Re: [IC-7000] More Smoke than RF
Agreed, Milo! Sometimes I feel my old vacum tube powered radio is just like a lit 5W lamp, compared to the 7k. I can¡¯t say I use that much my 7k, but, I can feel it very hot after 30 minutes at 50%

Re: [IC-7000] More Smoke than RF
Hi Bill, Just curious how long (over all, not that session) you have been using it, and if you were running full power, or close to it. It has always been my opinion, not shared by all I might add,

Re: [IC-7000] More Smoke than RF
With three failures in a year, I would look if there is something about your installation that could be a problem. The common problems in my experience are: Intermittent shorts or opens in feed lines.

Re: [IC-7000] More Smoke than RF
I previously had the HF pre-amp FETs short out. ICOM was good about fixing that quickly, as well as replacing a "noisy fan" (? - never noticed it). Second time I sent it in for what I was considering

Re: [IC-7000] DSC for IC 7000
Just to throw my 2 cents in about the IC-M802. The radio is a boat anchor. Then you add the speaker and the control head, both are plastic and neither of which weigh very much. However, this was

Re: [IC-7000] DSC for IC 7000
There are several problems: There's nobody who will _receive_ an HF DSC call on the ham bands -- it doesn't exist as a "standard protocol", and there are no standard "emergency frequencies" on the ham

My -7000 just produced a wonderful *pop* sound halfway into a Dit-Dit, and then billowed smoke. Great way to kick off 2014 and work the ARRL Centennial QSO Party. This will be the third time it makes

Re: [IC-7000] DSC for IC 7000
Since the IC-M412, which is?a marine VHF?and a marine SSB was mentioned, why not just get the IC-M802, which is a marine SSB?

Re: [IC-7000] DSC for IC 7000
APRS is NOT DSC (Digital Selective Calling). The IC-7000 doesn't do the DSC protocol. You need a marine radio, such as an IC-M412.
