Pete Kragh All Messages By This Member #42122 Anyone using the 7000 in FT8?? Comments?

Ed Efchak All Messages By This Member #42126 I use it as my primary FT8 rig.?? It works...also use Signalink. Never push it more than 25 watts and works FB. ed WX2R toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, May 8, 2023 at 11:34?AM Don Rolph <don.rolph@...> wrote: It works. I use a Signalink interface.

AB2E Darrell All Messages By This Member #42127 开云体育 Hi Pete, If you want a quick and simple solution get a Signalink USB. They support the 7000 with a special rig cable. You simply put the rig in USB, and the Signalink USB will work with any digital software (the Signalink also keeps the rig in USB mode when it's on). I use WSJT-X for FT8, and have it linked to N1MM and DXLab for logging. Works great. 73 Darrell AB2E toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Pete Kragh via groups.io <k2upd@...> Sent: Monday, May 8, 2023 11:32 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [ic7000] FT8 ?

Robie - AJ4F All Messages By This Member #42133 Pete, I have used my IC7000 for many years running WSJT-X in the FT8 mode and prior to that in the JT65 and JT9 modes without any issues. I run the IC7000 between 75 and 90 W for these modes.?? I use a USB to CIV converter for rig control and send/receive audio?between the computer and IC7000 via the 13 pin DIN plug on the back of the IC7000.? ?The audio out of the IC7000 goes into the computer's microphone input and the headphone output from the computer goes into the IC7000 audio in. PTT is handled via CAT in WSJTX Mode is USB in WSJTX Split Operation is Fake It in WSJTX ? The use of a Signalink is not required. Good luck, Robie AJ4F toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, May 8, 2023 at 10:32?AM Pete Kragh via <k2upd=[email protected]> wrote: Anyone using the 7000 in FT8?? Comments?
Daniel Uppstr?m All Messages By This Member #42137 开云体育 Yes. But the frequency stability is not good enough for FT8-operation at 144 or 432 MHz. You should do the "fan mod", i.e. connecting the fan through 100 ohms to 13.8V so that it is running all the time, in order to minimize sudden temperature changes when going from RX to TX and vice versa. Also I recommend insulating the TCXO: /Daniel SM6VFZ On 5/8/23 17:32, Pete Kragh via groups.io wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Anyone using the 7000 in FT8?? Comments?
Robie - AJ4F All Messages By This Member #42138 Daniel, Thanks for the information.? I have made only a few QSOs with the IC7000 on 144 MHz FT8 and none on 432 MHz.? If I decided to return to those bands with FT8/MSK144 etc.? study your information carefully!

Steve G4ALG All Messages By This Member #42691 I recently bought an IC-7000.? During my very first QSO (on QRP 70cm CW) my QSO partner (Chris GU3TUX) noticed frequency jumps at the start of each of my transmissions.? He kindly informed me, and I found the article by Daniel SM6VFZ via a Google search. I also heard the frequency jumps when listening to GU3TUX after a TX-to-RX transition (when I went from TX to RX). ? I inserted a small piece of 10 mm thick medium density foam to fill the gap between the TCXO and the rear heat sink, and which filled the small gap between the side of the fan and the edge of the PCB.? ? No adhesive was needed: only the gentle pressure as the PCB was screwed back into position.? Initial tests in the shack indicate a complete resolution of the drifting/jumping issue.? I am very pleased? :-) Thank you, Daniel SM6VFZ!
