Thanks for answer Bill,

The attenuator is correctly off, but I've no preamplifier in the R7000.

Make sure the attenuator is off, and the preamp is on. (as I recall)

Hi group.

I've recently baught a second hand IC-R7000. It seems it's a good receiver
but I've some questions someone may answer :

- I'm comparing the R7000 signal strengh with my FT-736 transceiver and I
can notice that a signal at 9+20 on the FT736 is receiver at 5 or 6 with
my
R7000. However, the weak signal received 0 on my FT-736 is received 0 with
the R7000. Could it be a sensitivity issue (DC-DC power supply) or just a
S-meter calibration matter ?

- I'm looking for CAT software for R7000 allowing to scan and
automatically
save sound files when there is a busy channel ?

- I've noticed a lot of birdies especially above 1Ghz. Is it a know issue
for this receiver ?

- Finally I would be very interrested by your experience on receiving
satellites : Inmarsat, Meteosat, Goes, .... I'd like to build antennas and
preamplifiers. Please let me know if you know good devices to build and
improve performances...
