Icom 7000 Starts in TX mode

[gberges]

Regardless of which band or mode chosen in the band selected, with antenna and/or microphone and/or earphones connected or not, powered by 12v battery, when I turn on my 7000, the red TX light is always on. When last I turned it off, it was working well. All I did was move it to a different location. Any ideas, troubleshooting tips or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Gus, NU4L.

check for switch on front of radio that puts radio in transmit mode.

Maybe a factory reset may take care of the issue if nothing else works. you should be able to look the procedure up in your manual.

Is it hooked up to a PC by chance? Did you check to see if the Tune button is stuck in?

Icom company needs a spanking Im thinking. I hope its something simple and not serious like alot of the other rigs Ive read about. :w00t:
