Split frequency operation is performed using 2 frequencies on the main and sub readouts. The following is an example of setting 21.290 MHz for receiving and 21.310 MHz for transmitting. [SPLIT] indicator A/B Main dial q Set 21.290 MHz (USB) in VFO mode. w Push SPLIT momentarily, then push and hold A=B for 1 sec. A=B • The quick split function is much more convenient for selecting the transmit frequency. See the next section for details. • The equalized transmit frequency and “ SPLIT ” appear on the LCD. • [SPLIT] indicator lights. • “TX” appears to show the transmit frequency readout. SPLIT e Set the transmit frequency to 21.310 MHz in the following way. ➥ Rotate the main dial while pushing [XFC]. XFC • When the split function ON • The transmit frequency can be monitored while pushing [XFC]. r Now you can receive on 21.290 MHz and transmit on 21.310 MHz. To change the transmit and receive frequencies, push A/B to exchange the main and sub readouts. • When [XFC] is pushed ✔ CONVENIENT • Direct shift frequency input The shift frequency can be entered directly. q Push F-INP ENT . w Enter the desired shift frequency with the digit keys. • 1 kHz to 1 MHz can be set. • When you require a negative shift direction, push GENE • in advance. e Push SPLIT . • The split frequency operation is ready • The shift frequency is input in the sub readout and the split function is turned ON. [Example] To transmit on 1 kHz higher frequency: - Push F-INP ENT , 1.8 1 then SPLIT . To transmit on 3 kHz lower frequency: - Push F-INP ENT , GENE • , 7 3 then SPLIT . • Split lock function Accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotating the main dial changes the receive frequency. To prevent this, use both the split lock and dial lock functions to change the transmit frequency only. The split lock function cancels the dial lock function while pushing [XFC] during split frequency operation. The dial lock’s effect during split frequency operation can be selected in the set mode for both receive and transmit frequencies; or only the receive frequency. (p. 12-13) 6-6 FUNCTIONS FOR TRANSMIT ■ Quick split function When you find a DX station, an important consideration is how to set the split frequency. When you push and hold the SPLIT switch for 1 sec., split frequency operation is turned ON and the transmit frequency is equalized to the received frequency. This shortens the time needed to begin split frequency operation. The quick split function is ON by default. For your convenience, it can be turned OFF in Others set mode. (p. 12-12) In this case, the SPLIT switch does not equalize the transmit frequency to the receive frequency. q Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB) in VFO mode. w Push and hold SPLIT for 1 sec. [SPLIT] indicator • Split frequency operation is turned ON. • The transmit frequency (unselected VFO’s readout) is equalized to the receive frequency (selected VFO’s readout). • “ F-INP ” indicator appears. Main dial e Enter the desired offset frequency from the keypad then push SPLIT , or set the transmit frequency with the main dial while pushing [XFC]. SPLIT XFC • “ F-INP ” indicator appears when F-INPENT is pushed. • Offset frequency setting with the keypad— example To transmit on 1 kHz higher frequency: - Push F-INPENT , 1.8 1 then SPLIT . To transmit on 3 kHz lower frequency: - Push F-INPENT , GENE • , 7 3 then SPLIT . D Split lock function The split lock function is convenient for changing only the transmit frequency. When the split lock function is not used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotating the main dial, changes the receive frequency. The split lock function is ON by default, but can be turned OFF in set mode. (p. 12-13) q While split frequency operation is ON, push [LOCK] to activate the split lock function. w While pushing [XFC], rotate the main dial to change the transmit frequency. [LOCK] indicator • If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating the main dial, the receive frequency does NOT change.

CLR F-5 F-5 (CLR) Beep Beep Beep Push for 1 sec. 8-6 MEMORY OPERATION ■ Memo pads The transceiver has a memo pad function to store frequency and operating mode for easy write and recall. The memo pads are separate from memory channels. The default number of memo pads is 5, however, this can be increased to 10 in set mode if desired. (p. 12-15) MP-W Memo pads are convenient when you want to memorize a frequency and operating mode temporarily, such as when you find a DX station in a pile-up, or when a desired station is busy for a long time and you want to temporarily search for other stations. MP-R Use the transceiver’s memo pads instead of relying on hastily scribbled notes that are easily misplaced. D Writing frequencies and operating modes into memo pads You can store the readout frequency and operating mode by pushing MP-W . MP-W When you store a 6th frequency and operating mode, the oldest stored frequency and operating mode are automatically erased to make room for the new settings. Newest Each memo pad must have its own unique combination of frequency and operating mode; memo pads having identical settings cannot be written. Oldest Erased In this example, 21.276 MHz (USB) will be erased when 7.067 MHz (LSB) is written. D Calling up a frequency from a memo pad You can call up the desired frequency and operating mode of a memo pad by pushing MP-R several times. MP-R • Both VFO and memory modes can be used. • The frequency and operating mode are called up, starting from the most recently written. Newest MP-R When you call up a frequency and an operating mode from memo pads with MP-R , the previously displayed frequency and operating mode are automatically stored in a temporary pad. The frequency and operating mode in the temporary pad can be recalled by pushing MP-R several times. Oldest MEMO PADS • You may think there are 6 memo pads because 6 different frequencies (5 are in memo pads and 1 is in the temporary pad) are called up by MP-R . If you change the frequency or operating mode called up from a memo pad with the main dial, etc., the frequency and operating mode in the temporary pad are erased. 8-7 SCANS ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Section Scan types ……………………………………………………………… Preparation ……………………………………………………………… Voice squelch control function ………………………………………… Scan set mode ………………………………………………………… Programmed scan operation ………………………………………… ∂F scan operation ……………………………………………………… Fine programmed scan/Fine ∂F scan ……………………………… Memory scan operation ………………………………………………… Select memory scan operation ……………………………………… Setting select memory channels ……………………………………… D Setting in scan screen ……………………………………………… D Setting in memory list screen ……………………………………… D Erasing the select scan setting …………………………………… ■ Tone scan ……………………………………………………………… 9-1 9-2 9-2 9-3 9-3 9-4 9-4 9-5 9-6 9-6 9-7 9-7 9-7 9-7 9-8 9 SCANS ■ Scan types • The scan function can be used on the main readout only. • You can operate a scan while operating on a frequency using the split functions. PROGRAMMED SCAN ∂F SCAN Repeatedly scans between two scan edge frequencies (scan edge memory channels P1 and P2). Repeatedly scans within ∂F span area. Scan edge P1 or P2 Start frequency Scan edge P2 or P1 –∂F frequency +∂F frequency Scan Scan Scan Jump Jump This scan operates in VFO mode. This scan operates in both VFO and memory modes. MEMORY SCAN SELECT MEMORY SCAN Repeatedly scans all programmed memory channels. Repeatedly scans all or one of 3 select memory channels. Blank channel Mch 2 ★2 Mch 1 ★1 Mch 3 ★1 Mch 7 ★1 Mch 2 ★2 Mch 4 *“★1,” “★2” and “★3” show that the channel is specified as the select memory. Mch 99 ★1 Blank channel Mch 1 ★1 Mch 5 ★1 Mch 6 ★3 Mch 4 *“★1,” “★2” and “★3” show that the channel is specified as the select memory. Mch 99 ★1 This scan operates in memory mode. Mch 3 ★1 Mch 5 ★1 Mch 6 ★3 Mch 7 ★1 This scan operates in memory mode. ■ Preparation • Channels For programmed scan: Program scan edge frequencies into scan edge memory channels P1 and P2. For ∂F scan: Set the ∂F span (∂F scan range) in the scan screen. For memory scan: Program 2 or more memory channels except scan edge memory channels. For select memory scan: Designate 2 or more memory channels as select memory channels. To designate the channel as a select memory channel, choose a memory channel, then push [SELECT] F-3 in the scan screen (memory mode) or in the memory list screen. • Scan speed Scan speed can be selected from 2 levels, high or low, in scan set mode.

See p. 9-3 for ON/OFF setting and scan resume condition details. pears while scan is paused, scan resumes 2 sec. later. 9-2 SCANS ■ Voice squelch control function This function is useful when you don’t want unmodulated signals pausing or cancelling a scan. When the voice squelch control function is activated, the transceiver checks received signals for voice components. If a received signal includes voice components, and the tone of the voice components changes within 1 sec., scan pauses (or stops). If the received signal includes no voice components or the tone of the voice components does not change within 1 sec., scan resumes. ➥ While a phone mode (SSB, AM or FM) is selected, push [VSC] (MF7) to switch the VSC (Voice Squelch Control) function ON and OFF. VSC • “VSC” appears when the function is activated. • The VSC function activates for any scan. • The VSC function resumes the scan on unmodulated signals, regardless of whether the scan resume condition is set to ON or OFF. ■ Scan set mode When the squelch is open, scan continues until it is stopped manually— it does not pause on detected signals. When squelch is closed, scan stops when detecting a signal, then resumes according to the scan resume condition. Scan speed and the scan resume condition can be set using the scan set mode. ∫ √ DEF F-1 F-2 F-4 EXIT/SET q Push [SCAN] F-5 to select scan screen. w Push [SET] F-7 to select scan set mode. e Push [Y] F-1 or [Z] F-2 to select the desired item. r Rotate the main dial to select the desired condition.

ANT For each operating band the IC-7700 covers, there is a band memory which can memorize the selected antenna. When you change the operating frequency outside of a band, the previously used antenna is automatically selected (see below) for the new band. This function allows automatic switching of 4 separate antennas for HF and 50 MHz bands operation. • Antenna selection mode: “Auto” 3.5/7 MHz 21/28 MHz bands bands 50 MHz bands ANT 1 After an antenna has been selected for use (by pushing [ANT] (MF1)), the antenna is automatically selected whenever that band is used. RX only [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 the antenna selector function is set to “Auto,” an antenna is automatically selected when changing bands. A receive-only antenna can be specified for [ANT4]. ANT 4 ANT 2 ANT 3 • Antenna selection mode: “Manual” When “Manual” is selected, you can use the all antenna connectors, [ANT1] [ANT2], [ANT3] and [ANT4], however, band memory does not function.

After the tuner matches an antenna, the variable capacitor settings are memorized as a preset point for each frequency range (100 kHz steps). Therefore, when you change the frequency range, the variable capacitors are automatically preset to the memorized setting. CAUTION: NEVER transmit with the tuner ON when no antenna is connected. This will damage the transceiver. Be careful of the antenna selection. D Tuner operation ➥ Push TUNER to turn the internal antenna tuner ON. The antenna is tuned automatically when the antenna SWR is higher than 1.5:1. • When the tuner is ON, [TUNER] switch indicator lights green. • While tuning, [TUNER] switch indicator blinks green. TUNER NOTES: • NEVER transmit without an antenna properly connected to antenna port in use. • When 2 or more antennas are connected, select the antenna to be used with [ANT]. • If the SWR is higher than about 1.5:1 when tuning above 100 kHz on an antenna’s preset point, push and hold TUNER for 1 sec. to start manual tuning. • The internal tuner may not be able to tune in AM mode. In such cases, push and hold TUNER for 1 sec. to manually tune. • MANUAL TUNING During SSB operation at low voice levels, the internal tuner may not be tuned correctly. In such cases, manual tuning is helpful. ➥ Push and hold TUNER for 1 sec., to start manual tuning. • A side tone is emitted and [TUNER] switch indicator blinks red while tuning. • If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1 after 20 sec. of tuning, the [TUNER] switch indicator goes out. • AUTOMATIC TUNER START (HF bands only) If you want to deactivate the tuner under conditions of VSWR 1.5:1 or less, use the auto tuner start function and turn the tuner OFF. This function activates the tuner automatically when the SWR exceeds 1.5:1. This function is turned ON in set mode. (p. 12-13). 10-6 ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION 10 ■ Antenna tuner operation (continued) • PTT TUNER START The tuner is always tuned when the PTT is pushed after the frequency is changed (more than 1% from last-tuned frequency). This function removes the “push and hold TUNER ” operation and activates for the first transmission on a new frequency. This function is turned ON in set mode. (p. 12-13). • Antenna tuner of the IC-PW1 When using an external antenna tuner such as the ICPW1’s tuner, tune with the external antenna tuner, and turn OFF the IC-7700’s tuner. After tuning is completed, turn the internal tuner ON. Otherwise, both tuners tune simultaneously and correct tuning may not be obtained. See the instruction manual included with each antenna tuner for their respective operations. D If the tuner cannot tune the antenna Check 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; Less than 2.5:1 for 50 MHz band) • the transmit power. (8 W for HF bands; 15 W for 50 MHz band) • the power source voltage/capacity. If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1 after checking the above, perform the following: • repeat manual tuning several times. • tune with a 50 dummy load and re-tune the antenna. • turn power OFF and ON. • adjust the antenna feedline length. (This is effective for higher frequencies in some cases.) • Some antennas, especially for low bands, have a narrow bandwidth. These antennas may not be tuned at the edge of their bandwidth, therefore, tune such an antenna as follows: [Example]: Suppose you have an antenna which has an SWR of 1.5:1 at 3.55 MHz and an SWR of 3:1 at 3.8 MHz. q Push TUNER to turn the antenna tuner ON. w Select CW mode. e Turn OFF the break-in function.

By updating the firmware, new function(s) can be added and the improvement of performance parameters can be made. 2 methods of firmware update are available: one uses the USB-Memory, and the other uses a PC. You can choose either methods according to your PC capabilities. At least one available USB (2.0 or 1.1) port is required to copy the downloaded firmware file. An Ethernet card/board (10 BASE-T/100 BASE TX compatible) is required when updating the firmware from the PC. The USB hub and Ethernet card/board are not supplied by Icom. Ask your PC dealer about a USB hub and an Ethernet card/board for details. • When only one PC connected to the Internet is available ➥ Refer to ■ Preparation (p. 16-3) and ■ Firmware update— USB-Memory (p. 16-4) • When two or more PCs connected to the Internet are available and they are connected to a LAN (Local Area Network) ➥ Refer to ■ Preparation (p. 16-3) and either ■ Firmware update— PC (p. 16-6) or ■ Firmware update— USB-Memory (p. 16-4) Ask your dealer or distributor about how to update the firmware if you have no PC. ■ Caution R CAUTION!: NEVER turn the transceiver power OFF while updating the firmware. You can turn the transceiver power OFF only when the transceiver displays that rebooting is required. If you turn the transceiver power OFF, or if a power failure occurs during updating, the transceiver firmware will be corrupted and you will have to send the transceiver back to the nearest Icom distributor for repair. This type of repair is out of warranty even if the warranty period is still valid. Recommendation! Backing up the settings and/or memory contents to the USB-Memory before starting the firmware update is recommended. Settings and/or memory contents will be lost or returned to default settings when the firmware update is performed. 16-2 UPDATING THE FIRMWARE 16 ■ Preparation D Firmware and firm utility The latest firmware and the firm utility can be downloaded from the Icom home page via the Internet.

The clearance height below the antenna array can be determined in most cases from the RF power at the antenna input terminals. Different exposure limits have been recommended for different frequencies, a relative table shows a guideline for installation considerations. Below 30 MHz, the recommended limits are specified in terms of V/m or A/m fields as they are likely to fall within the near-field region. Similarly, the antennas may be physically short in terms of electrical length and that the installation will require some antenna matching device which can create local, high intensity magnetic fields. Analysis of such installations is best considered in association with published guidance notes such as the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 and its annexes relative to amateur transmitter installations. The EC recommended limits are almost identical to the FCC specified ‘uncontrolled’ limits and tables exist that show pre-calculated safe distances for different antenna types for different frequency bands. Further information can be found at http://www.arrl.org/. • Typical amateur radio installation Exposure distance assumes that the predominant radiation pattern is forward and that radiation downward is at unity gain (side lobe suppression is equal to main lobe gain). This is true of almost every gain antenna today. Exposed persons are assumed to be beneath the antenna array and have a typical height of 1.8 m. The figures assume the worst-case emission of constant carrier. For the bands 10 MHz and higher the following power density limits have been recommended: 10–144 MHz 2 W/sq m EIRP clearance heights by frequency band 1 Watts 2.1 m 10 Watts 2.8 m 25 Watts 3.4 m 100 Watts 5m 1000 Watts 12 m Forward clearance, EIRP by frequency band 100 Watts 2m 1000 Watts 6.5 m 10,000 Watts 20 m 100,000 Watts 65 m In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter being activated for long periods. (actual recommendation limits are specified as an average during 6 minutes) Normally the transmitter is not active for long periods of time. Some radio licenses will require that a timer circuit automatically cuts the transmitter after 1–2 minutes etc. Similarly some types of emission, i.e., SSB, CW, AM etc. have a lower ‘average’ output power and the assessed risk is even lower.
