Direct Sampling Brought to the VHF/UHF World

Specifically built for the VHF/UHF weak signal operator in mind, the IC-9700 is a RF direct sampling receiver for 2m and 70cm, with a single, down conversion for 23cm with an IF Sampled receiver between 311 – 371MHz. This design provides a quiet receiver with the power of Icom’s DSP technology along with a robust PA providing 100W on 2m, 75W on 70cm, and 10W on 23cm.

Band Management

In addition to band specific memory channels, the IC-9700 allows band specific receiver and transmitter settings. For transmit, users can make adjustments to RF power, TX power Limit, Limit Power, and TX Delay by band. Basic receiver settings, like the Noise Blanker, Noise Reduction, and others can be tweaked by band with a dynamic Notch and Filter setup by band/mode.

Other Planned Features Include:

All mode, tri-band transceiver covering 144, 430/440 as well as 1200MHz
Supports CW/AM/SSB/SM/RTTY and D-STAR DV and DD modes
Digital Data (DD) mode provides 128 kbps data communication
