Semi Automatic Controller
for the Icom IC-7000
This EZ-Tune Controller was specifically designed for the new Icom IC7000. It plugs into 13 pin din jack on the back of the transceiver. Because of the firmware inside the IC-7000, it does not have a functioning SWR meter when the transceiver is in the tune mode. Yes, that is hard to believe. But it is true.
That is very different from other Icom transceivers. In order for the transceiver to indicate an SWR, it cannot be in the tune mode. Using the i-Box 7000, power for the motor comes from the transceiver. No external power supply needed. To tune, change the mode to AM so that the SWR meter will function. Press the rocker switch on the control box. When the switch is rocked the transceiver is made to transmit. When the SWR drops down, you let go of the switch. Typically, the antenna is tuned in just a matter of seconds.
We make the box for the controller right here at High Sierra. The aluminum box is powder coated black and is approximately 2 inches by 2 inches by 1.5 inches. The light comes on when the antenna is fully retracted or fully extended. We call it our "end of travel light." It's almost magic! We even put up/down arrows on the rocker switch.
The i-Box 7000 only works with antennas with the with the Sidekick and HS-1800/Pro Antennas. Those antennas have the Black Hawk Motor. Other brands, copies of our antennas and older version High Sierra Antennas do not work with the i-Box 7000. Please don't call to complain, it won't work with other brands.
The price is $110. When you purchase an antenna, Mobile Package Deal or Home Package Deal, you can pick the i-Box controller when you order by using the Product Options box at the bottom of the page. It adds just $50 to the price.
