Since I've seen used IC7100's as low as $675, I am using that as my target, with a little wiggle room for something nice.

BUT, anything that makes me turn the RF gain control to 7, set the bandswitch halfway between 40 and 80, pull out on the volume control, click the soft key (NO! Not THAT one!) three times, and scroll to sub menu 13 of main menu 3 just to find out how to switch from LSB to CW is more than I want to deal with.Ħ. That is relative to the knowledge and temperament of the user. If it doesn't work when I want it to, nothing else matters much.ĥ. Besides sensitivity and 100 other factors, the ability to zero in on a desired signal while shunting others out of the pass band or stomping them down would be appreciated.Ĥ. I don't have much space for my "shack".ģ. Something around the size of the 706 family would be nice. One of the major brands so that parts and the depth of knowledge so evident on these forums can help me find needed parts and to debug the critter.Ģ. I don't really know if I have the patience to learn everything I would need to know about 100 other rigs in order to find something suitable.ġ. It's sort of difficult to distinguish between the two at arms length. I know that there are probably a TON of good used rigs out there, doubtless some jewels, and some that have been tinkered to the edge of oblivion. I've found another one at a price I can live with, and have requested to know the serial number of that one. I've been chasing these rigs through the classifieds on three different sites only to find I just missed the deal on the one I really wanted (mostly because I was too cheap to pay the initial asking price) or that there was something less desirable about this particular unit. The 706 MKIIG has been suggested to me as a very good, compact radio to get me back on the air without going into the nosebleed price tag zone.įrom what the tech reference article said, it looks like the best bet is a high S/N MKIIG, or a non-G 706 with the DSP installed. If the rig covered 6 and 2 meters, so much the better.

The Digital Voice Recorder (DVR) function has a front panel REC control that allows you to record incoming signals for up to 25 minutes.Ī detachable control head (requires optional separation cable), 503 memories, S/PWR/SWR meter, RIT, Preamp, RTTY Demodulator, Attenuator, adjustable SSB bandwidth, NTSC video output, DTMF memory, VOX, full break-in and adjustable CW pitch.Well, my primary interest is CW, and fixed base at that.

The keyer also performs automatic repeat, automatic contest serial numbers and cut-numbers. An internal memory keyer provides four memories for station information or contest exchanges. A longer touch activates adjustment of the function's setting. One quick touch turns the function on and off. In the Fixed Mode the scope sweeps a fixed range.Įight of the most-used radio functions are controlled by dedicated function keys grouped around the display for easy visibility. In the Center Mode the scope is centered on the receiving frequency.

Not only does this display provide radio status, but it also supports a two-mode band scope. You can choose from three background colors and two font styles. The 2.5 inch (diagonal) TFT color display presents numbers and indicators in bright, concentrated colors for easy recognition. Yes, there is tremendous power under the hood, but the radio is also down-right gorgeous. And variable twin PBT allows you to either narrow the IF passband, or shift the entire passband to eliminate QRM. Imagine having 41 bandwidths available - standard! You can even select sharp or soft filter shape. In fact, the 7000 employs two DSP chips to work its magic. DSP at the IF level is the cornerstone of this impressive new multi-bander. The ICOM IC-7000 represents the next generation in all-mode HF/VHF/UHF mobile transceivers.
