Not sure why a public safety agency would go with Nexedge, sure seems counterproductive to the whole concept of Interoperability and to what APCO is pushing. My guess is at some point (probably sooner rather than later) they will regret this move.

That said, there are several Nexedge groups on YahooGroups. I think you would be more likely to find your answers to this in one of them. Or on a scanning group.

Another excellent resource for this type of discussion is Radio Reference- www.radioreference.com Information can be found here for all things scanning and monitoring, especially in their forums.

Hi all,

I mostly do digimode on HF (and FM via repeaters on VHF/UHF), but on occasion I do some phone on HF. It has happened to me a couple of times that I get a comment on my audio (without asking), that it sounds "bad". One user described it as "like a howling vacuumcleaner". Today I did some test with a nearby HAM on 80m (an simultaneously via a repeater on FM) and he didn't notice it being bad. Okay, speaking directly into the mike revealed some plopping sounds and the digimode audio cable produces some hiss from the computer (cheap USB sound dongle and direct couples audio cables, no money for a Signalink USB or Microkeyer yet), but nothing more.

At first I thought (and was suggested) that it could be RFI, but I also got bad audio reports on 40W or less. And, moving the MFJ926B from 5 feet to 25 feet away from the IC700 didn't make a difference.

Then I suspected the Compressor and TBW settings. And okay, Wide (100-2900) sounds better than Mid (300-2900) or Narrow (500-2900), but neither sounded "bad". Even the compressor had just a minor influence on the "badness" of the audio.

Until now I got a handfull of spontaneous bad audio reports, one from 15 miles away on 80m and the rest from DX stations (Lebanon, Egypt, Switzerland, to name a couple). IIRC I used Wide/Compressor on all QSO's, but switched off the Compressor on all occasions and that didn;t help that much.

In digimode I get an occasional QRZ/AGN, but most QSO's are 100% copy (unless the remote station is on the edge for me, but even them I get mostly solid reports).

So, do any of you recognise this bad sounding audio phenomenon? If so, any suggestions on how to avoid it? I'd like suggestion that don't involve buying other microphones though. ;)

My HRD shows the settings even if the Compression is of or on. You can turn it off or on from the buttons on the upper left side the slider does not change.

I using (HRD) Ham Radio Deluxe version 5.24.0.36 BTW if that makes any difference.........

Maybe I ought to be asking this in the HRD forum but I thought I'd start here 1st. I've been noticing when running HRD, the program indicates my compression is set at 4 even though I have the speech compressor turned off on the radio. Id there some setting on the radio I'm missing that would automatically make the compression level in HRD equal 4? I can even adjust it to zero in HRD but it automatically pops back up to 4 as soon as I do it. Any ideas?

Not with the IC7000.

Hi Bill. I'll reply off-list with info on that so we don't make a lot of noise on the list.

-g-

I have a county near by that has went to a nexedge system. Anyway to receive this?

Happy new year and a lot of DX's in 2013

Anyway... Yes it was very helpfull as you gave me the path to obtaining the correct
cable that I will require.

So thanks.

I bought the 7000 secondhand, but the seller had lost/misplaced the
manual ! Dunno how you do that, as they
are generally quite large and somewhat thick. Guess when Icom NZ
reopen after their somewhat extensive
Xmas/New Year break, I can email them to obtain a 7000 manual. Should be
all downhill once I have it in my
hands.

Thanks for the advise.

You can download a manual here:

Resistance is futile.

(don't know about reactance, though)

In the meantime, you can download it in pdf form. I keep most of my manuals
in electronic form on a tablet. That way, no matter what equipment I'm
using, especially mobile or portable (i.e. away from home) I have the manual
handy, without carrying the paper. Here's the link to the IC7000 manual on
their kiwi website

The 7000 manual is on the Icomamerica web site. It is a 9.9 meg file. The nice thing with the PDF file is the ability to do a text search.
see: icomamaeica.com/en/amateur/ and don't forget the www.
