NEW IC-7760 HF/50 MHz 200W Transceiver

Video:YouTube/Icom Inc.

New radio from Icom - The IC-7760 HF/50MHz 200 watt transceiver 



The IC-7760 is a 200 W HF/50 MHz Amateur radio transceiver. The IC-7760 offers a new “innovative shack style” consisting of a full control head with separate RF deck, connected through a control cable for greater installation flexibility. The supplied control cable is 3 m (9.8 ft) long and by using a commercially available LAN cable, the RF deck can be installed in a more remote location. Furthermore, the control head and RF deck can be connected through a wired home LAN connection for remote operation. This simple configuration does not require a PC, and can be easily operated from nearly anywhere in the home as long as a LAN connection is available.


Main and Sub dual displays with touch screen function are provided for improved viewing of information and also smooth operation. The 7-inch main display centralises information important for operation, such as Main/Sub frequencies and the setting/operating status of each function. The newly adopted 2.4-inch sub-display shows filter effects, various meters, and band stacking register keys.


DIGI-SEL (Digital Pre-selector) and the preamp can now be used together. DIGI-SEL prevents suppression of strong out-of-band signals, while the preamp improves receiver sensitivity. It also maximizes the dynamic range of the A/D converter to avoid signal overflow.


The IC-7760 offers a new Innovative Shack Style, combining 200 W of high output power with clean signal transmission assisted by the Digital Pre-Distortion feature, and convenient functions to support comfortable operation, making it ideal for contests and DX hunting.


Main Features


• Full control head with separate RF deck for greater installation flexibility*1
• Supports in-house remote operation through a wired LAN *1
• Two displays, 7-inch wide and 2.4-inch, with touch screen operation
• DIGI-SEL and the preamp can work at the same time
• Advanced RF direct sampling system using FPGA processing
• 200 W full power and full duty *2
• DPD (Digital Pre-Distortion) for excellent IMD characteristics and clean transmitted signals

NEW RADIO: Yaesu FTX-1F

 


Yaesu have announced a new radio in the shape of the Yaesu FTX-1F.

AND... There's already a Facebook group: CLICK HERE

 

The new FTX-1F is a portable transceiver utilizing SDR technology and provides 6W of power output with the 5670mAh Lithium-ion battery pack (Which enables 9-hours stand-alone operating time on the HF bands, SSB mode, and 8-hours operating time on the V/UHF bands, FM mode based on a 6-6-48 duty cycle). Up to 10W of power output is available when using an external DC power supply.

  • FTX-1F – True All-Rounder
  • HF/50/144/430MHz All Mode Field Transceiver
  • Providing stand-alone 9-hours of operation

A number of the fundamental and remarkable features of the new FTX-1F are:

  • Operation in SSB, CW, AM, FM and C4FM digital modes
  • SDR Technology and 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream) on a 4.3-inch high-resolution full-color touch display 
    panel 
  • Two independent receiver circuits provide true simultaneous dual-band operation, whether in the same band or in 
    different bands. For example: SSB communication on HF bands simultaneously with C4FM digital communication 
    on V/UHF bands (*HF+V, HF+U, V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V)
  • Two Loud speakers ensure clear and powerful audio output
  • An optional Automatic Antenna Tuner can be attached to the rear of the transceiver with the 5670mAh high-capacity 
    Li-ion battery pack. The optional Cooling-fan, which is necessary for comfortable FT8 operation, can also be 
    combined with the antenna tuner. (All-in-one rear panel design)
  • RF front-end and Low Noise Reference Oscillator, enable Phenomenal Multi-signal Receiving characteristics
  • Effective QRM rejection afforded via High-speed 32-bit IF DSP (YAESU’s renowned interference reduction 
    systems: SHIFT / WIDTH / NOTCH / CONTROUR / APF / DNR / NB)
  • Compatible with WiRES-X operation
  • PMG (Primary Memory Group) function can register and monitor up to 5 frequently used frequencies 
  • MAG (Memory Auto Grouping) function enables Memory Channels to be categorized in each band that can be 
    quickly recalled by band groups (HF/VHF/UHF/AIR/OTHERS)
  • USB ports support CAT operation, audio input/output and TX control
    The new FTX-1F will be available early 2025. Please be ready for this forthcoming exciting new radio!

Price TBC

The new FTX-1F will be available early 2025.
