The Icom IC-7700 Base Station HF Transceiver is a remarkable addition to the Icom line-up, positioned between the IC-756PROIII and the IC-7800. This advanced HF/6m transceiver boasts various features that enhance its performance. One of its key attributes is the dual DSP units, akin to those in the IC-7800, with one dedicated to the transmitter and receiver while the other manages the spectrum scope. The transceiver delivers a robust 200W output through its MOSFET PA, ensuring reliability even at complete duty cycle.

Designed for serious operators, the IC-7700’s single HF receiver is a strategic advantage, providing uncompromised RX performance at a competitive price. Its capability to easily integrate with existing equipment, such as the IC-756Pro3, makes it an ideal choice for contest stations. The built-in automatic tracking RF preselector and high-speed automatic antenna tuner enhance its strong signal performance across HF and 6m bands. The precision TOCXO also ensures exceptional frequency stability, making it suitable for casual and professional use.

The user experience is further enriched by a 7″ colour TFT LCD that features a simulated analogue multi-function meter and a rear-panel VGA socket for external monitors. The IC-7700 includes a multi-function spectrum scope with adjustable resolution bandwidth, allowing for detailed spectral analysis. With built-in capabilities for RTTY/PSK31 operation and a digital voice recorder, this transceiver meets the needs of modern operators, making it a versatile choice for both portable and fixed station setups.
