ICOM Portable All Mode Transceiver HF 50MHz 144MHz 430MHz 10W IC-705
Product Description
This advanced transceiver covers HF, 50MHz, 144MHz, and 430MHz bands
in all modes, including SSB, CW, RTTY, AM, FM, and D-STAR® DV mode.
It offers seamless reception from 30kHz up to the 144MHz band,
allowing you to enjoy FM broadcasts, airband, and more.
Utilizing RF direct sampling technology,
the device converts RF signals directly into digital signals for processing,
eliminating non-linear distortion and achieving outstanding phase noise characteristics.
This technology also enables a high-speed, high-resolution
real-time spectrum scope and waterfall display,
inherited from highly regarded models,
for visual monitoring of band conditions and available frequencies.
The large 4.3-inch color touchscreen display
supports intuitive touch operation,
greatly enhancing visibility and usability in the field.
FT8 operation is simplified with easy preset selection,
and custom presets can be saved for future digital modes.
The compact and lightweight body,
measuring approximately 20cm wide, 8.35cm high, and 8.2cm deep,
and weighing about 1.1kg (including battery),
makes it highly portable.
Wireless connectivity is supported via built-in WLAN (with access point functionality)
and Bluetooth®, enabling remote control and smartphone integration.
The device also features a high-performance GPS antenna and logger,
compatible with the "Michibiki" satellite system,
allowing for position information exchange during D-STAR® DV mode communication,
GPS logging, automatic repeater listing, and time correction.
A microSD card slot is included for recording communications,
saving settings, and firmware updates.
Dual micro USB ports allow simultaneous rig control and digital mode operation,
including FT8, with audio modulation/demodulation support.
The transceiver is equipped with comprehensive D-STAR® features,
such as DR function, terminal/access point modes,
and the ability to send, receive, and view stored images directly on the device.
A customizable speaker microphone (HM-243) is included,
featuring assignable buttons for frequency, volume, and various functions.
The latest firmware adds DV repeater monitor functionality,
now supporting overseas repeaters,
allowing you to monitor the status of target repeaters during D-STAR® area CQ operations.
Even while monitoring, reception from the nearest repeater is prioritized,
ensuring you never miss a call.
