Actual size

144, 430, and 1200 MHz All Mode Transceiver
Including Satellite, DV, and DD Modes
The IC-9700 is an all mode Tri-band transceiver, covering 2 m, 70cm, and 23 cm. In addition to the traditional SSB, AM, FM, CW, andRTTY modes, the transceiver also incorporates the D-STAR (DigitalSmart Technology for Amateur Radio) DV and DD modes. A fullfeatured Satellite mode is built-in! There are three antenna connectors, one each for 144, 430, and 1200 MHz.

The Icom’s Digital Expertise
RF Direct Sampling, for 144 MHz and 430 MHz, is utilized in theIC-9700. For 1200 MHz, the Down Conversion IF Sampling method
is adopted. In this system, signals are digitized by the ADC andprocessed in the FPGA. The signals are processed in the digitaldomain, thus eliminating distortion and other nonlinear elements
seen in the legacy superheterodyne receivers. The outcome is thatthe signal purity is very high, and clear audio can be generated.

Real-Time Spectrum Scope and Waterfall Display

Newly Designed Power Amplifier

Almost Identical User Interface to the IC-7300

This is the first time for an Icom VHF/UHF transceiver to have areal-time spectrum scope and waterfall display comparable to an
HF high tier transceiver. With the high-speed spectrum scope, youcan instantly see the operating
band condition. With a simple
touch of the scope, you cantune the radio to the desired
signals frequency. You canalso view the receive signal
history using the waterfall
display.
ExampleThe power amplifier outputs stable
power with high efficiency (144/430
MHz band: 100/75 watts). The
cooling system prevents the PA fromoverheating, even when operating
for a long time. That ensures reliableoperation during contests. Thisamplifier is more energy efficientthan previous models.

The layout of the dials and keys, and the menu screens arealmost the same as the IC-7300. If you are familiar with theIC-7300, you can operate the IC-9700 without hesitation. TheIC-9700 is the perfectside-by-side companion
to the IC-7300, enabling
operations from HF tothe 1200 MHz.

Independent Receiver, Full Duplex Operation
The IC-9700 can simultaneously receive on two different bands,
and two different modes. For example, you can receive on the1200 MHz band in SSB mode while receiving on the 144 MHz
band in FM mode. This function can be a significant advantage
when participating in contests
or searching for weak signals.
Furthermore, the IC-9700 is
Full Duplex, which enables
you to transmit on the mainband while receiving on thesub band.
ExampleThe beautifully designed MENU screens enable you to navigate
settings and functions with a simple touch. The expanded menu
provides quick access to the Satellite and D-STAR functions.
Additionally, a touch
on-screen keyboard isavailable for enteringalphanumeric memory
channel names.

Audio Scope Function
Making good use of the Audio Scope function, various audio
characteristics, such as microphone compressor level, filter
width, notch filter width, and keying waveform in CW mode canbe monitored. Transmit or receive audio can either be displayedon the FFT scope and the oscilloscope.

This is a comparison between two transceivers’
rear chassis temperatures when continuouslytransmitting for 15 minutes. The IC-910* rises to65 °C while the IC-9700 rises only to 45 °C.
* Japanese version example when testing at 50 W.

D-STAR Operation Friendly Functions

Comprehensive Menus for Satellite Operation

The IC-9700 has the D-STAR Repeater(DR) function that has been well receivedby D-STAR enthusiasts. The DR function
can be used on both the Main and Sub
bands simultaneously to listen to two
separate DV signals. Moreover, by using
the DD mode, you can browse theInternet through a repeater station.

The IC-9700’s Satellite mode makes Satellite operation veryeasy. Even in Satellite mode, you can use the high-quality
spectrum scope.

Normal and Reverse Tracking Functions
In addition to the Reverse Tracking function there is also a
Normal Tracking function. Both functions simultaneously
increase or decrease both the downlink and uplink frequencies in the same steps.

ExampleBuilt-in DV Gateway Functions

AFC Function

A static IP address can be
set to the transceiver. If you
set a global IP address toyour router, you can use theTerminal mode or Access
Point mode without any
software applications.

Automatic Frequency Control follows the frequency change
caused by the Doppler effect, thus maintaining a stable
receive condition.
