212INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS123456789101112131415161718192021N UnpackingAfter unpacking, immediately report any damage to the delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping car-tons.For a description and a diagram of accessory equip-ment included with the IC-7200, see ‘Supplied acces-sories’ on p. i of this manual.N Selecting a locationSelect a location for the transceiver that allows ade-quate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna ele-ments, radios and other electromagnetic sources.The base of the transceiver has an adjustable stand for desktop use. Set the stand to one of two angles depending on your operating conditions.StandN GroundingTo prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-lems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND terminal on the rear panel.For best results, connect a copper or copper-plated ground rod driven into the earth. Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and ground as short and straight as possible.R WARNING: NEVER connect the [GND] terminal to a gas or electric conduit, since the con-nection could cause an explosion or electric shock.[GND]N Antenna connectionFor radio communications the antenna is of criti-cal importance for output power and sensitivity. Use well-matched 50 ø antennas and coaxial feedline. An SWR (standing wave ratio) of 1.5:1 or lower is recom-mended when transmitting.CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from light-ning by using a lightning arrestor.Antenna SWREach antenna is tuned for a specified frequency range and SWR may be increased out-of-range. When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0:1, the transceiver’s power drops to protect the final transis-tor. In this case, an optional antenna tuner is useful to match the transceiver and antenna. Low SWR al-lows full power for transmitting even when using the antenna tuner. The IC-7200 has an SWR meter to monitor the antenna SWR continuously.PL-259 CONNECTOR INSTALLATION EXAMPLE30 mm10 mm (soft solder)10 mm1–2 mmsolder solderSoftsolderCoupling ringSlide the coupling ring down.

You can also change the frequency with [DIAL] and select an operating mode with MODE or call up previ-ously accessed frequency and modes with the band stacking register (p. 24).The IC-7200 has two VFOs, specially suited for split frequency operation. The VFOs are called VFO A and VFO B. You can use the desired VFO to call up a fre-quency and operating mode for operation.SelectMEMORYCHANNELDIAL7.001 MHz21.295 MHzBANDChangeTransferTransferVFON VFO operationD Selecting the VFO A/BD VFO equalization± Push  A/B= to toggle VFO A or VFO B.MODETUNERTSFILTERSPCHV/MA/BSPLITM-CLSCANSETATTP.AMPCOMPVOXMNFRIT123456780502818141021 24=73.51.8F-INPM-CH/RITENTBANDGENE9.AGCMWANFMETERNRNBEither “     ” or“     ” appears.±  Push and hold  A/B= for 1 sec. to set the undis-played VFO frequency and mode to the displayed VFO frequency •  3 beeps sound when the VFO equalization is completed.CONVENIENTUse two VFOs as a quick memoryWhen you find a new station, but you wish to con-tinue searching, the two VFO system can be used for quick memory storage.q  Push and hold  A/B= for 1 sec. to store the dis-played frequency into the undisplayed VFO.w Continue searching for stations.e Push  A/B= to retrieve the stored frequency.r  To continue searching for a station, push  A/B= again.Push and holdfor 1 sec.,then push              again.

967ANTENNA TUNER OPERATIONN Optional AT-180 AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER operationThe AT-180 automatic antenna tuner matches the IC-7200 to the connected antenna automatically. Once 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 point.NOTE: •  The AT-180 can match both HF and 50 MHz bands. However, operation is different for the HF and 50 MHz bands. •  When connecting the AT-180, the IC-7200’s out-put power must be more than 10 W. Otherwise, the AT-180 may not be tuned correctly. (AT-180’s minimum operating input power is 8 W.)CAUTION: NEVER transmit with the tuner ON when no antenna is connected. This will damage both the transceiver and antenna tuner.MODETUNERTSFILTERSPCHV/MA/BSPLITM-CLSCANSETATTP.AMPCOMPVOXMNFRIT123456780502818141021 24=73.51.8F-INPM-CH/RITENTBANDGENE9.AGCMWANFMETERNRNBTUNERD Tuner operation• For the HF band:Push  TUNER  to turn the tuner ON. The antenna is tuned automatically during transmission when the antenna SWR is higher than 1.5:1.• When the tuner is ON, “ ” indication appears.• For the 50 MHz band:Push and hold  TUNER  for 1 sec. to tune the antenna. If “ ” indicator blinks slowly while transmitting, push and hold  TUNER  for 1 sec. again to re-tune the antenna.D Manual tuningDuring SSB operation on HF bands at low voice lev-els, the AT-180 may not be tuned correctly. In such cases, manual tuning is helpful.Push and hold  TUNER  for 1 sec. to start manual tun-ing.•  When CW mode is selected, a side tone is emitted, and  “” indicator blinks; then, the previous mode is se-lected.If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1 after 20 sec. of tuning, “ ” indicator disap-pears. In this case, check the following:• the antenna connection and feedline•  the antenna SWR (p. 30; meter function, p 60; Measuring SWR)Through inhibit (HF bands only)The AT-180 has a through inhibit condition. When selecting this condition, the tuner can be used at poor SWR’s. In this case, automatic tuning in the HF bands activates only when exceeding SWR 3:1. Therefore, manual tuning is necessary each time you change the frequency. Although termed “through in-hibit,” the tuner will be set to the “through”  configura-tion if the SWR is higher than 3:1 after tuning.CONVENIENT• Tuner sensitive condition (HF bands only)If you require critical tuning at any time during trans-mission, select the tuner sensitive condition. See p. 68 for selection.• Automatic tuner start (HF bands only)If you want to turn OFF the tuner under conditions of VSWR 1.5:1 or less, use “automatic tuner on” and turn the tuner OFF. See p. 76 for the automatic tuner function.• PTT tune function (p. 76)The AT-180 is tuned when [PTT] is pushed after the frequency is changed (more than 1%) if the AT-180 is turned ON. This function removes the “push and hold TUNER  ” operation and activates first transmission on the new frequency.This function is turned ON in the set mode.

In this case, manual tun-ing is necessary each time you change the frequency although the tuner auto-matically starts tuning when the VSWR is higher than 3:1. This setting is called “through inhibit,” however, the tuner is set to “through” if the VSWR is higher than 3:1 after tuning.S2CTUNER SENSITIVE CONDITIONThe tuner tunes each time you transmit (except SSB mode). Therefore, the lowest SWR is obtained at any given time.For SSB mode, the same condition as the “D” position.D(default)NORMALThe tuner tunes when the SWR is higher than 1.5:1.

1794ABOUT CE123456789101112131415161718192021INSTALLATION NOTESFor amateur base station installations it is recom-mended that the forward clearance in front of the an-tenna array is calculated relative to the EIRP (Effec-tive Isotropic Radiated Power). The clearance height below the antenna array can be determined in most cases from the RF power at the antenna input termi-nals.As 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 MF installations is best considered in association with published guid-ance 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 installationExposure distance assumes that the predominant ra-diation pattern is forward and that radiation vertically downwards is at unity gain (sidelobe 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 a constant carrier.For the bands 10 MHz and higher the following power density limits have been recommended:  10–50 MHz   2 W/sq mVertical clearance by EIRP output 1 Watts 2.1 m  10 Watts   2.8 m 25 Watts 3.4 m 100 Watts 5 m 1000 Watts 12 mForward clearance by EIRP output 100 Watts 2 m 1000 Watts 6.5 m 10,000 Watts  20 m 100,000 Watts  65 mIn all cases any possible risk depends on the trans-mitter being activated for long periods. (actual recom-mendation 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 off the transmitter after 1–2 minutes etc.Similarly some modes of transmission, SSB, CW, AM etc. have a lower ‘average’ output power and the as-sessed risk is even lower.Versions of the IC-7200 which display the “CE” symbol on the serial number seal, comply with the essential requirements of the European Radio and Telecommunica-tion Terminal Directive 1999/5/EC.This warning symbol indicates that this equipment operates in non-harmonised frequency bands and/or may be subject to licensing conditions in the country of use.
