Icom launch IC-756PROIII at
Leicester Amateur Radio Show

Making its debut at the Leicester Amateur Radio show is the latest transceiver in the IC-756PRO series.

The IC-756PROIII incorporates many of the features that made its predecessors so successful. However, the integration of the latest technology employed in the IC-7800 such as receiver technology, +30dBm class IP3, miniscope makes this new rig the very pinnacle of the IC-756PRO series.

New Features
- Improved Third Order Intercept point of +30dBm (IC-756PROII IP3 was about +22dBm)
- Same ‘Mini-scope’ function adopted from the IC-7800
- SSB Tx bandwidth can be adjusted for both high and low band, not just WIDE/MID/NAR
- Improved BPF and 1st filter for reduced distortion
- Pre-amp changed to a noiseless feedback type to reduce 2nd order distortion
- Saturation characteristics of mixer and surrounding circuits improved
- Clock function has been added. Displays local time, UTC time etc.
- Screensaver function for prolonging LCD life and reducing ‘burn in’ effect.

Features Retained from IC-756PROII
- 32-bit floating point DSP with 24-bit AD/DA converter
- 51 types of pass band widths can be freely set
- Soft and Sharp filter shapes to suit the user’s operation or band conditions
- RTTY demodulator/decoder
