The IC-PW2 is Icom’s most advanced linear amplifier and features a solid 1KW on the HF and 6m bands.
LDMOS Transistor
High Power & Full Duty Cycle Operation
The IC-PW2 uses new 65 V LDMOS power transistors (MRFX1K80HR5) and a high-efficiency power supply. Achieve a 1kW output with a 200V AC Input. The IC-PW2 instantly operates at full power once turned on. Use the PW2 for long contest hours or full-duty FT8 operation.
the IC-7610. This technology corrects the signal distortion from the IC-PW2, by applying inverse distortion to the output signal from the IC-7610 exciter in advance*2.
*1 According to our research as of July 2023. *2 Not applied in non-linear modulation such as FM, FSK, and MSK modes.
Single Operator Two Radios (SO2R) operation is possible with one IC-PW2. While you are making a call on one radio*1, you can watch another band on the other radio. The transmitter lockout function*2 prevents simultaneous transmission of two radios during SO2R operation.
*1 Performance may deteriorate depending on the performance/specifications of the BPF and exciter, antenna installation conditions, and other factors. In such cases, please take measures such as using two sets of BPFs.
*2 Compatible Radio linked operation is available with IC-7851, IC-7610, and IC-7300 (firmware upgrade required.)
Conventional linear amplifiers require two multi-band bandpass filters (BPF) to prevent suppression of receive sensitivity by their own transmit signal when operating SO2R. However, the IC-PW2 automatically connects the multi-band BPF to the receiving radio when you select either radio to transmit. This makes SO2R operation possible with just one Multi-band BPF*.
* Performance may deteriorate depending on the performance/specifications of the BPF and exciter, antenna installation conditions, and other factors. In such cases, please take measures such as using two sets of BPFs.
User supplied bandpass filters (BPF), preamps, and attenuators can be connected to the [RX-ANT] connectors. When you use two radios with the IC-PW2, one multi-band BPF can be shared with these radios by switching the receiving radio. In addition, the band switching of multi-band BPF can be controlled from the band signal output connector. The [BAND 1], [BAND 2] signal output connectors, can each be set to either [INPUT 1], [INPUT 2], transmitter side, or receiver side. It can be linked with band switching of various external devices.
Use compatible Icom radios to get the full performance out of the IC-PW2. Accessing various settings is easy. When you operate the transceiver by changing bands and frequency tuning, the IC-PW2 automatically works in conjunction. It provides a rapid response in contests and multi-band operations.
* Compatible Radio linked operation is available with IC-7851, IC-7610, and IC-7300 (firmware upgrade required.)
Optional PC remote-control software will provide a remote-control operation through a LAN. Remote power ON/OFF from the PC and various operation of the radio will be possible.
A remote-control cable (3 m, 9.8 ft) enables the amplifier to be mounted away from the radios for a big station installation. The 4.3 inch color display is a touch screen with a graphical user interface. Connected antennas are graphically shown on the display.
