A powerful 6 W (typical) power amplifier circuit provides superior transmit output
on both the VHF and UHF bands when 13.5 V DC is supplied. When the BP-173 is connected,
the IC-T7H provides 5 W (typical) of output. In addition, a full 500 mW (typical)
of AF is output from the transceiver's speaker - audio that's easy to copy even
in noisy environments.
Meets strict MIL standards, yet is compact
The IC-T7H is durably constructed for reliable operation you can count on in the
most demanding environments. In fact, it meets MIL-STD requirements and strict environmental
standards for shock and vibration (MIL 810C, D, E). And its compact dimensions of
57(W) × 122(H) × 29(D) mm* mean
you can comfortably carry it around in a small bag or even your shirt pocket!
*21⁄4 (W) × 413⁄16
(H) × 11⁄8 (D) in.
Simple operation
A simple band switching system, single push action and thumb-touch lock switches
make operation straight-forward and convenient__even for beginners. And,
priority watch allows you to monitor a specified frequency: you can monitor a frequency
on the same band or a different band, similar to dualwatch on other transceivers.
Built-in tone squelch system
A separate CTCSS tone encoder and CTCSS tone encoder/decoder are standard and provide
50 independently programmable tone frequencies (38 standard EIA tones and 12 others
for even quieter standby) for repeater and tone squelch use, respectively. In addition,
tone scan and pocket beep functions are available. The tone scan function allows
you to easily find the subaudible tone needed to access a repeater or to decode
a tone squelch signal; the pocket beep function acts like a 'common pager' and alerts
you when a matched CTCSS tone frequency is received.
