Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Hi Tommy . Have you tried to inject a signal after L305 ?
The output circuit is passive and at least you can verify losses in that part of the circuit. Or maybe little loss which means power

Bob, Thanks for the encouragement
I have considered all of the suggestions for troubleshooting the problem I
have with the IC7000. I have tried to trace the HF RF path with an
oscilloscope from

Re: Japan version needing frequency expansion on 2m/440
Thanks for some more responses, I should have looked into it more carefully before buying the Japan version. These radio's can sometimes be scarce to buy used when looking for one and at the time, all

Andrew,
I wish there was a universal way to communicate this to all:
Domestic Japanese amateur radio units are blocked at the CPU level to only be able to transmit on Japanese amateur radio

Re: Japan version needing frequency expansion on 2m/440
Unfortunately almost all Japanese radios are set to conform to Japanese laws and are not modifiable to meet US US specifications.
The Japanese "FCC" does not allow the radios modification and these

Japan version needing frequency expansion on 2m/440
Hello all!
I recently purchased the Japan version of the IC-7000 for use in my my shack while my other USA version one will stay as a mobile. Of course there are some difference in frequencies between

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Forgive me if this has been mentioned before but as this is the 29th reply I haven't gone back and read everything.
I always go first to where the effect of a fault is obvious without any ambiguity,

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Thanks Tommy. much appreciated. I thought there was only one version in circulation.
Anyway sounds like you have some good advice from members here . It does sound like RF power is being lost

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Apply a DC via a resistor to JHFOR, see if the power folds back and current drops
Then you can work on it and trace

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Hi Tommy again,
Also looking at the block diagram, I can see the TX and RX share the LPF, which actually turns out to be Band Pass filters!! Fairly wide.
How does the RF get to the filter board is

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
The power control will not reduce power if the forward power measurement circuit is not receiving power. As it is after the bandpass filters and that is where the problem seems to be. Currently the

Can you turn the power down on FM or CW to a few watts?

Yes the current supply varies with usb modulation. That is why I put the
mode to FM for the supply current test. The odd thing to me is that the
supply current is substantially higher with

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
Hi,
You need to find out if there is RF power being generated.? The current is a clue, so switch to USB key up you should draw a few amps bias current, the speak CQCQ ect, the current should peak in
