Has anyone done this before on the R7000 that can tell me who has the 
capacitors? I am extremely rural and will have to order them on line.

Floyd, 
These radios are old enough to be suffering from capacitor failures 
especially electrolytic capacitors. Assuming no other obvious cause I'd 
start checking the caps in the RF unit, PLL unit, IF unit, etc.

I have an icom R7000 Receiver that started out with bad sensitivity and now 
it does not hardly receive on any frequency except on local good time radio 
stations just fine. I can dial up my local volunteer fire department VHF 
frequency of 155.865 and receive nothing although a walkie talkie setting 
beside it receives OK. Now I can put a signal generator on 155.865 and put a 
piece of wire on the output and crank the signal up to 100K microvolts and 
receive that just fine. 



Does anyone have any suggestions on what may be wrong and how to fix it?
