The dual Spectrum Scope provides excellent sweep speed, resolution, and a wide dynamic range of 100 dB with FPGA, DSP and CPU combined processing for main and sub bands. It can also monitor two different bands at the same time, which is useful for monitoring conditions and during contests. Dual scopes can be shown left-to-right or top-to-bottom layout, depending on the situation and needs. In the Continuous SCROLL mode, a wide bandwidth exceeding 1 MHz can be seen on the scope screen. The waterfall display shows changes in the frequency spectrum vertically, enabling the user to find a weak signal that is difficult to detect with the spectrum scope. Increases QSO possibilities without missing weak DX stations.
Audio Scope Flexibility
The Audio Scope screen shows the transmit and received signal’s frequency components on the FFT scope, and its waveform components on the Oscilloscope. The Audio Scope makes it easy to monitor signal characteristics such as microphone compressor level, filter width, and notch filter. You can monitor received CW keying wave forms in the Oscilloscope.
Full Control Head and RF Deck Functions
Dual Speakers
The IC-7760 is also equipped with dual speakers. By separating the MAIN/SUB audio into left and right speakers, respectively, distinguishing the audio during Dualwatch operation is improved. MAIN/SUB audio can set for stereo or mono output from both speakers.
Automatic Contest Serial Numbering
Contest Serial Numbering Example
This function is powerful in CW and RTTY contests. Each time the pre-programmed memory is transmitted, the serial number is automatically counted from 001. The serial number can be set in multiple locations to ensure that the contest number is reliably copied.
PRESET FT8 Menu
Introduced with the IC-7300 as FT8 is actively used around the world in everyday operation as well as with DXpeditions. FT8 can be easily set up by simply selecting it from the [Preset] memory and all necessary items can be set at once. Moreover, when returning to the normal settings from FT8, simply select [Normal] memory for a smooth transition. In addition, up to 3 [Preset] memories can be written to presets SSTV as well as future new digital modes to be supported.
RC-28 for a Second VFO Knob
Use Image of Optional RC-28
By connecting the optional RC-28 via USB connection, the SUB band tuning of the IC-7760 can be conveniently operated with your fingertips. MAIN/SUB switching buttons can be assigned to the F-1 and F-2 buttons on the RC-28 and it can operate as the main dial for both MAIN and SUB bands. This allows for quick response to DXpedition stations in split operation, as well as Dualwatch.
SD Card Slot
An SD card slot is provided as an interface for data storage. In addition to voice recordings of outgoing and incoming calls, RTTY/PSK decode logs, captured images of the display, user settings, and firmware updates can be saved in the storage. Voice memories sent in Phone modes, and message memories sent in CW/RTTY/PSK modes, can also be stored. In addition, when an operator is replaced, the operator can simply load their preferred settings from the storage to immediately start operating.
Touch Screen and Multi-Dial Knob
The combination of the touch screen and the multi-dial knob offers easy access to various settings. When the multi-dial knob is pressed, menu items appear on the right side of the display next to the dial. Touch that menu to select an item, then turn the multi-dial knob to adjust the level, providing much faster access to various functions such as RF power, microphone gain, DIGI-SEL, and notch functions.
I/Q Signal Output
USB Connector on the RF Deck (USB 3.0 cable required)
An SD card slot is provided as an interface for data storage. In addition to voice recordings of outgoing and incoming calls, RTTY/PSK decode logs, captured images of the display, user settings, and firmware updates can be saved in the storage. Voice memories sent in Phone modes, and message memories sent in CW/RTTY/PSK modes, can also be stored. In addition, when an operator is replaced, the operator can simply load their preferred settings from the storage for immediately starting of operation.
RS-BA1 – Internal Server
Whether from a remote part of your home QTH, or at a remote location somewhere around the world, the RS-BA1 Version 2 software enables you to operate your IC-7760. The Dualwatch operation and dual spectrum scopes with the waterfall functions can be used on your remote PC. With the addition of an Ethernet connector, a base station computer is not required.
DVI-D Connector
The IC-7760 has a DVI-D connector on the remote control head to output digital signals to an external display without signal degradation. The main display can be mirrored on the large external display.
