Hi Charles
even when in constant use this wonderful radio still does some strange things which always leads to a reset. it is not alone in this so many of these new radios have this habit which does not help.
Besides this i also own a IC7400 which is nothing like the Ic7000 they are all odd in some way or other. what you do need to do is sit down with one and operate yourself.
besides the icom which comes with two menu levels radio's like the yaesu 897 have three levels of menus which gets even more complex and yes it does need to be reset often.

Subject: [IC-7000] Tutorial for IC-7000 ?

My ham club has an IC-7000, which gets heavy use annually for Field Day. 听 Otherwise, it sits in the Club trailer.

The result:

. . . Nobody _really_ feels comfortable using the menu system.

That includes me -- and I spent years in intimate contact with an IC-706.

I just volunteered to put together a presentation on "Operating the IC-7000" for the next Club meeting.

. . . HELP !!!!

Does anyone have an "IC-7000 Tutorial" available?

We have the "Nifty" manual, and I might base the presentation on that. 听But it's a "cookbook", and that's not quite what I'm looking for.

I will have a video projector and Internet available, and would be able to use YouTube presentations, DVD's, and maybe a video camera, pointed at the front p anel, as I press buttons.

Thanks --

Never had any issues with resets or other strange things that were not explained by environmental causes (such as RF feedback or DC supply issues).听 I've never had to manually reset the radios either (I've got 2 of them - one in the shack, one in the car)

Besides this i also own a IC7400 which is nothing like the Ic7000 they are all odd in some way or other. what you do need to do is sit down with one and operate yourself.

The IC-7000 is a radio best suited to constant use, to keep the operator familiar with the interface of the radio.听 Also good to have the manual handy.听 3 years later and I'm still discovering features I hadn't used. :)听 Once one or two people in the club understand the radio, then you have someone who can drive it for everyone else.

If you ever get one of these made please post it to the group files section. Many of us old time operators would love to have such a resource. 73 de kc4bo

I can add to that,
I am using a PDF version of the user manual and keep it handy on my
computer.
each time I need a certain function I open the file....
