Icom IC-9700 144/440/1200 MHz All Mode Transceiver

Intro

144, 430/440, and 1200 MHz All Mode Transceiver, Including Satellite, DV, and DD Modes. High-Speed Real-Time Spectrum Scope, Waterfall Display, and Built-in 1200 MHz! This Supreme VHF/UHF Transceiver Provides a Brand New Experience!

Direct Sampling Brought to the VHF/UHF World. 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.

The IC-9700 is an all-mode Tri-band transceiver, covering 2m, 70cm, and 23cm. In addition to the traditional SSB, AM, FM, CW, and RTTY modes, the transceiver also incorporates D-STAR (Digital Smart Technology for Amateur Radio) DV and DD modes. A full featured Satellite mode is built-in! There are three antenna connectors, one each for 144, 430/440, and 1200 MHz.
