IF DSP
— First in its class
Digital IF filter, manual notch filter, digital twin PBT and more.
The latest digital features are incorporated in this compact radio from
two DSP chips that deliver superior processing performance. Of course,
those features work on all ham bands, from HF to the 70cm band.
AGC loop performance controlled by DSP
You
will never experience AGC pumping from a signal filtered out by the DSP
system. The digital IF filter and manual notch filter are inside the AGC
loop, so you will not encounter AGC blocking. The AGC time constants are
flexibly adjustable from slow, middle, fast (or AGC-off) for each
operating mode.
Digital
IF filters
All the filters you want at your fingertips! You will never have to
purchase "Optional" filters as the IC-7000 has adjustable
digital filters. You just dial in the width you want and select whether
you want a sharp or soft filter shape for SSB and CW modes. Then to
pull-in the the weak ones, with a quick turn of the concentric twin PBT
knobs, you can either narrow the IF passband, or shift the entire
passband to eliminate the QRM.
2-point MNF (Manual notch filter)
Pull
out the weak signals in crowded band conditions with Icom's NEW
two-point MNF (manual notch filter). Apply 70 dB of rejection to two
signals at once! Notch width is adjustable-wide, medium, and narrow -
and an auto-tuning notch filter is available, too.
Digital noise reduction
Noise reduction reduces background noise and improves signal-to-noise
ratio. The noise reduction level is adjustable in 16 steps. It improves
the readability of voice and data signals.
Digital noise blanker
The noise blanker reduces pulse-type noise such as engine ignition
and sparking. The NB level and width (blanking duration) are adjustable
in 100 steps.
35W
output in 70cm band
High power MOS-FET amps supply 35W output power on 430/440MHz band as
well as 100W on HF/50MHz bands and 50W on 144MHz. It provides stable,
high quality output with low IMD and low spurious emissions even during
high duty cycle and extended operation.
High stability crystal unit
The IC-7000 incorporates a high-stability master oscillator,
providing 0.5ppm (-0°C to +50°C). A must for data mode operation.
DDS
(Direct digital synthesizer) circuit
Icom's original DDS (Direct digital synthesizer) circuit improves the
C/N ratio, providing a clear, clean transmit signal in all bands.
Compact, all in one package
The IC-7000 sheds 20mm (25/32 in) of depth
compared with the IC-706MKIIG.
Its compact body is easy for carrying outdoors or mobile operation.
User-friendly key allocation
Eight of the most-used radio functions such as NB, NR, MNF, and ANF
are controlled by dedicated function keys grouped around the display for
easy visibility. One quick touch turns the function on and off. A longer
touch activates adjustment of the function-s setting.
Digital voice recorder (DVR)
Record
your callsign, CQ, or other information in 4 transmit playback memories
with alphanumeric labels. A total of 90 seconds is available for the
four memories. A front panel REC control allows you to record incoming
signals for up to 25 minutes (99 channels)*.
The DVR makes portable contesting or mini-expeditions a breeze!
* Up to 120 seconds per channel
Built-in RTTY demodulator
The
RTTY demodulator and decoder are built-in. External units and PC are no
longer required for decoding. The twin peak audio filter reduces
interfering signals overlapping the tones and the tuning indicator helps
you zero-in with accurate tuning.
Remote control microphone, HM-151
The HM-151 has a 10-keypad for quick channel selection. The triple
band tacking register memorizes the last three frequencies and modes
used on each band. Push the band button once to three times to recall
the channel setting. The F-1 and F-2 buttons are programmable as
shortcut menus of your often used functions.
2.5 inch color TFT display
The 2.5 inch color TFT display presents numbers and indicators in
bright, concentrated colors for easy recognition. You can choose from 3
background colors and 2 font styles to suit your preference, in addition
to a large operating frequency readout. And more, the Video output jack
on the rear panel allows you to view a magnified display on an external
monitor*.
* 3.5(d) mm monaural cable is required for
connection.
SSB transmit bandwidth adjustable
The SSB transmit bandwidth is selectable from 100, 200, 300, 500Hz at
the high-pass edge, and 2500, 2700, 2800, 2900Hz at the low-pass edge
respectively. 3 types of high and low combinations can be set in the
quick set mode.
2-mode band scope
The
band scope function lets you watch conditions around the band and
visually assists in finding other stations. In center mode the band
scope range is centered on the receiving frequency (±10kHz to ±250kHz).
In Fixed mode the band scope sweeps a fixed range.
Multi function meter and SWR graphic display
The
IC-7000 displays power level, SWR, ALC and compression level of the
speech compressor. The SWR graphic display is useful for tuning
antennas. The measuring step is selectable from 10/50/100/500kHz steps
and the number of measuring steps is adjustable from 3 to 13 steps.
