Built with the VHF/UHF weak signal operator in mind, the IC-9700 is an RF direct sampling receiver for 2m and 70cm. The IF receiver consists of a single, down conversion for 23cm that is between 311 – 371MHz. This design provides a quiet receiver due to Icom’s DSP technology. The robust PA provides 100W on 2m, 75W on 70cm, and 10W on 23cm.

A new release of an old favorite (Icom IC-910H) VHF/UHF All Mode Base Station. Wow - Well worth the long wait! Very nice Icom! Time Owned: more than 12 months. Still use it also for the QO-100 Geostatonary Satellite. Works like a charm. Added GPSDO for 100% stability. No issues so far, like that TRX very much!

When I purchased the TYT9800 I wanted the options of a dual band (at least) and a large number of memory channels (scanning and ease of access). I am a cross country truck driver operating in all 48 mainland states. Five years into the 9800 I am happy to say I have only replaced a mic from worn top buttons.

Specifically built for the VHF/UHF weak signal operator in mind, the IC-9700 is a RF direct sampling receiver for 2m and 70cm, with a single, down conversion for 23cm with an IF Sampled receiver between 311 – 371MHz.

The Icom’s Digital Expertise RF Direct Sampling, for 144 MHz and 430/440 MHz, is utilized in the IC-9700. For 1200 MHz, the Down Conversion IF Sampling method is adopted. In this system, signals are digitized by the ADC and processed in the FPGA.

The Icom IC-9700 all-mode tribander for 2 meters, 70 centimeters, and 23 centimeters is a game changer. It is based on SDR (software-defined radio) technology, with direct RF sam-pling on 2 meters and 70 centimeters. On 23 centimeters, it uses downcon-version IF sampling. There are many reasons why the ham com-
