Hello all. I setup my Icom IC-7000 for portable operation with a DigiRig for FT4 and FT8 operation while camping. Regardless of my power settings I keep getting an error message and after the initial broadcast, it stops transmitting. I’m using the correct cables, which I bought when I bought my DigiRig. I’ll paste the message below and perhaps someone can help me.
ONE MORE NOTE: When i bought the cables for my DigiRig, I did not see cables listed for the IC7000, so i bought the cables for the IC706. Could this be a part of the problem? Also since this radio is older, I’ve not been able to find any help with the settings in the radio itself.
