I have a 104 7pin cable due in here this week to hook to the OPC-599 splitter. Amazing for what Icom charges for a PW1 they can't provide a cable for both exciters. On the 7 pin #1 is gnd and #2 is HSEND (goes to ground when sending) On the 13 pin before the split the pins are different. The manual say #2 is ground and # 3 is HSEND.

I only recently performed the TVRO mod and haven't really played with it. I do see the TV output on the external monitor. I also see the blue channel screen when chanching channels. Oddly, the blue channel screen occasionally doesn't appear or only briefly on the external monitor. It works perfectly on the internal screen. My reception is poor and it may be a weak signal sync issue. It was nice to see the attenuator/preamp settings are memorized for each channel. Slick.

I did both the rx mod and mars mod listed on mods.dk these mods can not be used in conjunction with eachother, so be weary of this. I need to know the part number of the diode I clipped for the RX mod so I can order another one..( it is the diode furthest away from the register pair of chips.) I am also looking for someone who is in the central florida area who might know how to install one. My email is MEcker1447@aol.com , I am a licensed ham. Also, ps, does anyone have a CD manual or on-line service manual yet for the IC-7000? ========================================================================== From: "David F.

Here are the results of my QS/S testing of my Icom IC-7000: Where I hear relays, with split set, tuning continuously from 1.8 to 60 mHz, I get relay switching at these cross over points: 01,999.999 02,000.000 03,999.999 04,000.000 07,299.999 07,300.000 14,349.999 14,350.000 21,449.999 21,450.000 29,999,999 30,000.000 59,999,999 60,000.000 Hopefully that provides the hoped for QS/S test results. FWIW, this is with the MARS mod in place, but I suspect the unmodified units perform the same. 73 de Dave, W5SV / AAR6UE ========================================================================== LDG 100Pro Posted by: "ke7au2001" lhdrisk@ivie.com ke7au2001 Date: Tue Jul 11, 2006 9:10 am (PDT) The pin out on the IC-7000 is as follows: The Pin closest to the pointed end of the connector is the "Key" connector and gets connected to the "Tip" end of the Tip/ring/sleeve 3.5 mm connector used on the tuner. The next pin this the "Start" pin and gets connected to the "Ring" of the 3.5 mm connector on the tuner. The next pin is 13.8v from the radio. The pin at the "flat" end of the radio connector is "Ground" and gets connected to the "Sleeve" of the 3.5 mm connector.

The binary controls are connected to binary scan points in the CPU (IC2003). The analogue controls are connected to ADCs embedded in IC2003. Firmware routines running in IC2003 process these inputs. Without the source code, it is not possible to make any determination as to how the controls actually work. And Icom guard their proprietary source code like the Crown Jewels. So I am afraid that we, as users, will have to content ourselves with what the IC-7000's CI-V command set allows us to do.

The LDG cable connects the tuner as well as provides power for the tuner. It works very well and the 7000's TUNEr button works just as it should. Why do you need the pin-outs? Do you not have the LDG cable?

If the 7 kHz filter is selected, the deviation will be +/- 2.5 kHz. There is no "deviation pot" as such.

The deviation seems to be controlled by your filter setting. In menu M1 hit the filter button(F-3) until the the filter setting indicates 15k. That will be your fm setting. 73, Jeff, NJ2F ========================================================================== S-meter Posted by: "Matthew" kk5dr@earthlink.net kaykay5deerrr Date: Tue Jul 11, 2006 7:45 pm (PDT) The S-meter on the 7K is calibrated at 50 microvolts = S-9, just like the 7800 & Pro 3, it is the industry stantard, even if it is not a codified standard. Now, the way in which the S-meter reads on an SSB signal is highly subject to the mdoulation duty cycle, and the type of modulation, and any compression used on the signal being read. ICOM S-meters regarless of analog or digital in nature, are pretty close to the industry norm. 73 de Matt KK5DR www.kk5dr.com --- In ic7000@yahoogroups.com, "Scott Heath" <radio-man1@...> wrote: Yes, my S-meter is a bit stingy as well but it's not really a universal standard anyway. The S-meter's reading is all relative anyway. I own several radios and while the 7000's meter isn't as "generous" as the others. I know that a signal that's S-7 one minute and S-9 the next has simply gained in reception strength. It's all just a relative scale.
