Icom to release the IC-7600 HF+50MHz transceiver

Icom announces the forthcoming launch of the IC-7600 HF+50MHz transceiver. The IC-7600 is the successor to the very successful IC-756PRO3.

The new IC-7600 has been enhanced with some of the main features of Icom's flagship models IC-7700/7800 which are highly regarded by HF operators world-wide.

STOP PRESS..  To celebrate the launch of the IC-7600 HF+50MHz Transceiver, Icom UK will be giving a free USB Black keyboard with each IC-7600 sold, for a limited time only!

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.

• Dual DSP for transmit/receive and spectrum scope
• 104dB dynamic range, +30dBm 3rd order intercept point in HF bands
• Double conversion super-heterodyne system
• Two 32-bit floating point DSP units (One for the transmit/receiver, one for the spectrum scope)
• Three 1st IF (roofing) filters (3kHz, 6kHz, 15kHz)
• 5.8-inch ultra wide viewing angle TFT display
• High resolution spectrum scope
• USB keyboard and USB flash drive connection
• 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.
