When you change the operating frequency out-side of a band, the previously used antenna is auto-matically selected (see below) for the new band. Thisfunction allows automatic switching of 4 separate an-tennas for HF and 50 MHz bands operation.• Antenna selection mode: “Auto”After an antenna has been selected for use (by push-ing [ANT] (MF1)), the antenna is automatically selectedwhenever that band is used.[EXAMPLE]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to[ANT1], a 21/28 MHz antenna is connected to [ANT2],a 50 MHz antenna is connected to [ANT3]. When theantenna selector function is set to “Auto,” an antennais automatically selected when changing bands.A receive-only antenna can be specified for [ANT4].• Antenna selection mode: “Manual”When “Manual” is selected, you can use the all an-tenna connectors, [ANT1] [ANT2], [ANT3] and [ANT4],however, band memory does not function.

(p. 12-13).• Antenna tuner of the IC-PW1When using an external antenna tuner such as the IC-PW1’s tuner, tune with the external antenna tuner, andturn OFF the IC-7700’s tuner. After tuning is com-pleted, turn the internal tuner ON. Otherwise, bothtuners tune simultaneously and correct tuning may notbe obtained.See the instruction manual included with each antennatuner for their respective operations.DIf the tuner cannot tune the antennaCheck the following and try again:• the [ANT] connector selection.• the antenna connection and feedline.• the untuned antenna SWR. (Less than 3:1 for HF bands; Lessthan 2.5:1 for 50 MHz band)• the transmit power.

INSTALLATION NOTESFor amateur base station installations it is recom-mended that the clearance in front of the antenna arrayis calculated relative to the EIRP (Effective IsotropicRadiated Power). The clearance height below the an-tenna array can be determined in most cases from theRF power at the antenna input terminals.Different exposure limits have been recommended fordifferent frequencies, a relative table shows a guide-line for installation considerations.Below 30 MHz, the recommended limits are specifiedin terms of V/m or A/m fields as they are likely to fallwithin the near-field region. Similarly, the antennasmay be physically short in terms of electrical lengthand that the installation will require some antennamatching device which can create local, high intensitymagnetic fields. Analysis of such installations is bestconsidered in association with published guidancenotes such as the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01and its annexes relative to amateur transmitter instal-lations. The EC recommended limits are almost identi-cal to the FCC specified ‘uncontrolled’ limits and tablesexist that show pre-calculated safe distances for differ-ent antenna types for different frequency bands. Fur-ther information can be found at http://www.arrl.org/.• Typical amateur radio installationExposure distance assumes that the predominant ra-diation pattern is forward and that radiation downwardis at unity gain (side lobe suppression is equal to mainlobe gain). This is true of almost every gain antennatoday. Exposed persons are assumed to be beneaththe antenna array and have a typical height of 1.8 m.The figures assume the worst-case emission of con-stant carrier.For the bands 10 MHz and higher the following powerdensity limits have been recommended:10–144 MHz 2 W/sq mEIRP clearance heights by frequency band1 Watts 2.1 m10 Watts 2.8 m25 Watts 3.4 m100 Watts 5 m1000 Watts 12 mForward clearance, EIRP by frequency band100 Watts 2 m1000 Watts 6.5 m10,000 Watts 20 m100,000 Watts 65 mIn all cases any possible risk depends on the transmit-ter being activated for long periods. (actual recom-mendation limits are specified as an average during 6minutes) Normally the transmitter is not active for longperiods of time. Some radio licenses will require that atimer circuit automatically cuts the transmitter after 1–2minutes etc.Similarly some types of emission, i.e., SSB, CW, AMetc. have a lower ‘average’ output power and the as-sessed risk is even lower.Versions of the IC-7700 which display the“CE” symbol on the serial number seal,comply with the essential requirements ofthe European Radio and TelecommunicationTerminal Directive 1999/5/EC.This warning symbol indicates that thisequipment operates in non-harmonised fre-quency bands and/or may be subject to li-censing conditions in the country of use.
