Instruction manual
14). If you wish to change the default SWR setting, turn off the IC-7000.
15). Turn the IC-7000, and place the TC/SC in the Setup mode mode as outlined in steps 1) through 3) above.
16). Select the band and frequency on the IC-7000 for which you wish to set the SWR threshold.
17). Press the TUNER/CALL button on the IC-7000 for at least one second. You’ll hear one Beep. The IC-7000
will transmit on the selected frequency in the RTTY mode at about 25 watts, and the RTTY Shift Width should be
displayed as described in steps 5), 6), and 7) above.
If the IC-7000 does not transmit when you push the TUNER/CALL button, it means you’re in the Stall Current
detection mode. If this occurs, turn off the IC-7000, and repeat step 1 through step 3).
18). Rotate the VFO knob counterclockwise (RTTY Shift Width 170 Hz) or clockwise (RTTY Shift Width 425 Hz),
to retract or extend the antenna (go higher or lower in frequency).
Watch the SWR meter, and when it dips to where you wish to set the threshold (not necessarily its lowest point),
stop the antenna motion by returning the VFO knob to its starting position of 200 Hz, as outlined in steps 8) and 9).
Depending on the band, you may have to jog the VFO knob back and forth several times to get to the desired SWR
threshold.
During the procedure, if you hear two sets of double beeps, that indicates the antenna has stalled at the end of
travel. You should then reverse the antenna motion.
19). Once the desired SWR threshold is met, press the SPCH/LOCK [TUNER/CALL] button for at least one
second. The IC-7000 will stop transmitting, and the SWR threshold will be stored.
The SWR threshold setting procedure may be repeated by choosing another band and frequency. When you’ve
finished, simple turn off the IC-7000.
This completes the Setup of the TC/SC. If the Setup procedure was performed correctly, the TC/SC will give you
years of trouble-free service. If erratic operation does occur, refer to the Operational Hints below.
Resetting to Factory Defaults
If you wish to return the TC/SC to its as-shipped, factory-default settings, here’s how to do it. However, doing so
will require you to go through the complete Setup procedure, from start to finish. If you do not, correct operation
will not be possible.
To reset the TC/SC to factory default, turn off the IC-7000. Press and hold the Reset button on the TUNE
CONTROL. If your IC-7000 is remotely mounted, this may require help.
Next, turn on the IC-7000, and release the Reset button. If the operation was successful, you will hear two beeps.
Normal operation may started immediately without turning off the IC-7000. Please remember, resetting the TC/SC
to Factory Default condition means you will need to reprogram the TC/SC in order to use it.
