Thanks for the input.? The radio now works correctly.
Ed, It's not the radio.?
On your computer that you're using for FT-8,? Increase the drive on your USB Audio Codec.
Like Don said, there's not enough drive from the sound card.

This may mean that the audio out from?the FT8 software is too low.
The strength?of the SSB signal is in part controlled by the strength of the audio signal being tranmiitted.
My radio has full power?out in SSB and very little power out in FT modes.? Help.

Have used?mine for a good number of years.
you don,t?say what antenna you're using.
I use a 10 element yagi?vertically polarised.

Re: IC-7000 with full ALC in HF
How does the ALC behave using SSB, where are you feeding in the RTTY signals?
On SSB set mic gain to zero, there should be no ALC when you speak.

Hi guys
I have in my hands an IC-7000 with several issue.
One of them is the following :
in HF I had 100 watt in all bands, no problem but ALC meter goes always
in full-red zone, the ALC scale is full.
I beleive was an adj issue so I have dona all adjustament as service
manual describes.
Before bias driver and finals (1? & 2), no problem, Gain HF1, HF2, HF3;
then power 1, 10 , 25, 50, 75, 90 and 105 watt, perfect !
ALC setting ok
But when I go in RTTY full power I have ALC meter completly in full
scale (red)
I suppose there is an block in TX-chain doesn't work very well so CPU
pumps ALC to max.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

Re: IC-7000 with full ALC in HF
The ALC is derived from the forward power senseor. As the power control is working, the fault dhould not br too difficult

Dear Tommy,
When we switch on the radio the relay vibrates indefinitely and won't switch on..i thought it may be cpu issue so got one cpu and replaced but the problem persists, i can send that extra cpu if you need, regarding the cpu issue..a recalling from mobile phone technician on the dsp ic solved many cpu issues ,

Hi, Why is the logic assembly sitting on top of the radio? What do you mean by relay vibration issue?
Thanks Tommy KF4RWG
Hi ,
I am having an icom ic7000 fully intact but has relay vibration issue ,so any friends need for parts or repair it can send across, I can ship to any where fedex,dhl and ups can deliver ,shipping charges as actuals or as per your advice, the price is 400usd plus shipping charges,Radio+original mic will be send ,the pictures are attached here,contact me for more specific details, if some one wants to buy as group you can plan accordingly for your needed parts,

Hello,
I recently bought a used 7000 and it's missing a few parts. If anyone
has the following parts, new or used, please let me know:
Band down button: MP34 (F)
Desk stand: MP33 (C), MP32 (C), MP31 (C), and MP19 (C) x 4
I've contacted Icom support but those parts are no longer available
from them.
