IC-7700
160-6 meters 230 VAC
The ICOM IC-7700 was designed from the start to be the ultimate contest transceiver. It employs the latest technology to give you the competitive edge. Two independent DSP units (of the same type used in the famous IC-7800) are built in: one for the transmitter & receiver and one for the spectrum display. You will enjoy a +40dBm 3rd order intercept point and ultra wide dynamic range. There is an automatic tracking preselector to reject out-of-band interference. The newly designed push-pull MOS-FET amplifiers work with 48VDC, providing a powerful 200W of output power at full duty cycle with low IMD in all bands.
The 18 cm wide color TFT LCD, 800x480 pixel display is dazzling. The rear panel offers a host of I/O connections.
This radio will drop in between the Icom IC-756PROIII, and the Icom IC-7800 and surely worth the wait.Price to follow shortly.
The new IC-7700 is a top-performance HF/6m transceiver closely related to its "bigger brother", the IC-7800. Its main features are:
Two independent DSP units (of the same type used in the IC-7800).
One DSP is dedicated to the transmitter and receiver, and the other to the spectrum scope.
HF/6m transmitter with a MOSFET PA delivering 200W output at full duty cycle.
Quiet, built-in switch-mode mains power supply.
Single HF receiver with I/Q second mixer, offering +40dBm 3rd-order intercept point.
The single receiver should be seen not as a disadvantage, but as a plus.
The single receiver allows no-compromise RX performance at a reasonable price; BNC sockets on the rear panel, and CI-V, allow easy connection and synchronization of a second Icom transceiver such as the 756Pro3 as a secondary receiver.
Many prospective IC-7700 buyers already own an IC-756Pro3. Add the IC-7700 to your existing Pro3 for the perfect contest station; use the IC-7700 as your main transceiver, and the IC-756Pro3 as a spotting receiver.
Upgrade from your IC-765 or IC-775DSP, and get the benefits of a spectrum scope.
Built-in automatic tracking RF preselector.
The built-in tracking preselector, and relay-switched front end, offer unrivalled strong-signal HF performance.
Built-in high-speed automatic antenna tuner.
The tuner covers the HF and 6m bands.
Selectable 15, 6 and 3 kHz roofing filters.
As provided in the IC-7800.
Precision OCXO with ±0.05ppm frequency stability and 10 MHz Reference I/O jack.
The precision OCXO with 10 MHz REF I/O allows the IC-7700 to clock other equipment, or to be clocked from a higher-level master clock source.
7" color TFT LCD display.
The display includes a simulated analogue multi-function meter. Rear-panel VGA socket for external video monitor.
Multi-function spectrum scope with adjustable resolution bandwidth (RBW). The adjustable RBW permits spectral analysis of received signals. IMD products and spurs can be displayed.
Built-in RTTY/PSK31 modem requiring only a USB keyboard.
The built-in RTTY/PSK31 modem allows use of the IC-7700 as a complete digimode terminal, requiring only a keyboard. This is great for semi-portable operation (e.g. Field Day) or when shack space is at a premium.
IF-DSP notch filter with adjustable parameters.
The notch filter shape factor is selectable in 3 steps, and its maximum stopband attenuation is 70 dB.
Multi-function noise blanker implemented in DSP.
Separate, high-performance 6m receiver front end.
Digital voice recorder.
Front -panel USB ports for USB memory drive and keyboard.
