Just bought an IC7000 and am new to the group. I'll be using it mainly for POTA work, using an 40-10 endfed antenna. Do I need a tuner? If so, and there isn't an AT-180 available, what should I look for? Thanks, Pete K2UPD

Can someone help me program the CW keyer memories, M1-4? I can't make head or tail of the manual. I can't find anything in the files or FAQ. Thanks! Pete K2UPD

Hi all, Apologies if you’ve already seen this post on Facebook. I’ve just mounted my IC7000 using a DM5AL separation kit in my car and was planning on removing the head unit between use, just wondering if this is ok or might cause issues? I’ve noticed that the retaining clip that pulls back on the head unit has got scratched a hit it the post on the DM5AL mount and wondering if this might cause issues longer term, also wondering about wear on the spring pins pins in the head unit, just wondering if these parts or any others are likely to break and if so if they are replaceable with parts available! (P.s Ive read that the base unit needs unplugging from power when the head unit is attached/detatched so I’ll fit a switch in the power cable) Thanks James

The inexpensive D7DDC design ATU-100 100 watt autuners advertized on Ebay and Amazon work great. $73 fully assembled: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134226040446 $30 kit, no enclosure: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154835157861 These can be modified to connect to the 4 pin Icom TUNER port. Operate from your transceiver TUNER button: Solder a 560 ohm resistor to via "A6" on tuner. Connect to Icom TUNER pin 1 (_KEY). Solder a 560 ohm resistor to "B" header on tuner. Connect to Icom TUNER pin 2 (_START). Connect "+" header pin on tuner to Icom TUNER pin 3 (+12v). Connect "-" header pin on tuner to Icom TUNER pin 4 (GND). The current limiting resistors protect the tuner micro I/O pins from an accidental connection to +12 volts or ground. Recommend strapping 100pF capacitors to ground on these pins to keep out stray RF. Wnen the Icom transceiver senses 2 volts or more on _KEY when _START goes low, the Icom transceiver automatically limits power to 10 watts while tuning (when _KEY is then driven low by the tuner). On other transceivers, the operator mustmanually limit power to 10 watts while tuning, to protect the tuner's relay contacts.

A replacement HM-151 microphone for the Icom IC-7000 and IC-7100 transceiver is expensive https://www.ebay.com/itm/394089362001 A less expensive replacement is a clone of the HM-133 microphone https://www.ebay.com/itm/234052502450 The buttons on the HM-133 are recognized by the IC-7000, but the button legends are different (see image). If you can scavenge the silicone rubber button button legends from the old HM-151, it will fit in the HM-133 shell.

I recently purchased a used IC-7000 that did not come with a Mic. I bought a no-name one on Amazon and it had very low audio levels, I can hardly get the ALC to budge unless I drop plosives into the mic. Thinking it was just a dogy mic I bought a genuine Icom HM-151 off of eBay and it seems to have the same issue. It helps if I turn the mic gain up to 100% of course but that doesn't seem to be the right way to use this rig. My question is - is this normal behavior for this radio or did I get a broken rig? Appreciate any knowledge and guidance this group can provide.
