Help, I need to find out how you can tell if an Icom R-7000 is frequency
(c-phone) blocked. Also, do all R-7000 cover the SHF band, ~1000MHz -
20,000MHz? IOW: are all R-7000 the same? Thank you.

No, the older ones (like mine) are not cell-phone blocked, the newer
ones are. The older ones sell at a higher price (even though picking up
digital cell conversations would be tough).
It's simple to check, just try to tune them in and see if they get any
signals.
None of the R-7000's cover past 2000 MHz (unless modified with
something I haven't heard about)
