I have an IC7000 and would like to have a switch from the internal speaker and a headset. Suggestions?

Hi Ed
If I understand your question correctly.
You want to be able to turn off the internal speaker and use a headset (as in headphones).
Well there is a headphone jack on the side of the head ( RHS), when you plug in there the speaker is disabled.?
However if you want to use the microphone as well on a headset, then you would need to?
1. Make sure microphone is compatible with the 7000
2. You would need an interface cable between mic jack and headset.
I have not attempted 2 as yet, but I use the headphone jack to interface to my computer for running a program called Spectran, and it definitely switches of speaker.
Cheers?
Neil

Isn’t there one on the backside of the detachable head. The manual describes its operation Haven't fooled with mine in quite a while. It’s worth checking out. The 706 had something similar.

I meant to include the words “a switch”.

Yes there is a switch on the back of the head. I have not had to use it either. I am sure the manual covers its use.

I believe that the switch on the back of the head (or where ever it lives) changes the output level between speaker and headphone level and does not switch the speaker in and out. It may mute the speaker when there is something plugged in, I think.
There may be another headphone level out provided in the RJ-45 8 pin jack for the mike like Icom had on the IC-7100. Memory fails at this time, however.
