FCC INFORMATION
• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful in-
terference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency en-
ergy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guaran-
tee that interference will not occur in a particular in-
stallation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-
ference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution
should be observed when operating this device. If
you have any questions regarding RF exposure and
safety standards please refer to the Federal Com-
munications Commission Office of Engineering and
Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with
FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electro-
magnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an
antenna or internal antenna connector during trans-
mission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver
while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full
attention—anything less may result in an accident.
R NEVER apply AC power to the [DC13.8V] socket
on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire
or damage the transceiver.
R NEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V
battery, to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver
rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the
transceiver.
R NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any
internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the
transceiver. This may result in an electric shock or this
could cause a fire or damege the transceiver.
R NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or
any liquids.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicle’s
dashboard can exceed +80°C (+176°F), resulting in
permanent damage to the transceiver if left there for
extended periods.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put
anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct
heat dissipation.
Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use
by children.
During mobile operation, NEVER place the trans-
ceiver where air bag deployment may be obstructed.
During mobile operation, DO NOT place the trans-
ceiver where hot or cold air blows directly onto it.
During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the trans-
ceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. When the
transceiver’s power is ON and your vehicle’s engine
is OFF, the vehicle’s battery will quickly become ex-
hausted.
Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before start-
ing the vehicle engine. This will avoid possible dam-
age to the transceiver by ignition voltage spikes.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the trans-
ceiver and microphone as far away as possible from
the magnetic navigation compass to prevent errone-
ous indications.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when
operating the transceiver continuously for long peri-
ods.
BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set
the transceiver’s RF output power to less than the
linear amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the
linear amplifier will be damaged.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional).
Other manufacturer’s microphones have different pin
assignments, and connection to the IC-7200 may
damage the transceiver.
For U.S.A. only
Caution: Changes or modifications to this trans-
ceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could
void your authority to operate this transceiver under
FCC regulations.

q PASSBAND TUNING CONTROLS [TWIN PBT]
Adjust the receiver’s DSP filter passband width.
(p. 46)
• The limit of the variable range depends on the pass-
band width and mode. The limit of the variable range
is half of the passband width, and PBT is adjustable in
25 Hz steps.
What is the PBT control?
Generally, the PBT electronically narrows the IF
passband width to reject interference. This trans-
ceiver uses the DSP circuit for the PBT function.

Unpacking
After 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 location
Select 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.
Stand
N
Grounding
To 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 connection
For 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 SWR
Each 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
.

Battery connections
• RWARNING NEVER connect to a battery
without supplying a DC fuse, otherwise a fire
hazard occurs.
• NEVER connect the transceiver to a 24 V
battery.
The transceiver may not receive well on some
frequencies when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or
any type of electric vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This
is because vehicle’s electric components such as
the inverter system generate a lot of electric
noise.
•
DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a power
source when operating in a vehicle. The plug may
cause voltage drops and ignition noise may be
superimposed onto transmit or receive audio.
• Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC
power cable through a metal plate to prevent a
short circuit.
The IC-7200 is not certified for vehicle installation
in European countries.

CONNECTING A NON-ICOM LINEAR AMPLIFIER
R WARNING:
• Set the transceiver output power and linear am-
plifier ALC output level by referring to the linear
amplifier instruction manual. Be sure the linear
amplifier keying circuit control voltage is compat-
ible with the IC-7200, before connecting to the
[SEND] connector.
• The ALC input level must be in the range +0 V to
–4 V, and the transceiver does not accept posi-
tive voltage. Non-matched ALC and RF power
settings could cause a fire or damage the linear
amplifier.
The IC-7200 SEND line is rated at 16 V/200 mA
DC. If this level is exceeded, a larger external
relay must be used.

N VFO description
VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscilla-
tor, and traditionally refers to an oscillator.
The IC-7200 VFO can store a frequency and an oper-
ating mode.
You can call up a desired frequency to the VFO with
the keypad or the memory copy function (see p. 63).
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.

D Differences between VFO mode and memory mode
VFO MODE
Each VFO shows a frequency and operating mode.
If the frequency or operating mode is changed, the
VFO automatically memorizes the new frequency or
operating mode.
When the VFO is selected from another VFO or
memory mode, the last used frequency and operat-
ing mode for that VFO appears.
[EXAMPLE]
Changed frequency (14.123 MHz) does not appear and
memorized frequency (14.100 MHz) appears instead.

MEMORY MODE (pgs. 61–64)
Each memory channel shows a frequency and op-
erating mode like a VFO. Even if the frequency or
mode is changed, the memory channel does not
memorize the new frequency or operating mode.
When the memory channel is selected from another
memory channel or VFO mode, the memorized
frequency and operating mode appear even if the
memory channel settings, frequency and mode, are
changed before selecting another memory channel
or VFO mode.

N Selecting an operating band
The transceiver has a band stacking register. This
function automatically memorizes the last operating
frequency and mode used on a particular band.
This is convenient for contest operation.
See the table below for a list of the bands availa-
ble and the default settings for each register. And to
send or read the desired band stacking register’s con-
tents, a combination of the frequency band and reg-
ister codes as follows are used with the CI-V system.
(p. 88)
For example, when sending/reading the oldest con-
tents in the 21 MHz band, the code “07” is used.

N RF gain and Squelch
N Meter function
The [RF/SQL] control adjusts the RF gain and
squelch threshold level. The squelch stops noise out-
put from the speaker (closed position) when no sig-
nal is received.
• The 12 o’clock position is recommended for any setting
of the [RF/SQL] control.
• The [RF/SQL] control can be set as the RF gain control
only (squelch is fixed open) or squelch control (RF gain is
fixed at maximum) in the set mode (p. 75). See the table
as below.

position.
Rotate the [RF/SQL] control to the 11 o’clock posi-
tion for maximum sensitivity.

terclockwise to decrease the receiver sensitivity.
• The S-meter indicates receive sensitivity.
M Adjusting squelch (Removing non-signal noise)
Rotate the [RF/SQL] control clockwise until the noise
just disappears when no signal is being received.
• “ ” disappears.
• Rotate the [RF/SQL] control past the threshold point in-
vokes the S-meter squelch— this allows you to set the

N Basic transmit operation
Before transmitting, monitor your selected oper-
ating frequency to make sure transmitting won’t
cause interference to other stations on the same
frequency.
It’s good Amateur practice to listen first. On the
HF bands, even if nothing is heard, ask “is the
frequency in use” once or twice, before you begin
operating on that frequency.

D About 5 MHz band operation (USA version only)
Operation on the 5 MHz band is allowed on 5 dis-
crete frequencies and must adhere to the following:
• USB mode
• Maximum of 50 watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power)
• 2.8 kHz bandwidth
It is the operator’s responsibility to set all controls so
that the transmission in this band meets the stringent
conditions under which we may use these frequen-
cies.
NOTE: We recommend that you store these fre-
quencies, mode and filter settings into the mem-
ory channel for easy recall.

N Twin PBT operation
The general PBT (Passband Tuning) function elec-
tronically narrows the IF passband width by shifting
the IF frequency slightly outside of the IF filter pass-
band to reject interference. This transceiver uses the
DSP circuit for the PBT function. Moving both controls
to the same position shifts the IF.
The limit of the variable range depends on the pass-
band width and mode. The limit of the variable range
is half of the passband width, and PBT is adjustable
in 25 Hz steps.

The transceiver has 201 memory channels including
2 scan edge channels.
Memory mode is very useful for quickly changing to
often-used frequencies.

ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION
N Optional AT-180 AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER operation
The 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.

D 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 tuning
During 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.

A
(default)
The tuner operating condition is set by
S2 described below.
BTHROUGH INHIBIT
The tuner tunes the antenna even when
the antenna has poor SWR (up to VSWR
3:1 after tuning). 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.
S2
CTUNER SENSITIVE CONDITION
The 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)
NORMAL
The tuner tunes when the SWR is higher
than 1.5:1. Therefore, the tuner activates
only when tuning is necessary.

antenna element
R DANGER!: HIGH VOLTAGE!
NEVER touch the antenna element while tuning or
transmitting.
NEVER operate the AH-4 without an antenna wire.
The tuner and transceiver will be damaged.
NEVER operate the AH-4 when it is ungrounded.
Transmitting before tuning may damage the trans-
ceiver. Note that the AH-4 cannot tune when using a
1⁄2λ long wire or on a multiple of that frequency.
D AH-4 operation
Tuning is required for each frequency. Be sure to
re-tune the antenna before transmitting when you
change the frequency—even slightly.
q Set the desired frequency in an HF band.
• The AH-4 will not operate on frequencies outside of
ham bands.
w Push and hold TUNER for 1 sec.
• “ ” indicator blinks while tuning.
e “ ” indicator is still ON after the tuning is
completed.
• When the connected wire cannot be tuned, “ ”
indicator goes out, and the AH-4 is bypassed and the
antenna wire is connected to the antenna connector
on the transceiver directly.
r To bypass the AH-4 manually, push TUNER .
• “ ” indicator goes out.
Appears when the antenna tuner ON.
Blinks while tuning.
CONVENIENT
• PTT tune function (p. 76)
The AH-4 is always tuned when [PTT] is pushed
after the frequency is changed (more than 1%). This
function removes the “push and hold TUNER ” op-
eration and activates first transmission on the new
frequency.
This function is turned ON in the set mode.

INSTALLATION NOTES
For 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 installation
Exposure 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 m
Vertical 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 m
Forward clearance by EIRP output
100 Watts 2 m
1000 Watts 6.5 m
10,000 Watts 20 m
100,000 Watts 65 m
In 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.
Be sure to check that you have the correct
version of this radio or the correct pro-
gramming of this radio, to comply with na-
tional licensing requirement.
