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 “

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. ??)

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.

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

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

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.

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.
When a signal disappears while scan is paused, scan resumes 2 sec. later.

N Automatic antenna selection
The transceiver covers 0.03–60 MHz over 10 bands.
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.

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.
[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.
