back together and test...

This is not a ground issue. It is repeatable on the test bench. It's present in the internal speaker when connected only to a dummy load with nothing but the power supply and a paddle attached. It will happen on CW and SSB with mic or external audio input even without the mic connected.? On SSB, it doesn't matter if the mic is in the front jack or the rear, or not at all.? This was not occurring the night I shut it off and was noticed the next morning when I turned the rig on.? It's not monitor audio.? That's definitely off.? When monitor is on the audio in the speaker/phones is clean.? This is scratchy sounding, and on CW it's almost like a sizzle.? (similar to the arcing sound of a tuner capacitor) I'm going to investigate further and record it.?

Have you got the Monitor function turned on? It is buried in the menu settings.

Look at the sound card settings.? Are you listening to the 'recording device'?

Hi John,
I'm curious to know if the problem was ever resolved. As of
yesterday my 10 year old 7000 just began having faint scratchy
audio when I transmit on HF SSB, CW, and RTTY mode (more like a
frying hiss) coming from the speaker, internal or external. The
symptom goes away if I reduce the output power to around 50% or
lower.? AM is OK, but I suspect the lower output doesn't trigger
the noise.? No problem on VHF or UHF. ? For those who will
comment... the faint scratchy audio and/or noise, depending on
transmit mode, is there all the time, antenna or dummy load.? It's
not RFI.? Ground is good, mic doesn't need to even be plugged in
for it to happen on CW when keyed.
