Actual size
144, 430/440, 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,
and RTTY modes, the transceiver also incorporates D-STAR (Digital Smart Technology for Amateur Radio) DV and DD modes. A fullfeatured Satellite mode is built-in! There are three antennaconnectors, one each for 144, 430/440, and 1200 MHz.

The Icom’s Digital Expertise
RF Direct Sampling, for 144 MHz and 430/440 MHz, is utilized inthe IC-9700. For 1200 MHz, the Down Conversion IF Sampling
method is adopted. In this system, signals are digitized by the ADC
and processed in the FPGA. The signals are processed in thedigital domain, thus eliminating distortion and other nonlinear
elements seen in the legacy superheterodyne receivers. Theoutcome is that the signal purity is very high, and clear audio canbe generated.

Intuitive Touch Screen Display
The beautifully designed MENU screens enable you to navigate

provides quick access to the Satellite and D-STAR functions.
Additionally, a touch

Real-Time Spectrum Scope and Waterfall Display

Newly Designed Power Amplifier

Almost Identical User Interface to the IC-7300This 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,
you can instantly see the operating band condition. With a simple
touch of the scope, you can tune
the radio to the desired signals
frequency. You can also viewthe receive signal history using
the waterfall display.

The power amplifier outputs stable
power with high efficiency (144/430
MHz band: 100/75 watts). The coolingsystem prevents the PA from overheating, even when operating for a longtime. That ensures reliable operation
during contests. This amplifier is moreenergy efficient than 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.

ExampleIndependent 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 the SSB mode while receiving on the 144 MHz
band in the FM mode. Thisfunction can be a significant
advantage when participatingin contests or searching for weaksignals. Furthermore, the IC-9700
is Full Duplex, which enables
you to transmit on the main band
while receiving on the sub band. Example

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 received by
D-STAR enthusiasts. The DR function can beused on both the Main and Sub bands simultaneously to listen to two separate DV signals.
Moreover, by using the DD mode, you canbrowse the Internet through a repeater station.

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

Normal and Reverse Tracking Functions
ExampleBuilt-in DV Gateway Functions
A static IP address can be set tothe transceiver. If you set aglobal IP address to your router,you can use the Terminal modeor Access Point mode without
any software applications.

AFC Function

Connection example (AP mode)

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

OPC-2350LU

Other D-STAR

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 the CW mode can bemonitored. Transmit or receive audio can either be displayed on
the FFT scope and the oscilloscope.

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