Re: Getting Old (hi hi)
I use the LDG tuner that was designed as a match to the IC-7000 and have been trying to find a record of where I got my cable.? I think I got it from LDG themselves.? Icom has used the same four pin, single row tuner connector forever.? I did a quick check on eBay and the only seller of LDG to Icom cables I saw was in the UK.? I'd check with LDG.? 73, Bob -- W4ATM - 35 Miles south of the Kennedy Space Center Retired RF Design Engineer Now able to play with all the hobbies I never had enough time for |

Re: restarting
Thanks all the input, I've been out of radio for 15 years and seems my diagnostic skills have gone on vacation. I have checked the fuses at the battery since this is mobile. I don't have a seperation cable yet so it's a one piece install. I checked the fuses at the radio, they are a good connection. However after reinserting the fuses the radio no longer resets. So I cleaned the connections and everything thing is now good. VA7CPC mention a cleaner I've never heard of so I will try this as a preventative measure.?? Thanks for ALL the input. Now just programming this great little radio. Thanks again for the feedback.? Thomas KC5ETW? |

Re: restarting
That 3 volt drop is probably much more that is so quick you cannot see it and enough to drop out the radio.
If you are measuring at the 13.8 volt point on the tuner plug it would be a good indication that is the problem. Clean the fuses and all of the connections.? If you had 13.8 volts and a 3 volt drop you are left with 10.8 volts and that is too low, especially since you are probably not seeing the total instantaneous drop, which is higher. The radio will see it and shut off. ? |

Re: restarting
Started the truck no restart on the radio. Checked voltage when I key up it drops 3vdc. This pulles a lot more than what I took out. Of course maybe not so bad, at least I won't run my battery down when in the sticks watching a bike race.
Thanks everyone I'm still suspicious about buying this new in the box radio that has been setting in storage since purchased.? I know and trust the guy I bought it from, but still. |

Re: restarting
Can I be the first one, if not join others that suggest to check/clean your in line fuses on your power cable, also checking that your power supply is up to the task.

While in vhf mode I key up, the radio shuts down and restarts. Is this caused by tmnot having a HD antenna attached or other problem? |

Re: restarting
开云体育It is common for radios to restart like that if the power source drops below the required voltage. Be sure you have a large enough power supply.Ruben WA2NBL On May 21, 2022, at 2:05 PM, Thomas Mccain <temac@...> wrote:

Re: restarting
You may have a bad connection in the power cable. Corroded fuse holder etc are common.
When the current draw goes up the voltage drops to the point where the radio shuts off. Check with a meter oer a light bulb across the power. The 4 pin tuner jack has the 13.8 voltage on it and is a good place to measure the voltage. |
