restarting

Thomas Mccain All Messages By This Member #41715 Just got a new ic 7000 installed don't have the HD antenna attached,? but the vhf/uh is. 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?
J.D. Barron Member Profile All Messages By This Member #41716 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.

Geoff All Messages By This Member #41718 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. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sun, 22 May 2022, 07:05 Thomas Mccain, <temac@...> wrote: Just got a new ic 7000 installed don't have the HD antenna attached,? but the vhf/uh is.

Thomas Mccain All Messages By This Member #41720 Forgot to mention it's in my pickup. I'll check the voltage. This is replacing my kenwood tm-733,? untill I get it fixed, lost vhf xmit.
Thomas Mccain All Messages By This Member #41721 No expansion cable, yet. No tuner since no HD is connected.?
K3EEZ All Messages By This Member #41722 As others have said, this may be the supply voltage problem. If you are doing this and a vehicle and the engine is not running, try it with the engine running.
Thomas Mccain All Messages By This Member #41723 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.
J.D. Barron Member Profile All Messages By This Member #41724 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. ?

The contacts for that connection (on both the main radio body, and the faceplate) are _very_ sensitive to dirt.? I've had to clean them with a Q-tip and alcohol, when they looked OK, to cure "radio cutout" and "radio no-start" problems. The problem occurs with, or without, the "remote cable".? I suspect the mating force, on the gold-plated contacts, is quite low. And we all know about the problems with corroded fuses in the power cable.? I fixed that with Boeshield T9, which leaves a waxy residue which is _very_ effective at keeping water out, and preventing corrosion.? For land mobile, any oil-containing contact cleaner would be OK. .? ? ? charles / va7cpc

Thomas Mccain All Messages By This Member #41727 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.?
