connecting external monitor


 

开云体育

Hi all,
I'm hoping to connect a small external monitor (6" or 7").
It looks like the 3.5mm female plug on the back of the 7000 would feed to a typical yellow RCA plug.
I saw this box which looks like it would do the trick, since I did not find an adapter online.


If you're using a different type of hookup please email me.

On a separate note, it appears the shield for the 60m diode mod to open up the band is securely fastened to the board.
Does anyone know if there is a trick or workaround to removing it to get to the SMT diode to remove it?
At this point I'm afraid to proceed for fear of cracking the traces if the board bends too far.

Darrell:

I just use a cable with a standard 1/8 inch male plug to RCA male plug between the?radio and monitor.? Never had a problem.

This assumes Darrell has or has access to a monitor that has the YELLOW composite video jack...? Without one of those, he would need the device to convert Composite Video to HDMI or VGA...

That should work, Assuming the monitor you are connecting?to does not have a Analog Composite input jack (Generally a yellow RCA jack.)? another alternative, if looking at small monitors, is to use an automotive backup camera monitor.
Here's an example?Amazon search. This has the advantage of running off your 12 volt?powersupply.

The device listed at amazon here will NOT work. It requires a VGA input. Right there in the description...

VGA To RCA Adapter

As others have already mentioned, a TV with a composite input is the simplest solution, otherwise you'll need a converter from Composite to whatever your monitor has for inputs.

For example, Composite to VGA...

Just know there is two different video standards used in the 7k NTSC for the US version and PAL in UK/OZ version?

My car has already monitor for iCar or GoogleCar etc... is there a way to connect to it?


 

Connecting to an existing in car monitor is probably a hands on research project.
Really to broad of a question to answer here.

You would need for the monitor to have a composite video signal jack available that is?
compatible with your IC-7000 composite output.
NTSC for US/Canada, PAL for Europe for examples,

If it is a factory installed backup camera, you're probably out of luck.
If it is an aftermarket system, there could be an option for a secondary input.??
Check your manual for the device, or dig into the dash are options.
Third option is to consult an shop that does entertainment systems for automobiles.

Just be aware..going much larger than 7" and the resolution will be unacceptable. I connected to a standard 15" and it looks pretty blocky.

Looks great with a small (7-10 inch) TV sets such
as those from Sharper Image and others (what I
use with my go-box) DC?operated and uses?the?
same?power source as your radio.? I have a?USB
?charging port as well on a power pole strip?fo

This thread has got me thinking.
I have a 5" display currently?but I am going to try a composite/usb capture device?
to route the ic-7000 display?to a window on the PC and see how that looks.??

May be able to run the display in one window and RS-BA1 or WFView in another.??
Not a? modern waterfall display, but at least as colorful!??

Amazon trucks are lining up outside my?door.
