Upconverter for R7000 ???

[JohnBreen]

Hi,

Has anybody tried to use an upconverter with an R7000?

We are using the :Ham it up" upconverter between the antenna and the TV dongle with great success BUT that is a "hack" that employs a "just barely" radio receiver. The R7000 has so much more as a receiver so I wondered if the "Ham it up" or any other upconverter has been used with a R7000 or R7100 or......

I connected the HF Ham it up converter and dongle to an Icom IC-R7000′s IF output after blocking the 9v DC out from the IF Out and it worked quite well as a pan adapter, my Icom also has an HF module installed so I can use it from dc to light. Next I will try it with my Ten-Tec Jupiter after I add the IF output to the Jupiter as there is no IF out as standard.
The IF freq out of the Icom was 10.7MHz so I tuned the Ham it up and Dongle to rx that frequency with SDR# and left it there, and tuned the Icom. Bingo instant pan adapter!!

Im looking for a up converter for the R-7000. There use to be a company that made one.
I wonder if anyone is making one that will work so I can use the R-7000 on HF too.
