iiRWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emitsRadio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should beobserved when operating this device. If you have anyquestions regarding RF exposure and safety standardsplease refer to the Federal Communications CommissionOffice of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evalu-ating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human RadioFrequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER attach anantenna or internal antenna connector during transmis-sion. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.RNEVER apply AC to the [DC13.8V] socket on thetransceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damagethe transceiver.RNEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 Vbattery, to the [DC13.8V] jack on the transceiver rearpanel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any in-ternal part or connectors on the rear panel of the trans-ceiver. This may result in an electric shock.RNEVER connect or use the HM-151 (microphone)with other transceiver. This could cause damage to thetransceiver. The HM-151 is designed for use with the IC-7000 ONLYNEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liq-uids.AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with tem-peratures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).Be aware that temperatures on a vehicle’s dashboard canexceed +80°C (+176°F), resulting in permanent damageto the transceiver if left there for extended periods.AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-ronments or in direct sunlight.AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or puttinganything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heatdissipation.Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use bychildren.During mobile operation, NEVER place the transceiverwhere air bag deployment may be obstructed.During mobile operation, DO NOT place the transceiverwhere hot or cold air blows directly onto it.During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiverwithout running the vehicle’s engine. When the trans-ceiver’s power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF,the vehicle’s battery will soon become exhausted.Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before startingthe vehicle. This will avoid possible damage to the trans-ceiver by ignition voltage spikes.During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiverand microphone as far away as possible from the mag-netic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indica-tions.BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when op-erating the transceiver continuously for long periods.BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set thetransceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear am-plifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear ampli-fier will be damaged.Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Othermanufacturer’s microphones have different pin assign-ments, and connection to the IC-7000 may damage thetransceiver.Beat signals may be heard on some frequencies.These will occur as a result of circuit construction.For U.S.A. onlyCaution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void yourauthority to operate this transceiver under FCC regu-lations.PRECAUTIONS

215INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS■UnpackingAfter unpacking, immediately report any damage to thedelivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.For a description and a diagram of accessory equip-ment included with the IC-7000, see ‘Supplied acces-sories’ on p. i-1 of this manual.■Selecting a locationSelect a location for the transceiver that allows ade-quate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, orvibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna ele-ments, radios and other electromagnetic sources.The base of the transceiver has an adjustable standfor desktop use. Set the stand to one of two angles de-pending on your operating conditions. (see descriptionon right hand page)■GroundingTo prevent electrical shock, television interference(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-lems, ground the transceiver through the GROUNDterminal on the rear panel.For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strapto a long, buried copper rod. Make the distance be-tween the [GND] terminal and ground as short as pos-sible.RWARNING: NEVER connect the [GND] ter-minal to a gas pipe or electric conduit, since theconnection could cause an explosion or electricshock.■Antenna connectionFor radio communications the antenna is of critical im-portance for output power and sensitivity. Use well-matched 50-ohm antennas and coaxial feedline. AnSWR (standing wave radio) of 1.5:1 or lower is recom-mended when transmitting.CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightningby using a lightning arrestor.ANTENNA SWREach antenna is tuned for a specified frequencyrange and SWR increases outside that range. Whenthe SWR is higher than approx. 2.0 : 1, the trans-ceiver’s power drops to protect the final transistors.In this case, an antenna tuner is used to match thetransceiver and antenna. Low SWR allows full powerfor transmitting even when using the antenna tuner.The IC-7000 has an SWR meter to monitor the an-tenna SWR continuously.30 mm10 mm (soft solder)10 mm1–2 mmsolder solderSoftsolderCoupling ringPL-259 CONNECTOR INSTALLATION EXAMPLEqerwSlide the coupling ring down.

DDifferences between VFO and memory modeVFO MODEEach VFO shows a frequency and operating mode. Ifthe frequency or operating mode is changed, the VFOautomatically memorizes the new frequency or oper-ating mode.When VFO settings are changed with frequency andmode from another VFO or memory mode, the last-used frequency and operating mode for that VFO ap-pear.[EXAMPLE]MEMORYMODE(pgs. 102–110)Each memory channel shows a frequency and oper-ating mode like a VFO. Even if the frequency or modeis changed, the memory channel does not memorizethe new frequency or operating mode.When a memory channel is changed with frquencyand mode from another memory channel or VFOmode, the memorized frequency and operating modeappear.[EXAMPLE]263BASIC OPERATION3VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscilla-tor, and traditionally refers to an oscillator. The IC-7000 VFO is somewhat different. The VFO dis-play of the IC-7000 acts like a computer’s window andcan show one frequency and one operating mode.You can call up a desired frequency to the VFO withthe memo pad-read key (p. 112) or the memory trans-fer function (p. 109). You can also change the fre-quency with [DIAL] and select an operating mode with[MODE] key or call up previously accessed frequencyand modes with the band stacking register (p. 28).The IC-7000 has two VFOs, specially suited for splitfrequency operation. The VFOs are called VFO A andVFO B. You can use the desired VFO to call up a fre-quency and operating mode for operation.VFOMODEKEYSelectMEMORYCHANNELDIALMEMO PAD28.025 MHz7.001 MHz21.295 MHzBANDChangeTransferTransfer TransferChanged frequency (14.123 MHz) does not appear and memorized frequency (14.100 MHz) appears instead.Memory channel 1 isselected.The frequency is changed.Memory channel 1 isselected again.Another memory channelis selected.VFO is selected.The frequency is changed.VFO is selected again.Changed frequency (14.123 MHz) appears.Memory mode is selected.■VFO description

283BASIC OPERATION3The triple band stacking register provides 3 memoriesin one band. 3 sets of frequency and operating modeon each band are automatically stored when used.If a band key (on the HM-151) is pushed once, the lastused frequency and operating mode are called up.When the key is pushed again, another stored fre-quency and operating mode are called up.This function is convenient when you operate 3 oper-ating modes on one band. For example, one registeris used for a CW frequency, another for an SSB fre-quency and the other one for an RTTY frequency.See the table below for a list of the bands availableand the default settings for each band.SPCH /LOCKTUNER /CALL XFCV/MF-1 F-2FILMODEGENEMW123456789.0CEF-INPENT1.8 3.5 710 14 1821 24 2850 144 430Band keysHM-151■Selecting an operating bandBAND REGISTER 1 REGISTER 2 REGISTER 31.8 MHz 1.900000 MHz CW 1.910000 MHz CW 1.915000 MHz CW3.5 MHz 3.550000 MHz LSB 3.560000 MHz LSB 3.580000 MHz LSB7 MHz 7.050000 MHz LSB 7.060000 MHz LSB 7.020000 MHz CW10 MHz 10.120000 MHz CW 10.130000 MHz CW 10.140000 MHz CW14 MHz 14.100000 MHz USB 14.200000 MHz USB 14.050000 MHz CW18 MHz 18.100000 MHz USB 18.130000 MHz USB 18.150000 MHz USB21 MHz 21.200000 MHz USB 21.300000 MHz USB 21.050000 MHz CW24 MHz 24.950000 MHz USB 24.980000 MHz USB 24.900000 MHz CW28 MHz 28.500000 MHz USB 29.500000 MHz USB 28.100000 MHz CW50 MHz 50.100000 MHz USB 50.200000 MHz USB 51.000000 MHz FM144 MHz 145.000000 MHz FM 145.100000 MHz FM 145.200000 MHz FM430 MHz 433.000000 MHz FM 433.100000 MHz FM 433.200000 MHz FMGeneral 15.000000 MHz USB 15.100000 MHz USB 15.200000 MHz USBqPush [(14)5], then select a frequency and an oper-ating mode.•Frequency and operating mode are memorized in thefirst band stacking register.wPush [(14)5] again, then select another frequencyand operating mode.•This frequency and operating mode are memorized inthe second band stacking register.ePush [(14)5] again, then select another frequencyand operating mode.•This frequency and operating mode are memorized inthe third band stacking register.•When a fourth frequency and operating mode are se-lected on a band, the first register set in step q, is overwritten.SPCH /LOCKTUNER /CALL XFCV/MF-1 F-2FILMODEGENEMW123456789.0CEF-INPENT1.8 3.5 710 14 1821 24 2850 144 430FILMODEGENE123456789.0CEF-INPENT1.8 3.5 710 14 1821 24 2850 144 430[Example]: 14 MHz bandHM-151DUsing the band stacking registers

10116ANTENNA TUNER OPERATIONThe AT-180 automatic antenna tuner matches the IC-7000 to the connected antenna automatically. Once thetuner matches an antenna, the variable capacitor anglesare memorized as a preset point for each frequencyrange (100 kHz steps). Therefore, when you change thefrequency range, the variable capacitors are automati-cally preset to the memorized point.NOTE:•The AT-180 can match both HF and 50 MHzbands. However, operation is different for the HFand 50 MHz bands.• When connecting the AT-180, the IC-7000’s outputpower must be set over the 10 W. Otherwise, theAT-180 may not be tuned correctly. (AT-180’s min-imum operating input power is 8 W.)[TUNER/CALL]The AT-180 cannot be used for the 144/430 MHzbands. When operating on the 144/430 MHz band,pushing [TUNER/CALL] selects the call channel(p. 102).CAUTION: NEVER transmit with the tuner ONwhen no antenna is connected. This will damageboth the transceiver and antenna tuner.■Optional AT-180 AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNERoperationDTuner operation• For the HF band:Push [TUNER/CALL] to turn the tuner ON. The an-tenna is tuned automatically during transmissionwhen the antenna SWR is higher than 1.5:1.• When the tuner is ON, “ ” indication appears.• For the 50 MHz band:Push [TUNER/CALL] for 1 sec. to tune the antenna.If “”indicator blinks slowly while transmitting,push and hold [TUNER/CALL] for 1 sec. again to re-tune the antenna.DManual tuningDuring SSB operation on HF bands at low voice lev-els, the AT-180 may not be tuned correctly. In suchcases, manual tuning is helpful.Push [TUNER/CALL] for 2 sec. to start manual tun-ing.•CW mode is selected, a side tone is emitted, and “”indicator blinks; then, the previous mode is selected.If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1after 20 sec. of tuning, “”indicator disappears.In this case, check the following:• the antenna connection and feedline• the antenna SWR (p. 36; meter function)Through inhibit (HF bands only)The AT-180 has a through inhibit condition. When se-lecting this condition, the tuner can be used at poorSWR’s. In this case, automatic tuning in the HF bandsactivates only when exceeding SWR 3:1. Therefore,manual tuning is necessary each time you change thefrequency. Although termed “through inhibit,” the tunerwill be “through” if the SWR is higher than 3:1 aftertuning.• Tuner sensitive condition (HF bands only)If you require critical tuning at any time during trans-mission, select the tuner sensitive condition. Seep. 133 for selection.• Automatic tuner start (HF bands only)If you want to turn OFF the tuner under conditions ofVSWR 1.5:1 or less, use “automatic tuner on” andturn the tuner OFF.
