CHANGE XFC Main dial • When the split function ON • When [XFC] is pushed r Now you can receive on 21.290 MHz and transmit on 21.310 MHz. • 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 function The 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. (p. ??) To change the transmit and receive frequencies, push [CHANGE] to exchange the main and sub readouts. 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. e Rotate the main dial while pushing [XFC] to set the transmit frequency to 21.310 MHz. • The transmit frequency can be monitored while pushing [XFC]. • The split frequency operation is ready 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 88 4 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT N 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., 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 frequency 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] indicator • Split frequency operation is turned ON. • The sub readout is equalized to the main readout frequency. • 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. SPLIT XFC Keypad Main dial 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 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. ??) [LOCK] indicator Main dial 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. 89 XFC SPEECH LOCK VOICE RECORDER FUNCTIONS N About digital voice recorder The IC-7600 has digital voice memories, up to 4 messages for transmit, and up to 20 messages for receive.

MEMORY OPERATION N Memo pads The transceiver has a memo pad function to store frequency and operating mode for easy writing and recalling. 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 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-W 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 Newest 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 combination of frequency and operating mode; memo pads having identical settings cannot be written. Oldest Erased 11 In this example, 21.276 MHz (USB) will be erased when 7.067 MHz (LSB) is written. 12 D Calling up a frequency from a memo pad 13 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. 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. • 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. 10 Newest 14 15 16 17 18 MP-R Oldest MEMO PADS 19 20 21 104 7 SCANS N Scan types • The scan function can be used on the main readout only. • You can perform a scan while operating on a frequency using the dualwatch or split functions.

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 resume ON/OFF You can select the scan to resume or cancel when detecting a signal in scan set mode. Scan resume ON/ OFF must be set before performing a scan. See p. ?? for ON/OFF setting and scan resume condition details. • Scan speed Scan speed can be selected from 2 levels, high or low, in scan set mode. See p. ?? for details. 105 • Squelch condition M Scan starts with squelch open For programmed scan: When tuning step is 1 kHz or less: The scan continues until it is stopped manually— it does not pause* even if signals are detected. * The scan is paused when the squelch is closed and then opened (scan resumes after 10 sec. has passed when the scan resume is ON; scan is cancelled when the scan resume is OFF). When tuning step is more than 5 kHz: The scan pauses on each step when the scan resume is ON; not applicable when the scan resume is OFF. For memory scan: Scan pauses on each channel when the scan resume is ON; not applicable when the scan resume is OFF. M Scan starts with squelch closed Scan stops when a signal is detected. • If the scan resume is set to ON in scan set mode, the scan pauses for 10 sec. when detecting a signal, then resumes.

Each band key has a band memory which can memorize a selected antenna (ANT1, ANT2, ANT1/RX antenna 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 confirm that “Auto” is selected as the [ANT] switch item. (p. ??) • Antenna selection mode: “Auto” (default) The antenna tuner ON/OFF condition is also memorized 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. RX only 3.5/7 MHz 21/28/50 MHz bands bands ANT1 RX ANT IN • 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. ANT2 ANT 10 11 NOTE: When “Auto” or “Manual” is selected, the antenna tuner ON/OFF condition is consistent with [ANT] (MF1). 12 • Antenna selection mode: “OFF” [ANT] (MF1) does not function and [ANT1] is always selected. 14 13 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 112 8 ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION N Antenna tuner operation The internal automatic antenna tuner matches the transceiver to the connected antenna automatically. 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. For your convenience 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. (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 NOTES: • NEVER transmit without an antenna properly connected to antenna port in use. • When 2 antennas are connected, select the antenna to be used with [ANT] (MF1). • If the SWR is higher than about 1.5:1 when tuning farther than 100 kHz from an antenna’s programmed 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. (p. ??) TUNER • While tuning, the indicator on the switch blinks. D Manual tuning During 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 manual 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. • 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 function 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. ??). • Antenna tuner of the IC-PW1/EURO When using an external antenna tuner such as the IC-PW1/EURO’s tuner, tune with the external antenna tuner, while the internal tuner is turned OFF. After tuning is completed, turn the internal tuner ON. Otherwise, both tuners tune simultaneously and correct tuning may not be obtained. 113 • 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. ??). See the instruction manual included with each antenna tuner for their respective operations. ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION ■ Optional external tuner operation • AH-4 HF AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER The AH-4 matches the IC-7600 to a long wire antenna more than 7 m/23 ft long (3.5 MHz and above). • See p. ?? for the transceiver and AH-4 connection. • See the AH-4 instruction manual for AH-4 installation and antenna connection details. When connecting the AH-4, the antenna connector assignments are [ANT2] for the internal tuner and [ANT1] for the AH-4. The antenna indicator in the LCD displays “ANT1(EXT)” when the AH-4 is connected and selected. • AH-4 operation AH-4 setting example: For mobile operation Optional AH-2b antenna element For outdoor operation Long wire 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 or 50 MHz band for use with the AH-4. • The AH-4 will not operate on frequencies outside of ham bands. w Push [TUNER] for 1 sec. • The indicator on the switch blinks while tuning. TUNER 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 not grounded. Transmitting before tuning may damage the transceiver. Note that the AH-4 cannot tune when using a ½λ long wire or multiple of the operating frequency. e The indicator on the switch lights constantly when tuning is complete. • When the connected wire cannot be tuned, the indicator on the switch goes out and the AH-4 is bypassed. At that point the antenna wire connection is to the transceiver directly, and not via the AH-4 antenna tuner. r To bypass the AH-4 manually, push [TUNER]. M 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. M Tuning a narrow bandwidth antenna Some antennas, especially for the low bands, have a narrow bandwidth. These antennas may not be tuned beyond the edge of their operating bandwidth, therefore, tune such an antenna as follows: 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 antenna. • turn power OFF and ON. • adjust the antenna feedline length. (This is effective for higher frequencies in some cases.) q Push [TUNER] to turn the antenna tuner ON. w Select CW mode. e Turn OFF the break-in function. (p. ??) r Push [TRANSMIT] to set to the transmit condition. t Set 3.55 MHz and key down. y Set 3.80 MHz and key down. u Push [TRANSMIT] to return to the receive condition.
