Have made a couple of contacts with a reportedly good signal and audio so am back on the air. my problem appears to have cleared up after I did a hard reset of the transceiver. You may want to make sure the of the transmit frequency, which may be different from the receive frequency. You want to push the PTT button to transmit. Not likely if your description is totally accurate, but since it doesn't work. That last line should have read "Thanks so much for your intrest in helping me with this problem." /Jack ( Ke5tkz) sorry about the slip up. Thanks so much for your inyredt in hrlping me with this problem. If you have any other suggestions, i will try them also. Am getting ahold of a watt meter and dummy load tomorrow afternoon so will try and isolate the transceiver, tuner, feedline and antenna and look for a problem in the chain of items. I am using the icom hand mike thst came with the radio and I have also substituted an Sm-20 icom desk mike with no difference in outcome. Microphones are like camera lenses in that you can't necessarily swap Nikon and Canon SLR lenses even though the mounts are the same. It sounds like the microphone may not be be properly wired for the IC-718. Once you have the bottom of the radio removed the circuit board is accessible.
ICOM 718 HAM RADIO OUTLET MANUAL
The IC-718 manual gives clear instructions for the installation.
I installed this option into an Icom IC-718 transceiver. There is very little information on this option so I thought I would share.
ICOM 718 HAM RADIO OUTLET UPGRADE
Super Moderator Joined: Apr 4th 1998, 00:00 Icom CR338 TCXO Upgrade Time Owned: 0 to 3 months. I monitored my lack of output power while trying a few CQ calls. I do have the mic gain up to 80 and the icom set to 95 watts. Remember that in SSB mode there is no output power until you speak into the microphone and the microphone gain is adjusted properly. Do I possibly have a problem with my finals? I would appreciate any help diagnosing this problem. I changed feedline to rg213 but that changed nothing. Windows contest logging software with multiple functions like antenna rotor control, dx cluster, cat control, voice and cw keying, supports many data modes, qrz lookup, pirint qsl and labels, mapping and more.
Resetting to ssb with 100 watts output selected i transmit but show 3 or less watts of power output and a reflected value of less than one watt. Download Kenwood's free radio control software for the TS-570 HF. when tuning on ritty mode, i show 118 watts with no swr and no reflrcted power. I tune a new g5rv jr with a mfj 993-b tuner. My ic718 does not transmit with more than 2 to 3 watts.
