Following the success of the IC-7300, ICOM continues its momentum and launches the new high-end transceiver that replaces the already excellent IC-7600.
Innovative RF direct sampling system
Achieves 110 dB* (typical) RMDR
The RF direct sampling system directly converts analog signals
into digital signals and subjects the data to FPGA
(Field Programmable Gate Array) processing. The master clock uses a
high-precision oscillator that excels in low-noise characteristics.
This allows
it to deliver superior reception
and transmission performance,
extremely low phase noise,
and a
high RMDR (Reciprocal Mixing Dynamic Range).
* With a 2 kHz frequency separation.
Independent dual receiver
Receives two bands simultaneously
The sub-receiver operates independently of the main receiver. The
dual receiver is perfect for simultaneously monitoring two bands and
two modes. Independent AF/RF knobs for the main and sub bands
improve usability.
The DIGI-SEL preselector firmly excludes
interference signals
Both the main and sub receivers are equipped
with DIGI-SEL (digital preselector) units.
The DIGI-SEL has steeper skirt characteristics
than normal band-pass filters, so it
rejects strong out-of-band interference
such as from broadcast stations, and prevents
cross-modulation.
High-speed, high-resolution real-time spectrum scope
The IC-7610's real-time spectrum scope shows the conditions of the main and
sub-band. It offers category-leading performance in terms of resolution,
sweep speed, and a dynamic range of 100 dB. The waterfall display
allows you to locate weak signals by showing the variation
of the spectrum over time. The audio scope function shows the FFT
oscillator and the oscilloscope.
7-inch color display
with touch screen function
The large 7-inch color display shows various operating and setting information
at a glance in high resolution (800 × 480 pixels).
The combination of the touch screen and the multi-function control knob offers smooth, intuitive, and fast operation.
