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 &endash; wide, medium, and narrow &endash; and an auto-tuning notch filter is available, too.

IC-7800

 

$10,999.95 Includes 15KHZ, 6KHZ and 3KHZ Roofing Filters! NEW IC-7700 $6999.95

+40dBm IP3 (3rd order Intercept Point)

Icom's 40 years of analog RF circuit experience combined with cutting edge digital technology results in an astonishing 110dB receiver dynamic range and a +40dBm IP3 in the HF bands. A first in Ham radio! To achieve this superior receiver performance, Icom's engineering team completely reviewed the whole analog circuit and matched it to the DSP units. This allowed us to explore new technical dimensions such as a double conversion super-heterodyne system, mechanical relay BPF switching and two roofing filters.

Mechanical relay BPF (Band Pass Filter) switching and two roofing filters

The IC-7800 uses highly reliable and durable mechanical relays for BPF switching instead of non-linear semi-conductors which cause distortion. The mechanical relay prevents 2nd order distortion at the primary stage of signal processing. The IC-7800 has two roofing filters before the 1st IF amplifier stage. One is 15kHz fileter for FM mode and the other is 6kHz filter for SSB, CW, AM and data modes. The IC-7800 switches between these two roofing filters depending on operating mode. Typically, transceivers use only one broad 15kHz roofing filter for all modes. This is not an optimal design for SSB, CW, or AM modes. The two roofing filters dramatically improve the blocking characteristics from strong adjacent signals.

Automatic tracking pre-selector

The pre-selector works from 1.5MHz to 30MHz. The preselector automatically tracks the intended signal, keeping the pre-selector?fs bandwidth centered on the operating frequency at several kHz steps (minimum). The preselector rejects unwanted out of band interference from multi-multi operation or strong broadcast stations, as your first line of defense against interfering signals. The center frequency of the pre-selector is adjustable from the DIGI-SEL tuning knob on the front panel.

Double conversion super-heterodyne system

While mixers often become a cause of signal distortion and spurious emissions, the IC-7800 utilizes a double conversion super-heterodyne system using a newly developed image rejection mixer. A high performance D-MOS FET array for the 1st mixer stage is infused with a signal from the high-level C/N, high-drive Local Oscillator from the PLL unit. This new mixer reduces signal distortion through IF processing and provides a high-fidelity signal to the DSP unit.

AGC Volume knob for fine tuning

In addition to the preset AGC time constants (slow, medium and fast), the manual AGC volume provides flexible detailed AGC tuning.

Two completely independent receiver circuits

The ultimate dual receiver performance is at your control; the receivers are completely independent all the way from the 4 antenna jacks, through the pre-selectors, DSP, signal detectors, front panel control, and right into the stereo headphone! The dual receiver allows you to receive two different bands simultaneously in different modes, with each receiver not causing any adverse affect to the other one. This true dual receiver takes your band hopping and contesting experience to the next level.

Digital IF filter

The digital IF filter has superior filtering performance and a distinguished shaping factor that demonstrates the power of 32-bit floating point DSP. The digital filter is completely free from deterioration due to deviations in band characteristics, temperature change, or mechanical vibration, all of which have likely been seen with analog filters. The digital IF filter also provides excellent ripple characteristics and clean cut that have never been available with analog filters. The filter shape is selectable from soft and sharp, depending on the purpose, operating band, band conditions, etc. It is also possible to set CW and SSB filter characteristics independently, and also select the filter shape while actually receiving a signal.

Manual notch filter with adjustable notch filter characteristics

The IC-7800's manual notch filter shape can be set in 3- steps for the various receiving conditions. The manual notch filter has extremely sharp characteristics for processing in the DSP and provides tremendous performance for attenuation levels of more than 70dB in all shapes. The DSP-based manual notch provides stable performance and completely shuts off undesired beat signals without affecting AGC gain. In addition, an automatic notch filter tracks and wipes off the beat signal and RTTY interference.

Four 32-bit floating point DSP units and 24-bit AD/DA converters

The IC-7800 uses four pairs of 32-bit floating point DSP units and 24-bit AD/DA converters. One for the transmitter, one for each receiver, and the final one for the spectrum scope. The DSP units deliver the phenomenal performance of the digital signal processing. A powerful combination born of Icom?fs analog RF technology and experience.

200W output power at full duty cycle

The newly designed push-pull power MOS-FET amplifiers work with 48V DC and provide a powerful 200W of output power at full duty cycle with low IMD in all bands. The digital PSN modulator using a dedicated DSP unit consistently reproduces an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio, providing clean and clear transmission.

Ultra high stability OCXO unit

Your IC-7800 will be the reference point on the band with a standard stability of &plusml;0.05ppm! Even on the 6m band, that is less than 3Hz error from the Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator! Also, a 10MHz reference frequency can be the input/output for external equipment.

RTTY/PSK31 operation without PC connection

The IC-7800 has a modulator and demodulator for the 2 major HF ham digital modes. Encode and decode of PSK31 and Baudot RTTY signals are possible by simply connecting a USB keyboard to the IC-7800. The twin peak audio filter improves RTTY reception. In addition, transmitted and received messages can be stored to the CF memory card and transferred to your PC.

Real time spectrun scope

With the dedicated DSP unit, the spectrum scope provides 80dB dynamic range of signal processing (the IC-756PROII is 60dB). The scope span can be set to ±2.5 to ±250kHz in 7 steps, providing wide band signal analysis.The monitor range can be set independently from the receiving frequency. You can monitor the band condition between the selected sweep edges, as well as sweep a selected band width centered on the receiving frequency in the scope screen.

In addition, the scope has many features including scope attenuator (10dB/20dB/30dB), 3 types of marker (Main band, Sub band, Transmit), Max hold function and Main-Sub band one touch switch. The mini scope function is convenient for continuous monitoring even while adjusting the set mode.

Microphone equalizer and adjustable transmit bandwidth

The built-in audio equalizer has the separate bass and treble adjustment for a total of 121 combinations, so you can tone your voice up or down as you want. In addition, the transmit bandwidth is selectable from 100, 300, 500Hz at the low-pass edge, and 2500, 2700, 2900Hz at the high-pass edge respectively. 3 types of high and low combinations can be stored in the memory. With this flexibility of DSP based waveform shaping, transmit audio quality is adjustable depending on the operating situation.

7-inch wide color TFT LCD

Response time, color, resolution, visibility the IC-7800's display has been examined in all aspects, and an active matrix 7-inch (800 ? 400 pixels) TFT color display was selected for the IC-7800. This large display shows main, sub-band frequencies including various settings and operating conditions as well as spectrum scope, S-meter and RTTY/PSK31 decoded messages. The S-meter shows near analog like needle swings that are smooth and accurate. In addition to the 3 styles of digital meter, the IC-7800 has digital multi-function bar graphic meters to show various conditions such as Final PA temperature, PA voltage etc. Further more, the IC-7800 has a VGA connector for an external monitor and an S-meter connector for an external analog S-meter.

50MHz band preamplifier and mixer

While most HF/50MHz transceivers share the preamp between the HF bands and 50MHz band, the IC-7800 uses an exclusive preamp and mixer especially designed for the 50MHz band. This preamp and mixer are tuned to the 50MHz band and improve cross modulation characteristics, particularly important when picking up a very weak signal close to a strong station.

Digital Voice Recorder

The Digital Voice Recorder (DVR) is a convenient function for contests, DX-peditions, field day and even normal operation. Record your callsign, CQ, or other station information into a memory. Independent "Record (REC)" and "Play" buttons are on the front panel.

CF (Compact Flash) memory card

The IC-7800 has a CF card slot and a CF card will be supplied with the IC-7800. You can store your various settings such as filter, display, microphone equalizer, etc, on your card. When sharing the IC-7800 with multiple-users such as on a DX-pedition, in a contest or as a club rig, the CF card allows you to restore your personal settings instantly.

Digital twin PBT

The IC-7800 is equipped with DSP based twin PBT filtering.It provides excellent performance on a completely different level from analog filters. The passband width, shift direction and steps (50Hz) are graphically displayed on the LCD.

Variable level type noise reduction

The 32-bit floating point DSP has excellent calculation performance, which processes complex and sophisticated algorithms. This allows the DSP to attenuate noise without delay and extracts noise-level signals. It is possible to vary the suppression level in 16 stages.

Variable noise blanker

A newly designed noise blanker provides significant reduction of pulse-type noise. The noise blanker allows the operator to change the threshold level as well as blank time parameter and attenuation level.

SSB data mode

When the IF filter passband is reduced to 500Hz or less in SSB mode or SSB-data mode, special band pass filters (BPF) are automatically selected. The BPF automatically sharpens for better rejection of interfering signals like a CW filter. Along with the BPF setting, the IC-7800 enables the 1/4-tuning step function for easier operation.

4 antenna connectors

The IC-7800 has 4 antenna ports (ANT1 to ANT4) with an automatic antenna selector. Once you program the operating band to the antenna port set mode, the antenna port is automatically selected as you change the operating band. Each antenna port can be set to the antenna usage type such as for Tx/Rx use, Rx only use and off line. The antenna switch button allows you to change an antenna port temporarily.

Triple band stacking register

With the push of a band button, the band stacking register allows you to simply bring back the last three operating settings (including antenna port) per band for simple recall. This function is convenient when you operate 3 modes such as SSB, CW and RTTY on one band.

Memory keyer

The IC-7800's memory keyer has 4 channels with 70 characters for CW, 8 channels with 70 characters for RTTY and 8 channels with 70 characters for PSK 31 operation. The memory keyer is convenient for programming station information, calling CQ and call sign for a DX-pedition or contest. Also, the CW memory keyer has other time saving functions such as automatic repeat, serial contest number auto-counter, and morse cut number functions.

IC-756PRO3 Now Only $2889.95 .

New receiver gives +30 dBm third-order intercept point*

Using receiver design techiques introduced in the IC-7800, Icom's engineering team focused on producing a distortion-free, high-dynamic-range. To achieve this goal, Icom used higher-grade components in vital receiver sections of the IC-756PROIII.
* Under the condition of receive frequency 14.2 MHz, input frequencies 14.3 MHz and 14.4 MHz, Pre-amp OFF, mode USB BW 2.4 Hz

Large inductors

The IC-756PROIII uses large inductors instead of small coils in the bandpass filter (BPF) stage, because small coils sometimes cause magnetic saturation in the BPF stage. Large inductors can handle both strong signals and weak signals with lower distortion.

Low-distortion BPF switching

The BPF switching circuitry is one of the critical points in a receiver where distortion can be produced by strong out-of-band signals. Distortion at this early receiver stage then propagates throughout the remaining stages and cannot be removed by signal processing. The IC-756PROIII uses a low distortion diodes with wide frequency characteristics that prevent formation of distortion components in the BPF stage.

Adjustable SSB transmit BW

The SSB transmit bandwidth is selectable from 100, 300 and 500 Hz at the high-pass edge, and 2500, 2700 and 2900 Hz at the low-pass edge respectively. 3 types of high and low combinations can be stored in the memory. In addition, the built-in audio equalizer has separate bass and treble adjustments fro a total of 121 combinations, so you can tone your voice up or down as you want. With this flexible DSP-based waveform shaping, you can tailor your trnsmit audio quality to suit your operating style.

Other new features

  • New 60 meter band coverage, equivalent transmit power and antenna tuner capabilities to the other bands. (USA version, USB mode only)
  • 2 clocks show different time zones at once, such as local and UTC time
  • Screen saver function
  • @ code (._ _ . _ .), used in e-mail addresses, added to memory keyer

The scope range can be set in 4 steps12.5 kHz,25 kHz,50 kHz and 100 kHz, centered on the receiving frequency. In addition, the spectrum scope has 3 attenuator levels (10 dB, 20 dB and 30 dB).

Eight-channel RTTY TX memory

The IC-756PROIII has 8 channeles of RTTY transmit memory. You can edit and send up to a 62 character message for each memory channel without a PC or other external unit.* The transmit memory is displayed on the screen so you won't send the wrong message. The built-in RTTY demodulator and decoder allow you to check the callsign of the station on the air instantly. A PC or external unit is not also necessary.
* When write and send RTTY messages on site, a Terminal Unit, TNC or PC and dedicated software is required.

Fundamental-type 64 MHz roofing filter

The IC-756PROIII uses a fundamental-mode monolithic crystal filter for the roofing filter. Although it's more expensive than overtone-mode filters, the fundamental-mode filter has a better shape factor and is less susceptible to intermodulation distortion under strong-signal conditions. This is the same 15 kHz crystal filter used in the IC-7800.

Two newly designed preamplifier

To minimize distortion and maximize dynamic range, the IC-756PROIII preamplifiers use the same basic circuit design and the IC-7800 preamplifiers. Preamp-1 is a noisless feedback design, with push-pull amplifiers. This design has a high intercept point and covers a wide frequency range. Preamp-2, which uses bipolar transistors for higher gain, is ideal when you use separate low-efficiency receiving antennas such as small loops or Beverages.

Real time spectrum scope with mini scope function

The real time sepctrum scope is now an indispensable tool for top performing HF radios. The IC-756PROIII's spectrum scope adds a mini scope function, as requested by many PROII users. The mini scope allows you to monitor the scope screen while you use other function menus.
