There's a relay for each band-specific output filter, and the contacts get dirty. Occasionally the relay just plain fails, but that's unusual.

Sometimes you can get the cover off a relay without removing the relay from the PC board, and clean the contacts with a piece of 1200 grit or 2000 grit paper, which can be bought at places like English Color that sell to body shops. Can't get any? You can sometimes clean relay contacts with just a little strip of paper such as you'd use in a laser printer.

I like my IC-7000 (and my IC-R7000 too, totally different item).

Cheers!
