IC7100 A to Z #20 Noise Blanker Operation

[@jackdaniel4325]

Since I own a 7100 your channel probably contains the most useful and valuable information of all the channels I’m subscribed to.

Thanks Jack. I really enjoy your Whiskeys. (I bet you’ve never heard that before. 😁)

[@thork0tjt515]

Thanks Tom! I always find your videos informative. 73

Really appreciate this series. Thanks for doing this.

I have a 7100 in my F250 with coil on plug ignition. I’ve bonded the truck in numerous places and still get the same noise you’re getting. The NB is excellent for hf. I wish they had an equivalent for FM. Weaker repeaters get affected by the same noise.

Thank you Tom very helpful.

Hi Tom, Thank you for sharing your video. Regarding the effect of NB, it would have been better to put you on a free frequency first. Then possibly a QSO to show a possible alteration of the modulation of the station listened to or of its QRI. 73 de Steph F5NZY.

Thanks. Those are good thoughts. There’s always room for a follow up video.

Hey Tom, glad to find you and all the other 7100 users. I’ve had mine for years but am only starting to use it. You A-Z videos have been great help and I am curious if you are done. I’ve either watched or downloaded 20 of them but am curious if they’re are or will be any more. Thanks for al your tips and explanations. it also sounds like you are not too geographically far from me (I’m in Frederick, MD) but from a communications perspective physical distance is irrelevant. So if I have questions I’ll know here to come. 73, Tom KC3QAC

Hi Tom. Thank you for the kind words. Glad to know that you’re starting to use the 7100. It’s a great radio, especially for mobile. For the last couple of years, my videos have been a little more sporadic. I’m hoping “life” will give me a little more room to start putting videos out more frequently. Short answer is, no I’m not done, but I don’t have specific 7100 videos planned out at this time.

@@HamRadioA2Z hey again Tom, I’m now read/listening to your IC 7300 series too because our community is going to star a small club and my 7300 (another only minimally used transceiver) as our club remotely operated HF rig.

[@K1DTC]

Have you done a series specially on how to setup and use the DTAR on the 7100? Perhaps i missed it?

[@HamRadioA2Z]

Hi. I haven’t yet. I did do 3 videos on DSTAR with the IC-705. The setup on that radio is very very similar. The first in the series is here: IC-705 A to Z #6 DSTAR Part 1 - The basics kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2rPlGCbrpJ4ebc

Go to another frequency not being used so we can really hear the difference
