IC-7760: New Innovative Shack-Style Control Head with RF Deck
Osaka, Japan (August 2024)—Icom Inc. proudly announces the release of the IC-7760, a 200W HF/50 MHz amateur transceiver. Initial deliveries are planned for around November 2024. To commemorate Icom's 60th Anniversary, a special 60th Anniversary logo plate is included with the IC-7760 as a special offer for the first 200 units shipped internationally.
The IC-7760 offers a new innovative shack style consisting of a full control head with a 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 for remote operation. This simple configuration does not require a PC and can be easily operated anywhere in the home as long as a LAN connection is available.
Main and sub-dual displays with touchscreen functions are provided for improved visibility of information and smooth operation. The 7-inch main display centralizes information necessary for operation, such as Main and 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. It combines 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.
