Icom to Release the IC-7600 HF+50MHz Transceiver

March 9, 2009 - PRLog -- The IC-7600 features the same level of receiver performance as the top of the range IC-7700/7800 transceivers. Its three first IF roofing filters (3kHz, 6kHz and 15kHz) allow you to pull out a weak signal while blocking strong adjacent signals.

The double super-heterodyne receiving system improves the in-band IMD (Inter Modulation Distortion) significantly over the IC-756PROIII. In addition, the performance of the spectrum scope is first class thanks to the specially dedicated DSP.

Here are just some of the IC-7600's main features:

o Dual DSP for transmit/receive and spectrum scope
o 104dB dynamic range, +30dBm 3rd order intercept point in HF bands
o Double conversion super-heterodyne system
o Two 32-bit floating point DSP units (One for the transmit/receiver, one for the spectrum scope)
o Three 1st IF (roofing) filters (3kHz, 6kHz, 15kHz)
o 5.8-inch ultra wide viewing angle TFT display
o USB keyboard and USB flash drive connection
o PSK and RTTY encoder/decoder built-in (PC and software is not required)

Ian Lockyer, Marketing Manager of Icom UK Ltd said, 'There has been a lot of excitement about the IC-7600 since we showcased it at the Leicester show last year.  I am sure that this model will be greatly received by Amateur Radio operators with its improved digital, software, receiver performance, functionality and user-friendliness.'

It is expected that the IC-7600 will be in stock by the end of March.  Pricing is still to be confirmed.
