This video documents the SKT-7000 kit from DM5AL. The kit allows the ICOM IC 7000 control head to be removed from the body of the radio and located more conveniently. A flat shielded cat 6 network cable of 12' or so is used along with a RCA male to RCA male shielded cable. The PCB that mounts to the control head has mounting holes for mechanical connection to any kind of mount the end user wishes to use.
I am just a customer who bought the kit and documented the install. Contact support@dm5al.de for prices and information.

Good to know this is available!!! Love my IC7000. I’ve been worried that when I switch cars that my existing separation cable will not be long enough. This seems to solve that worry nicely. Thanks for the video. Good job 👍 W7JZE

Thanks, I did it as a way to clarify what the kit was about. The only negative thing about it is that it's not as secure as the factory cable system. If I were to use it in a car, I'd think of a way to better secure the control head to the PCB. It IS the only game in town and for that, we should all be thankful that DM5AL made the effort that ICOM didn't bother with.

I originally purchased the SKT-7000 kit from DM5AL using the HDMI cable. I went back online to look for the instruction manual again, and noticed he had a revised SKT-7000 kit using the CAT and RCA cable so I inquired. Per DM5AL it seems there were issues with using the HDMI cable, and you needed to have the right one for it to work correctly, hence the new design.

Question: On the Icom 7000 control head when the factory separation cable needs to be removed, two tabs need to be squeezed together in order to released the cable. With the backside cover plate in the DM5AL video that you made above, it looks like that cover plate prevents access to those release tabs. I’m afraid that once installed, this may never come off ??? Or… Maybe this DM5AL cover plate does not fully engage (snap in place) the separation cable hold tabs so the tabs never “snap” onto the DM5AL cover plate allowing removal by just sliding off ??? Maybe ??? Thank you in advance for any clarification about how to REMOVE the DM5AL separation cover plate from the Icom 7000 control head 😊. Bill - W7JZE

Does it have to be Cat6?

@michaelw7053 2 года назад

Depending on length and the amount of HF RF that's floating around. I was the customer that posted the video, not the ham that made the kit. But.... I think the idea behind the shielded cat 6 was just to fight RF issues that may arise. If you are using 100 watts and a resonant antenna with little or no RF in the shack, I'd try a normal cat 5. If you are a mobile configuration I'd make sure to have a handful of clamp on ferrites in case of stray RF issues.... As always, YMMV. 73 K2MPW

Very cool! I looked up his seperation kit that uses an HDMI to mini HDMI cable... that looks more practical! de N6AMF...
