External keypad connections

Connect an external keypad to the MIC connector to
control the keyer memory (M1 to M4), RTTY memory
(RT1 to RT4) or TX voice memory (T1 to T4).
You can send a memory keyer, RTTY memory or voice
memory without selecting the screen of the CW memo-
ry, RTTY memory or voice memory.
When using a external keypad, set the "External Key-
pad" item of the "Connectors" Set mode, as described
below:
• For the CW memory keyer, set the "KEYER" item to
ON.
• For the RTTY memory, set the "RTTY" item to ON.
• For the TX voice memory, set the "VOICE" item to
ON.
An external keypad should be purchased separate-
ly.

Band voltage modification

The transceiver does not output the band voltage from
the [ACC] socket by default because there is no option
that the band voltage is required.
The band voltage is output from pin 5 of the [ACC]
socket after bridging the solder pad, as shown to the
right.
Or, you can output the band voltage by making the fol-
lowing band voltage generator circuit.
The following band voltage table is for reference only.
Please adjust and check with the actual operating re-
sults.

Questions and answers

IC-7100 is two months old. Power suddenly cut off. Fuses are OK. No obvious damage internally. Can something with the control head cause unit not to power up?

Yes, a control head issue can cause the Icom IC-7100 to not power up. The control head receives power through the extension cable with shielded RJ45 connectors. If there is high resistance in the power wires or a poor connection in the umbilical cable, it may prevent the control head from receiving enough power to function properly. Reseating both connectors may help resolve the issue.

re ICOM 7100. Digital mode operations leave the mike path inoperable. What protocols are required on the DV USB computer/transceiver cable? Transceiver control head display shows USB-D when the intent is USB.
