Audio issue with internal speaker
Hi all,
My IC7000 seems to be suffering a somewhat intermittent issue with the internal speaker. When I powered it up yesterday the internal speaker wasn't working, after using an external speaker and fiddling around a bit it started working, then again when I switched it on this morning the same happened. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what the issue was? I'm using one of the aftermarket separation kits, not sure if that could be part of the issue? Many Thanks, James G5JIM / W5JIM |

I had to replace the speaker/phones jacks on mine.?
These things are pretty "cheesy" and if you use the speaker / phones jacks they get where they are intermittent in connecting the speaker and need a little wiggle to get to connect. The internal speaker disconnect is a little better, but these things are getting pretty old these days. I have had three and ended up selling them while they are still working well, but I still miss the IC-7000 because they are just so PRETTY! When I regret selling I look at the repair bench at the IFR 1200 Super S and remember that the sale financed it. |
开云体育Internal speaker audio is looped through the external speaker jack. It’s very possible for the jack to cause a loss of internal speaker audio. Worse yet, it can tear off the circuit board. The repair or replacement is not a trivial undertaking. ? Thank You ? Paul W. Hansen, W6XA Amateur Radio Service 2134 Carthage Road Tucker, GA 30084 (864) 222-3539 www.amateurradioservice.com ?
