Re: Hf tx
Icom 7000 and 7300 as I have both work down to 12V reliably.
They get fussy at? around 11.8V.? ?That however is measured
at the rear panel connector.? Long wires and fuse issues even
at 13.8 can

Re: Hf tx
I checked power supply connections. Good. I came across 2 patch cords that had gone south. One was new a year ago. The radio is working as it should. Thank you to all who replied. Now to play on hf.

Re: Hf tx
Hi Most Icom radios will not operate on low voltage, i.e. 12.5V lead acid, always feed with 13.8V min.
Yaesu and Elecraft will go down a bit.

The IC-7000 is VERY voltage sensitive.? I had the exact same problem.? The very nice and competent gentleman at the St. Joseph Icom Service Center set me straight.? The 7000 needs 13.6v.? Use a

Re: Hf tx
James,
Before you do anything, make sure the power supply can handle the transmit current of the rig. If it did it before, it’s probably fine.
And definitely, take out the blade fuses from

Re: Hf tx
Check the absorption of the power supply, check the contacts of the cable with the power supply and with the radio and finally check the fuses along the cable itself, they must have a solid electrical

Hf tx
I've owned my 7000 since new. Recently upon attempting to TX on hf the radio re-starts. Any ideas before I send it off? Tried different antennas same result. Haven't tried vhf or uhf.

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
I have done a little more troubleshooting around the LPF final filter
section. I unplugged the cable from the main board to the PA. I set the
freq to 14.2 MHz. I separated the output of L305

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
20% high does not sound too bad!!
It is when they drop low and you lose 90% will be the issue.

I think Andrew suggested that capacitors may be the issue. There are two
large smt capacitors in the filter section after the PA section. I removed
these and measured them. The result is as

Re: IC7000 no HF Transmit
RL801 may not be making good contact. You can check the levels with your
scope. I would use SSB and whistle in the Mike for tracing to keep the
power dissipation low.
