User manual ICOM IC-707

[. . . ] In addition, the spectrum scope has 3 attenuator levels (10dB, 20dB and 30dB). Adjustable SSB transmit BW The SSB transmit bandwidth is selectable from 100, 300 and 500Hz at the high-pass edge, and 2500, 2700 and 2900Hz 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 for 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 transmit audio quality to suit your operSSB transmit bandwidth setting ating style. Mini scope screen Normal spectrum scope screen Eight-channel RTTY TX memory RF stage & Preamplifiers Preamp-1 Preamp-2 Real time spectrum scope with mini scope function The real time spectrum scope is now an indispensable tool for top performing HF radios. [. . . ] The mini scope allows you to monitor the scope screen while you use other function menus. For example, you can monitor the scope screen even while you are changing the IF filter shape and passband width. The scope range can be set in 4 steps ±12. 5 kHz, ±25 kHz, ±50 kHz and ±100 kHz, centered on The IC-707 has 8 channels 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 writing and sending RTTY messages on site, a Terminal Unit, TNC or PC and dedicated software is required.

A. 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 Inherited Properties From the 756PROII Inherited Propert 32-bit floating point DSP & 24-bit AD/DA converters The heart of the IC-707 is the proven combination of the 32-bit floating point DSP and 24-bit AD/DA converters. This powerful combination supports many digital processing features exclusive to the IC-707, which cannot be achieved with traditional analog processors. The 24bit AD/DA converter has an ultra-wide dynamic range. Great for breaking through the noise and hash to complete the QSO. Speech compressor OFF Speech compressor ON Adjustable noise reduction The 32-bit DSP processing power produces real results by separating signal components from the noise with the variable Noise Reduction. By suppressing the noise components, an outstanding Signalto-noise ratio is achieved, providing clear, clean audio in all modes without distortion of the target signal.

Along with superior IMD characteristics, these transistors have plenty of power to allow for 100W full duty cycle operation. Advanced design considerations along with an aluminum, die-cast frame, and large cooling fan, help to stabilize the PA circuit providing full duty cycle operation. Adjustable noise blanker Reduce annoying QRN from pulse-type noise such as engine ignition systems and sparking appliance motors, with the fully adjustable (101 steps) noise blanker. High stability crystal unit The IC-707 incorporates a high-stability master oscillator, providing ±0. 5ppm (­10ºC to +50ºC). A must for RTTY, SSTV or MARS operation. Digital voice recorder The Digital Voice Recorder (DVR) is a very convenient function for contests, DXpeditions and even normal operation. Record your callsign, CQ, or other station information into four memory locations. A total of 90 seconds is available for the four memories, with each memory channel being soft partitioned to allow custom recording sizes. A quick push of the front-panel DVR button allows you to record received signal into the R4 memory. The playback automatically mutes the receiver for clear playback of the previous 15 seconds of recorded audio. The perfect feature for those contest operators wanting to improve their UBN. Digital voice recorder Crystal oscillator Triple band stacking register Hop around the band with Icom's exclusive triple band stacking registers. [. . . ] Each band remembers the last 3 frequencies, mode and other settings used. SSB data communication When the IF filter passband is reduced to 500Hz or less in SSB/SSB data mode, special bandpass filters are automatically selected. The BPF automatically sharpen for better rejection of interfering signals. Along with the BPF, the IC-707 automatically turns off the compression and enables the 1/4-tuning step for easier operation and more accurate tuning. Perfect for PSK31, SSTV or other AFSK modes. CW memory keyer A must have feature for the CW operator, the internal memory keyer provides 4 memories for programming station information, calling CQ and callsign. [. . . ]
