MODIFICATION FOR THE ICOM R7000 DISPLAY PROBLEM



PROBLEM ICOM R7000

Radios that are used 24 hours a day for a long time 2 years when shut off the display will become flaky and it is also possible for a lost in overall gain 3 to 40 db.

NOTE

Officially there is ICOM ECO SB# 9288-004, attached below. Unofficially from Tech who repairs R7000 The ECO does help the display problem, but most likely it is not the problem.

SOLUTIONS

Repairing your own radio my void you warranty and only allow a qualified technician to do the job, otherwise damage could happen to your R7000. If the VCO does not track then a major alignment would have to be done after. Check the ICOM IC-R7000 Service Manual for more details before starting this repair, and to make sure I have not made any typeing errors you should get a copy of the ECO from ICOM.

1ST SOLUTION

Replace on the DC to DC Board the following capacitor. Check the noise with an oscilloscope on both sides of R3, if the noise is not way down on one side then replace C2 a 33uf 16V capacitor. Noise feedback can decrees the overall sensitivity of the R7000. Replace on the Display Board C19 and C20 a 10 uf 16VDC capacitor I found that on my R7000 C19 & C20 were the cause of my display problems. They are 10 uF electrolytic capacitors that are lemon yellow pc mounted units, when they go bad the base of the yellow caps change to a brown color. I put in the following ECO first but it did not help. If you look at the service manual you will see that the ECO values are on the schematic but my unit had the old values. I suggest that you check the above first, it is a lot easier to do, C19 / C20 can be done in 10-15 min while the ECO will take about a hour.

2ND SOLUTION THE ECO
