PREFACE
Thank you for choosing the IC-7850/IC-7851. The IC-7850/IC-7851 has many
built-in high technology circuitry and unique functions, such as the Dualwatch
on the Main and Sub bands, a high speed spectrum scope scan, a high-reso-
lution waterfall screen, and many other outstanding features.
The internal frequency signals in a radio utilizing a PLL are not always suf-
ficiently pure. This results in a considerable number of unwanted spurious
components, called phase noise, in its frequency spectrum. We focused inten-
sively in drastically reducing the phase noise of LO (Local Oscillator) because
the phase noise degrades the interference rejection and noise characteristics
of the receiver. As a result, we succeeded in developing an LO with high pu-
rity outputs so that results in an RMDR (Reciprocal Mixing Dynamic Range)
of 110 dB with newly developed 1.2 kHz Optimum Roofing Filter. Currently no
competitors have been able to achieve this extremely high result performance.
We believe we would not have been able to exceed the standard specifica-
tions without our full focus on LO purity.
In addition, Icom that has chosen to base the IC-7850/IC-7851 on an up-
conversion, double super-heterodyne receiver design, which has many advan-
tages over traditional receiver designs.
We are proud to have developed the IC-7850/IC-7851 for your amateur radio
activities, and hope it brings you years of enjoyable operation.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the IC-7850/IC-
7851.

PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER
attach an antenna or internal antenna connector
during transmission. This may result in an electrical
shock or burn.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver
with a headset or other audio accessories at high
volume levels. The continuous high volume operation
may cause a ringing in your ears. If you experience
the ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue
use.
R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the
transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an elec-
tric shock or damage to the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other ob-
jects protrude into the transceiver or into connectors
on the rear panel.
This may result in an electric shock.
R WARNING! Immediately turn the transceiver
power OFF and remove the power cable if it emits an
abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom
dealer or distributor for advice.
CAUTION: NEVER put the transceiver in any un-
stable place (such as on a slanted surface or vibrated
place). This may cause injury and/or damage to the
transceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER put the transceiver’s rear
panel side down after lifting up the transceiver by
holding rack mounting handle. This may scratch the
surface of the place or damage the connectors on the
transceiver’s rear panel.
CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings
of the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver per-
formance and/or damage to the transceiver.
In particular, incorrect settings for transmitter circuits,
such as output power, idling current, etc., might dam-
age the expensive final devices.
The transceiver warranty does not cover any prob-
lems caused by unauthorized internal adjustment.
CAUTION: NEVER block any cooling vents on the
top, rear or bottom of the transceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain,
snow or any liquids.
CAUTION: NEVER install the transceiver in a
place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation
may be reduced, and the transceiver may be dam-
aged.
CAUTION: The transceiver weighs approximately
23.5 kg (52 lb). Always have two people available to
carry, lift or turn over the transceiver.
CAUTION: The line-voltage receptacle must be
near the transceiver and must be easily accessible.
DO NOT use extension cords.
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the trans-
ceiver’s surfaces.
DO NOT push the PTT switch when you don’t actu-
ally desire to transmit.
DO NOT use or store the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below ±0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C
(+122°F).
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or
putting anything on top of the transceiver. This may
overheat the transceiver.
Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvert-
ent use by children.
BE CAREFUL! If you use a linear amplifier, set the
transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear
amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear
amplifier will be damaged.
BE CAREFUL!
NEVER touch the transceiver top
cover when transmitting continuously for long periods
of time. The top cover may be hot.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional).
Other manufacturers’ microphones have different pin
assignments, and connection to the transceiver may
damage the transceiver or microphone.
The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections
that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a
malfunction or defect, but a normal characteristic of
LCD displays.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the trans-
ceiver and microphone as far away as possible from
the magnetic navigation compass to prevent errone-
ous indications.
Turn [I/O] switch (on the rear panel) OFF and/or dis-
connect the AC power cable from the AC outlet when
you will not use the transceiver for long period of time.

What is the PBT control?
The PBT function electronically modifies the IF passband
width to reject interference. This transceiver uses the DSP
circuit for the PBT function.
&5 RIT/TX CONTROL [RIT/TX] (pp. 7-3, 8-5)
Shifts the receive and/or transmit frequency without
changing the transmit and/or receive frequency.
Rotate the control clockwise to increase the frequency,
or rotate the control counterclockwise to decrease the
frequency. The RIT or TX functions must be ON.
The shift frequency range is ±9.999 kHz in 1 Hz steps (or
±9.99 kHz in 10 Hz steps).

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Unpacking
After unpacking, immediately report any damage to
the delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping car-
tons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory equip-
ment included with the transceiver, see ‘Supplied ac-
cessories’ on page vii of this manual.
Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows ade-
quate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or
vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna ele-
ments, radios and other electromagnetic sources.
The base of the transceiver has optional angled front
feet for desktop use. If desired, place the optional feet
over the standard feet. Be sure the angle of the bottom
of the feet are such that the front of the transceiver is
angled up, and is stable.
Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND
terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance
between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as
possible.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] ter-
minal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection
could cause an explosion or electric shock.
Attaching the rack mounting handle
Remove the two screws from each side of the front
panel and the one screw from each side of the side
panel. Attach the rack mounting handles to the sides
of the transceiver using only the supplied accessory
screws.
CAUTION: NEVER put the transceiver’s rearpanel
side down after lifting up the transceiver by holding
rack mounting handle. This may scratch the surface
of the place or damage the connectors on the trans-
ceiver’s rear panel.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Connecting antenna
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical
importance, along with the output power and receiver
sensitivity. Select antennas, such as a well-matched
50 Ω antenna, and feedline.
If you use only one antenna, connect it to the [ANT1]
connector.
CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from light-
ning by using a lightning arrestor.
Main dial attachment
The Main dial is shipped unattached to the transceiver
to prevent possible damage to the dial shaft or rotary
encoder during shipping. Please attach the dial as de-
scribed below.
q Slide the dial brake adjustment to the right posi-
tion.
The dial brakes move inward as shown.
w Insert the Main dial set-screw into the screw hole of
the Main dial, then tighten the screw until the screw
extends into the shaft hole out slightly using sup-
plied hexagonal wrench (2 mm).
Be careful that the screw does not extend out more than
1 mm (0.04 in).
e Attach the Main dial as illustrated.
Be careful to match the correct orientation of the flat
face of the shaft and the screw hole of the dial knob.
r Tighten the screw using supplied hexagonal wrench
as illustrated.
t Install the rubber cover to the Main dial little by lit-
tle.
Be careful to match the correct position of the convex
part of the rubber cover and the concave part of the dial
knob.
Never install the rubber cover on the Main dial by force.
This may cause damage to the dial shaft or rotary en-
coder.

R WARNING!
Set the transceiver output power and linear ampli-
fier ALC output level referring to the linear amplifier
instruction manual.
The ALC input level must be in the range 0 V to
–4 V. The transceiver does not accept positive volt-
age. Non-matched ALC and RF power settings
could cause a fire or damage the linear amplifier.
The maximum control level of [RELAY] jack
is 16 V/0.5 A DC with the initial setting, and
250 V/200 mA with the “MOS-FET” setting (see p.
20-4 for details). Use an external relay unit when
your non-Icom linear amplifier requires a control
voltage and/or current greater than specified.
When using a linear amplifier that has a time delay
between receiving and transmitting, a high SWR
might cause the linear amplifier to malfunction. To
prevent this, slow the TX Delay the “TX Delay (HF),
(50M)” settings in the Others Set mode. (p. 15-13)

BASIC OPERATION
About the 5 MHz frequency band operation (USA version only)
Operation on the 5 MHz frequency band is allowed on
5 discrete frequencies and must adhere to the follow-
ing:
The USB, USB Data, CW, and PSK modes.
• Maximum of 100 watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power)
• 2.8 kHz bandwidth (maximum)
It is your responsibility to set all controls so that trans-
mission in this frequency band meets the stringent
conditions under which amateur operations may use
these frequencies.
NOTE: We recommend that you store these fre-
quencies, modes and filter settings into memory
channels, for easy recall.
To assist you in operating within the rules specified
by the FCC, transmission is illegal on any frequen-
cies other than the five shown in the tables below.
For the USB and USB Data modes
The FCC specifies center frequencies on the 5 MHz
frequency band. However, the transceiver displays
carrier frequency. Therefore, tune the transceiver to
1.5 kHz below the specified FCC channel center fre-
quency.

RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT
This section, describes particular operations for each
operating mode, such as operating the Memory keyer
in the CW mode, or operating the Encoder or Decoder
in the RTTY or PSK mode.
If you use functions that are described in Section 6:
Scope operation, Section 7: Functions for Receive, or
Section 8: Functions for Transmit, you can operate the
transceiver more conveniently.
All operating modes

The preamp amplifies received signals in the receiver
front end, to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity. When
receiving weak signals, select to P.AMP 1 or P.AMP 2.
Push [P.AMP] several times to turn ON preamp 1 or
preamp 2 or, to turn OFF the preamp.
“P.AMP1” or “P.AMP2” is displayed when preamp 1 or
preamp 2 is ON. (The Main and Sub bands have inde-
pendent preamp controls.)
Attenuator (p. 7-2)
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from becom-
ing distorted when very strong signals are near the
frequency, or when very strong electric fields, such as
from broadcasting stations, are near your location.
Push [ATT] several times to set the attenuator in 6
dB steps.
Hold down [ATT] for 1 second to set the attenuator in 3
dB steps.
“ATT” and the attenuation level are displayed when the
attenuator is ON.
Notch filter (p. 7-13)
The Auto notch function uses DSP to automatically at-
tenuates beat tones, tuning signals, and so on, even if
they are moving.
The Manual notch can be set to attenuate a frequency
by rotating the [NOTCH] control.
When the SSB or AM mode is selected:
Auto notch or Manual notch can be used.

or OFF.
Rotate the [NR] control to adjust the noise reduction
level.
The Noise reduction indicator (above the [NR] key) lights
when the Noise reduction is ON.
AGC (p. 7-4)
The AGC (Auto Gain Control) controls receiver gain to
produce a constant audio output level even when the
received signal strength greatly varies.
Twin PBT (p. 7-5)
The PBT (Passband Tuning) electronically narrows
the IF passband width by shifting the IF frequency to
slightly outside of the IF filter passband, to reject inter-
ference. The transceiver uses DSP for the PBT func-
tion. Moving both the [TWIN PBT] controls to the same
position shifts the IF.
Rotate the [TWIN PBT] controls (inner/outer).
Hold down [PBT CLEAR] for 1 second to clear the set-
tings.

When the transceiver is in standby (and the break-in
function is OFF— p. 8-4) you can listen to the CW side
tone without actually transmitting.
This allows you to match your transmit frequency ex-
actly to another station’s by matching the audio tone.
You can also use the CW side tone (be sure to turn
OFF break-in!) to practice CW sending. The CW side
tone level can be adjusted in the Level set mode (p.
15-5).

Operating PSK
A high-quality DSP-based PSK encoder/decoder is built
into the transceiver. You can connect a keyboard to the
transceiver and operate PSK without a PC. (p. 3-6)
This transceiver can be used in the PSK31 and PSK63
modes.
If you would rather use your PSK software, consult the
software manual.

RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT
Repeater operation
A repeater amplifies received signals and retransmits
them on a different frequency. When using a repeater,
the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive fre-
quency by an offset amount. A repeater can be ac-
cessed using split frequency operation with the shift
frequency set to the repeater’s frequency offset.
To access a repeater that requires a repeater tone,
set the repeater tone frequency in the Tone frequen-
cy screen. (p. 5-38)

You can independently set the frequency offset for the
HF band and the 50 MHz band (p. 15-14). You can also
set the Repeater tone frequency (p 5-38).
t Operate in the normal way.
While using the Split function, transmission is made

FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
Preamplifier
The preamp amplifies received signals in the receiver
front end to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and sen-
sitivity. Set this to P.AMP 1 or P.AMP 2 when receiving
weak signals.
Push the Multi-function [P.AMP]() key several times
to turn ON preamp 1 or preamp 2, or to turn OFF

About P.AMP 2
P.AMP 2 is a high gain receive amplifier. When it is
used during times of strong electric fields, distortion
sometimes results. In such cases, set the transceiver
to “P.AMP 1” or “P.AMP OFF.

FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
Twin PBT operation
In general, the PBT (Passband Tuning) electronically
narrows the IF passband width by shifting the IF fre-
quency to slightly outside of the IF filter passband, to
reject interference. The transceiver uses DSP for the
PBT function.
You can watch the nearby intended signal using the
spectrum scope. (p. 6-2)
q Rotate [PBT1] (inner control) and [PBT2] (outer
control) to the opposite direction from each other to
narrow the IF passband width.
Before rotating, the PBT settings of [PBT1] and [PBT2]
should be cleared.
Rejects interference of both higher and lower pass-
bands. If you rotate the control too much, the received
audio may not be heard because the passband width is
too narrow.
Displays the passband width and shift frequency.
The [PBT CLEAR] indicator lights.
Hold down [PBT CLEAR] for 1 second to clear the PBT
setting. In that case, the [PBT CLEAR] indicator goes
OFF.
The variable range depends on the passband width and
the operating mode. The edge of the variable range is half
of the passband width. The PBT is adjustable in 25 Hz
steps in the SSB/CW/RTTY/PSK modes, and 100 Hz in
the AM mode.
Moving both [TWIN PBT] controls to the same position
shifts the IF left or right.

FUNCTIONS FOR TRANSMIT
Split frequency operation allows you to transmit and
receive in the same mode on two different frequencies.
Split frequency operation uses one frequency on the
Main band and another on the Sub band.
The following is an example of using 21.290 MHz for
receiving and 21.310 MHz for transmitting.
q Set 21.290 MHz (USB) in the Main band.
w Push [SPLIT] momentarily, then hold down [M=S]
for 1 second.
The Quick split function is much more convenient for se-
lecting the transmit frequency. See page 8-8 for details.
The equalized frequencies and
SPLIT

played.
The [SPLIT] indicator lights white.
The
TX
icon indicates the transmit frequency.
Set the transmit frequency to 21.310 MHz in one of
following ways.
Rotate [MAIN DIAL] while holding down [XFC].
Rotate the [SUB DIAL].
The transmit frequency can be monitored while hold-
ing down [XFC] or using Dualwatch.
r Now you can receive on 21.290 MHz and transmit
on 21.310 MHz.
To reverse the transmit and receive frequencies, push
[CHANGE] to exchange the Main and Sub band fre-
quencies.
CONVENIENT
• Direct shift frequency input
The shift frequency can be directly entered.
q Push [F-INP].
w

FUNCTIONS FOR TRANSMIT
When you find a DX station, an important consider-
ation is how to set the split frequency.
When you hold down [SPLIT] for 1 second, the Split
frequency function is turned ON, the Sub band fre-
quency is equalized to the Main band frequency, and it
becomes the initial transmit frequency.
This shortens the time needed to start the Split fre-
quency operation.
The Quick split function is ON by default. For your
convenience, it can be turned OFF in the Others set
screen (p. 15-13). In that case, [SPLIT] does not equal-
ize the Main and Sub band frequencies.
 Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB) in
the VFO mode.
q Hold down [SPLIT] for 1 second.
The Split frequency operation is turned ON.
The Sub band frequency is equalized with the Main band
frequency.
F-INP
is displayed and the Sub band readout be-
comes the initial transmit frequency.
w Enter the desired offset frequency from the keypad
and then push [SPLIT], or set the transmit frequen-
cy by rotating [MAIN DIAL] while pushing [XFC], or
by rotating [SUB DIAL].
F-INP
disappears when [XFC] is pushed, or [MAIN
DIAL] or [SUB DIAL] is rotated.
Set the offset frequency by pushing [0] to [9]
[Example]
To transmit on a 1 kHz higher frequency:
- Push [F-INP], [1] and then push [SPLIT].
To transmit on a 3 kHz lower frequency:
- Push [F-INP], [•], [3] and then push [SPLIT].
D
Split lock function
The Split lock function is convenient for changing only
the transmit frequency. When the Split lock function is
not used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotating
[MAIN DIAL] changes the receive frequency. The Split
lock function is ON by default, but can be turned OFF in
the Others set screen. (p. 15-14)
q In the Split mode, push [LOCK] for both the Main
and Sub bands to activate the Split lock function.
w While pushing [XFC], rotate [MAIN DIAL] to change
the transmit frequency.
If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating [MAIN

USING AN SD CARD OR USB FLASH DRIVE
An SDHC card is supplied.
You can also use third party cards.
An SD card of up to 2 GB, or an SDHC of up to 32 GB,
can be used.
Icom has checked the compatibility with the following
SD and SDHC cards.
(As of January 2018)
Brand Type Memory size
SanDisk
®
SD 2 GB
SDHC
4 GB
8 GB
16 GB
32 GB
The above list does not guarantee the card’s perfor-
mance.
Throughout the rest of this document, the SD card
and an SDHC card are simply called SD cards or the
card.
Icom recommends that you format all SD cards to be
used with the transceiver, even preformatted cards
for PCs or other uses. (p. 10-8)
Saving the transceiver’s factory default data is rec-
ommended. (p. 10-5)
NOTE:
Before using the SD card, thoroughly read the card’s
instructions.
If you do any of the following, the card data may be
corrupted or deleted.
- A power failure occurs or the AC power cable is
disconnected from an AC receptacle while access-
ing the card.
- You turn OFF the internal power supply while ac-
cessing the card.
- You remove the card from the transceiver while ac-
cessing the card.
- You drop, impact or vibrate the card.
Do not touch the contacts of the card.
The transceiver takes a longer time to recognize a
high capacity card.
The card will get warm if used continuously for a
long period of time.
The card has a certain lifetime, so data reading or
writing may not be possible after using it for a long
time period.
When reading or writing data is impossible, the
card’s lifetime has ended. In this case, purchase a
new one. We recommend you make a backup file of
the important data onto your PC.
Icom will not be responsible for any damage caused
by data corruption of an card.

MEMORY OPERATION
Memo pads
The transceiver has a Memo Pad function to store fre-
quency and operating mode for easy write and recall.
The Memo pads are separate from memory channels.
The default quantity of Memo pads is 5. However, this
can be increased to 10 in the Others set mode, if de-
sired. (p. 15-15)
Memo pads are convenient when you want to tempo-
rarily memorize a frequency and operating mode, such
as when you find a DX station in a pile-up, or when a
desired station is busy for a long time and you want to
temporarily search for other stations.
The function can be used in both the VFO and memory
modes.
Use the transceiver’s Memo pads instead of relying on
hastily scribbled notes that are easily misplaced.

Entering frequencies and operating modes into Memo pads
You can easily write the accessed readout frequency
and operating mode by pushing [MP-W].
When you enter a 6th memo pad, the oldest memo
pad is automatically erased to make room for the new
entry.
Each Memo pad must have its own unique combi-
nation of frequency and operating mode. Memo
pads having identical settings cannot be entered.
In this example, 21.276 MHz (USB) will be erased
when 7.067 MHz (LSB) is entered.

ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION
About the Antenna tuner
The internal automatic antenna tuner automatically
matches the transceiver to the connected antenna.
After the tuner matches an antenna, the variable ca-
pacitor angles are memorized as a preset point for
each frequency range (100 kHz steps). Therefore,
when you change the frequency range, the variable
capacitors are automatically preset to the memorized
point.
CAUTION: NEVER transmit with the tuner ON when
no antenna is connected. This will damage the
transceiver. Be careful of the antenna selection.
Push [TUNER] to turn on the internal antenna tuner.
The antenna is automatically tuned when the an-
tenna SWR is higher than 1.5:1.
When the tuner is ON, the [TUNER] switch indicator
lights white.
While tuning, the [TUNER] switch indicator blinks red.
NOTE:
NEVER transmit without an antenna properly
connected to the selected antenna port.
When 2 or more antennas are connected, select
the antenna to be used with [ANT].
If the SWR is higher than about 1.5:1 when tun-
ing above 100 kHz on an antenna’s preset point,
hold down [TUNER] for 1 second to start manual
tuning.
The internal tuner may not be able to tune in the
AM mode. In such cases, hold down [TUNER] for
1 second to manually tune.
MANUAL TUNING
During SSB operation at low voice levels, the internal
tuner may not tune correctly. In such cases, manual
tune the antenna.
Hold down [TUNER] for 1 second, to start manual
tuning.
A side tone is heard and the [TUNER] switch indicator
blinks red while tuning.
If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1
after 20 seconds of tuning, the [TUNER] switch indicator
goes out.
• AUTOMATIC TUNER START (HF bands only)
If you want to deactivate the tuner under conditions
of VSWR 1.5:1 or less, use the auto tuner start func-
tion and turn the tuner OFF. This function activates the
tuner automatically when the SWR exceeds 1.5:1.
This function is turned ON in the set mode. (p. 15-14).

• PTT TUNER START
The tuner is always activated when PTT is pushed
after the frequency is changed (more than 1% from
last-tuned frequency). This function removes the “hold
down [TUNER],” and activates the tuner for the first
transmission on a new frequency.
This function is turned ON in Set mode (p. 15-14).
• Antenna tuner in the IC-PW1
When using an external antenna tuner such as the IC-
PW1’s tuner, tune with the external antenna tuner, and
turn OFF the transceiver’s tuner. Otherwise, both tun-
ers tune simultaneously and correct tuning may not be
obtained.
See the instruction manual included with each antenna
tuner for their respective operation.
D
If the tuner cannot tune the antenna
Check the following and try again:
• the [ANT] connector selection
• the antenna connection and feedline
the untuned antenna SWR
(Less than 3:1 for the HF bands,
Less than 2.5:1 for the 50 MHz band)
the transmit power (8 W for the HF bands, 15 W for the 50 MHz
band)
• the power source voltage/capacity
If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1
after checking the above, perform the following:
• Repeat manual tuning several times.
Tune with a 50 dummy load and then retune the anten-
na.
Turn power OFF and ON.
Adjust the antenna feedline length (This is effective for
higher frequencies in some cases.)
Some antennas, especially for low bands, have a narrow
bandwidth. These antennas may not tune at the edge of
their bandwidth, therefore, tune such an antenna as fol-
lows:
[Example]: Suppose you have an antenna which has an
SWR of 1.5:1 at 3.55 MHz and an SWR of 3:1
at 3.8 MHz.
q Set 3.55 MHz and hold down [TUNER] for 1 second to
start manual tuning.
w Set 3.80 MHz and hold down [TUNER] for 1 second to
start manual tuning.

About protection indications
The transceiver has a 2 step protection function to pro-
tect the final power amplifiers.
The function detects the power amplifier temperature
and activates when the temperature becomes ex-
tremely high.
• Power down transmission
Reduces the transmit output power to 100 W.
“LMT” appears beside the transmit indicator
during transmit.
• Transmission inhibit

The transmit indicator is displayed in gray during
transmit.
When the function is activated, wait until the power
amplifier cools down using the transceiver in the stand-
by or receive mode.
NOTE: DO NOT turn the transceiver power OFF.
The internal cooling fan does not function, so it will
take longer to cool the transceiver.
The power amplifier temperature can be monitored in
the multi-function meter, TEMP gauge.
Check the temperature
Follow the case opening procedures shown here when
you want to replace the clock backup battery or inter-
nal fuse.

The waveform information is different between
Center mode and fixed mode.
In the Center mode: Center frequency and span are
sent

CONNECTOR INFORMATION
[EXT KEYPAD] jack
The circuit is used to output memory content in 8 chan-
nel memories. You can output desired memory content
such as CW Memory keyer, Voice memory, RTTY/PSK
Memory to be transmitted. Push a switch to send the
memory information. Hold down the switch for 1 sec-
ond to repeatedly send the memory information.
When you connect the external keypad, turn ON the
following items in the Others set screen. (p. 15-16)
(SET [F-7] > OTHERS[F-5])
• External Keypad (Voice)
• External Keypad (Keyer)
• External Keypad (RTTY)
• External Keypad (PSK)
Mute switch: Mutes both transmission and reception
when the switch is turned ON.
[REF I/O] connector
This connector outputs or inputs a 10 MHz reference
signal.
• Input/Output impedance: 50
• Output level: Approximately –10 dBm
• Required input level: Approximately –10 dBm
• Output signal stability: ±0.05 ppm (0 ~ +50°C)
If you use an external reference signal,
set to “IN” in the “REF IN/OUT” item of the
ACC set screen.
You can adjust the internal Reference Signal frequen-
cy in the “REF Adjust” item of the ACC set screen.
(SET [F-7] > ACC [F-2] > REF Adjust)
[RELAY] jack
Goes to ground when transmitting to con-
trol an external non-Icom linear amplifier.
You can select either mechanical relay or
semi-conductor MOS-FET control.
Specifications
Mechanical relay (Reed Relay):
16 V DC/Less than 0.5 A
MOS-FET: Less than 250 V/ Less than 250 mA
You can change the control in the “SEND Relay Type”
item of the ACC set screen.
(SET [F-7] > ACC [F-2] > SEND Relay Type)
When the SEND terminal controls the inductive load
(such as a relay), a counter-electromotive force can
cause the transceiver’s malfunction or damage. To pre-
vent this, we recommend adding a switching diode,
such as an “1SS133, on the load side of the circuit to
the counter-electromotive force.
[X-VERTER] connector
You can connect your transverter unit
through the connector.
• Input/output impedance:
50
• Output level: Approximately –20 dBm or more
You can change the transverter function in the “Trans-
verter Function” item of the Others set screen.
You can also adjust the offset frequency in the “Trans-
verter Offset” item of the Others set screen.

INSTALLATION NOTES
For amateur base station installations it is recom-
mended that the forwards clearance in front of the an-
tenna array is calculated relative to the EIRP (Effective
Isotropic Radiated Power). The clearance height below
the antenna array can be determined in most cases
from the RF power at the antenna input terminals.
Different exposure limits have been recommended for
different frequencies, a relative table shows a guide-
line for installation considerations.
Below 30 MHz, the recommended limits are specified
in terms of V/m or A/m fields as they are likely to fall
within the near-field region. Similarly, the antennas
may be physically short in terms of electrical length
and that the installation will require some antenna
matching device which can create local, high intensity
magnetic fields. Analysis of such installations is best
considered in association with published guidance
notes such as the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01
and its annexes relative to amateur transmitter instal-
lations. The EC recommended limits are almost identi-
cal to the FCC specified ‘uncontrolled’ limits and tables
exist that show pre-calculated safe distances for differ-
ent antenna types for different frequency bands. Fur-
ther information can be found at http://www.arrl.org/.
• Typical amateur radio installation
Exposure distance assumes that the predominant ra-
diation pattern is forward and that radiation vertically
downward is at unity gain (sidelobe suppression is
equal to main lobe gain). This is true of almost every
gain antenna today. Exposed persons are assumed
to be beneath the antenna array and have a typical
height of 1.8 m.
The figures assume the worst-case emission of con-
stant carrier.
For the bands 10 MHz and higher the following power
density limits have been recommended:
10–144 MHz 2 W/sq m
EIRP clearance heights by frequency band
1 Watts 2.1 m
10 Watts 2.8 m
25 Watts 3.4 m
100 Watts 5 m
1000 Watts 12 m
Forward clearance, EIRP by frequency band
100 Watts 2 m
1000 Watts 6.5 m
10,000 Watts 20 m
100,000 Watts 65 m
In all cases any possible risk depends on the trans-
mitter being activated for long periods. (actual recom-
mendation limits are specified as an average during 6
minutes) Normally the transmitter is not active for long
periods of time. Some radio licenses will require that a
timer circuit automatically cuts the transmitter after 1–
2 minutes etc.
Similarly some types of emission, i.e., SSB, CW, AM
etc. have a lower ‘average’ output power and the as-
sessed risk is even lower.
