N Split frequency operationSplit frequency operation allows you to transmit and receive in the same mode on two different frequen-cies. 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.q Set 21.290 MHz (USB) in VFO mode.w  Push  [SPLIT] momentarily, then push and hold [CHANGE] for 1 sec. •  The quick split function is much more convenient for selecting the transmit frequency. See the next section for details. •  The equalized transmit frequency and “    ” appear on the LCD.  • [SPLIT] indicator lights. •  “   ” appears to show the transmit frequency read-out.e  Rotate the main dial while pushing [XFC] to set the transmit frequency to 21.310 MHz. •  The transmit frequency can be monitored while push-ing [XFC].r  Now you can receive on 21.290 MHz and transmit on 21.310 MHz.To change the transmit and receive frequencies, push [CHANGE] to exchange the main and sub readouts. CONVENIENT• Direct shift frequency inputThe 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 in advance.e  Push [SPLIT] to input the shift frequency in the sub readout and the split function is turned ON.• Dualwatch functionThe dualwatch function is convenient for tuning the transmit frequency while monitoring both frequencies used for transmitting and receiving.• Split lock function (p. ??)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.

N Quick split functionWhen you find a DX station, an important consider-ation is how to set the split frequency.When you push and hold the [SPLIT] switch for 1 sec., the split frequency operation is turned ON, and the sub readout frequency is equalized to the main readout frequency, then enters standby for transmit frequency input.This shortens the time needed to begin split fre-quency operation.The quick split function is ON by default. For your convenience, it can be turned OFF in others set mode.  (p. ??) In this case, the [SPLIT] switch does not equalize the main and sub readout frequencies.q  Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB) in VFO mode. w Push and hold [SPLIT] for 1 sec.  • Split frequency operation is turned ON. •  The sub readout is equalized to the main readout fre-quency. •  The sub readout enters standby for transmit frequency input and “   ” appears. •  During FM mode operation, the sub readout frequency shifts from the main readout frequency according to the  others set mode setting.e  Rotate the main dial to set the transmit frequency; or, input the transmit frequency using the keypad and [F-INP ENT]; or, input a shift frequency using the keypad and [SPLIT]. •  “   ” disappears when [F-INP ENT] is pushed.  • Offset frequency setting with the keypad and [SPLIT].  [Example]    To transmit on 1 kHz higher frequency:  - Push [1.8 1] then [SPLIT].    To transmit on 3 kHz lower frequency:  - Push [GENE •], [7 3] then [SPLIT].D Split lock functionThe split lock function is convenient for changing only the transmit frequency. When the split lock function is not used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotat-ing the main dial, changes the receive frequency. The split lock function is ON by default, but can be turned OFF in set mode. (p. ??)q  While split frequency operation is ON, push and hold  [SPEECH/LOCK] for 1 sec. to activate the split lock function.  • [LOCK] indicator lights.w  While pushing and holding [XFC], rotate the main dial to change the transmit frequency. •  If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating the main dial, the receive frequency does NOT change.Main dial[SPLIT] indicator KeypadXFCSPLITMain dial[LOCK] indicatorSPEECHLOCKXFC894RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT

N Memo padsThe transceiver has a memo pad function to store fre-quency and operating mode for easy writing and re-calling. 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. ??)Memo pads are convenient when you want to mem-orize 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.Use the transceiver’s memo pads instead of relying on hastily scribbled notes that are easily misplaced.MP-RMP-WD Writing frequencies and operating modes into memo padsYou can store the readout frequency and operating mode by pushing [MP-W].When you store the 6th frequency and operating mode, the oldest stored frequency and operating mode are automatically erased to make room for the new settings. Each memo pad must have its own unique combi-nation of frequency and operating mode; memo pads having identical settings cannot be written.MP-WNewestErasedOldestIn this example, 21.276 MHz (USB) will be erasedwhen 7.067 MHz (LSB) is written.D Calling up a frequency from a memo padYou can call up the desired frequency and operat-ing mode of a memo pad by pushing [MP-R] several times.• Both VFO and memory modes can be used.•  The frequency and operating mode are called up, starting from the most recently written.When you call up a frequency and an operating mode from memo pads with [MP-R], the previously dis-played frequency and operating mode are automat-ically stored in a temporary pad. The frequency and operating mode in the temporary pad can be recalled by pushing [MP-R] several times.•  You may think there are 6 memo pads because 6 different frequencies (5 are in memo pads and 1 is in the tempo-rary 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 tempo-rary pad are erased.MP-RNewestOldestMEMO PADSMP-R1046MEMORY OPERATION123456789101112131415161718192021

N Automatic antenna selectionThe transceiver covers 0.03–60 MHz over 10 bands. Each band key has a band memory which can mem-orize a selected antenna (ANT1, ANT2, ANT1/RX an-tenna and ANT2/RX antenna). When you change the operating frequency beyond a band, the previously used antenna is automatically selected. This function is convenient when you use 2 or 3 antennas.To use the band memory, enter set mode and con-firm that “Auto” is selected as the [ANT] switch item. (p. ??)• Antenna selection mode: “Auto” (default)The antenna tuner ON/OFF condition is also memo-rized in the band memory.[Example]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to [ANT1], a 21/28/50 MHz antenna is connected to [ANT2]. When the antenna selector function is set to “Auto,” an antenna is automatically selected when the transceiver changes bands.• Antenna selection mode: “Manual”[ANT] (MF1) functions, however, band memory does not function. In this case, you must select an antenna manually.Under the following conditions, “Manual” should be selected as the [ANT] switch set mode item.- When using 1 antenna.-  When using an external antenna selector for more than 3 antennas (except for receive antenna).- When using an external antenna tuner.NOTE: When “Auto” or “Manual” is selected, the antenna tuner ON/OFF condition is consistent with [ANT] (MF1).• Antenna selection mode: “OFF”[ANT] (MF1) does not function and [ANT1] is always selected.3.5/7 MHzbands21/28/50 MHzbandsRXonlyANT1 ANT2RX ANTINANT8112ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION123456789101112131415161718192021
• Automatic tumer 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 func-tion and turn the tuner OFF. This function activates the tuner automatically when the SWR exceeds 1.5:1.This function is controlled in set mode. (p. ??).• PTT tuner startThe 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. ??).• Antenna tuner of the IC-PW1/EUROWhen using an external antenna tuner such as the IC-PW1/EURO’s tuner, tune with the external an-tenna tuner, while the internal tuner is turned OFF. After tuning is completed, turn the internal tuner ON. Otherwise, both tuners tune simultaneously and cor-rect tuning may not be obtained.See the instruction manual included with each an-tenna tuner for their respective operations.N Antenna tuner operationThe internal automatic antenna tuner matches the transceiver to the connected antenna automatically. After the tuner matches an antenna, the variable capac-itor 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. For your convenienceWhen you purchase a brand-new antenna, or you want to change the antenna settings, you can erase the all of the internal antenna tuner preset points with “Tuner Preset Memory Clear” in others set mode. (p. ??)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, the indicator on the switch lights green • While tuning, the indicator on the switch blinks.D Manual tuningDuring SSB operation at low voice levels, the internal tuner may not automatically tune correctly. In such cases, manual tuning is helpful.±  Push and hold [TUNER] for 1 sec., to start man-ual tuning. •  A side tone is emitted and the indicator on the switch blinks red while tuning. •  If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1 after 20 sec. of tuning, the indicator on the switch goes out.NOTES:•  NEVER transmit without an antenna properly con-nected to antenna port in use.•  When 2 antennas are connected, select the an-tenna to be used with [ANT] (MF1).•  If the SWR is higher than about 1.5:1 when tun-ing farther than 100 kHz from an antenna’s pro-grammed 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.When you purchase a brand-new antenna, or you want to change the antenna settings, you can erase the all of the internal antenna tuner preset points with “Tuner Preset Memory Clear” in others set mode.

(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 Ω dummy load and re-tune the an-tenna.• turn power OFF and ON.•  adjust the antenna feedline length. (This is effective for higher frequencies in some cases.)M Tuning a narrow bandwidth antennaSome antennas, especially for the low bands, have a narrow bandwidth. These antennas may not be tuned beyond the edge of their operating bandwidth, there-fore, 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.

N GeneralThe IC-7600’s firmware can be updated if desired. By updating the firmware, new function(s) can be added and the improvement of performance parameters can be obtained. 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 capabil-ities.•  When only one PC connected to the Internet is available ±  Refer to N Preparation  (p. ??) and N Firmware update— USB-Memory (p. ??)•  When two or more PCs connected to the Internet are available and they are connected to a LAN (Local Area Network) ±  Refer to N Preparation (p. ??) and either N Firmware update— PC (p. ??) or N Firmware update— USB-Memory (p. ??)Ask your dealer or distributor about how to update the firmware if you have no PC.N CautionR 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 firm-ware 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.At least one available USB (2.0 or 1.1) port is required to copy the downloaded firmware file (USB hub may be required).The USB hub is not supplied by Icom.Ask your PC dealer about a USB for details.14161UPDATING THE FIRMWARE123456789101112131415161718192021

15165CE123456789101112131415161718192021INSTALLATION 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-7600 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.• List of Country codes (ISO 3166-1)Country Codes Country Codes1234567891011121314151617AustriaBelgiumBulgariaCroatiaCzech RepublicCyprusDenmarkEstoniaFinlandFranceGermanyGreeceHungaryIcelandIrelandItalyLatviaATBEBGHRCZCYDKEEFIFRDEGRHUISIEITLV18192021222324252627282930313233LiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMaltaNetherlandsNorwayPolandPortugalRomaniaSlovakiaSloveniaSpainSwedenSwitzerlandTurkeyUnited KingdomLILTLUMTNLNOPLPTROSKSIESSECHTRGB
