Re: shut down / restart on keying, now no power
Save the old, bad one. I’ll bet the connection was broken where you had the photo. Should be an easy fix and you have a spare.

Re: IC-7000 no rx and no sound out from speaker
Good move. These cables can produce weird faults if they are handled
poorly. Make sure the small backup strip is in place on the new cables.
Looks like someone has been inside this radio

Re: shut down / restart on keying, now no power
Thank you all, vy much, for your responses. The first thing I did was examine the fuse cases. I received this radio from a friend and the power cables included seem to be OPC-025D, with a 6-pin

Re: IC7000 no HF power out but VHF/UHF ok
Signal level tracing with a 'scope is the way to go, looking at the levels in and out of the driver and to the finals.

Re: shut down / restart on keying, now no power
Hi Colin,
These things are ALWAYS caused by power input failure, which only shows

Re: shut down / restart on keying, now no power
Hi Colin,
Check the fuse holder! open it, remove both fuses and clean each end, and also clean the contacts inside the holder.
That should solve your problem....
