ICOM Launches New IC-7760 at Tokyo Hamfair!

ICOM Launches New IC-7760 at Tokyo Hamfair!

Following months of speculation and excitement surrounding our top-secret "X60 Project," ICOM officially unveiled the highly anticipated IC-7760 today at the Tokyo Hamfair (August 24th & 25th 2024).

The IC-7760 is a 200 W HF/50 MHz Amateur radio transceiver. The IC-7760 offers a new “innovative shack style” consisting of a full control head with separate RF deck, connected through a control cable for greater installation flexibility. The supplied control cable is 3 m (9.8 ft) long and by using a commercially available LAN cable, the RF deck can be installed in a more remote location. Furthermore, the control head and RF deck can be connected through a wired home LAN connection for remote operation. This simple configuration does not require a PC, and can be easily operated from nearly anywhere in the home as long as a LAN connection is available.

Main and Sub dual displays with touch screen function are provided for improved viewing of information and also smooth operation. The 7-inch main display centralises information important for operation, such as Main/Sub frequencies and the setting/operating status of each function. The newly adopted 2.4-inch sub-display shows filter effects, various meters, and band stacking register keys.

DIGI-SEL (Digital Pre-selector) and the preamp can now be used together. DIGI-SEL prevents suppression of strong out-of-band signals, while the preamp improves receiver sensitivity. It also maximizes the dynamic range of the A/D converter to avoid signal overflow.

The IC-7760 offers a new Innovative Shack Style, combining 200 W of high output power with clean signal transmission assisted by the Digital Pre-Distortion feature, and convenient functions to support comfortable operation, making it ideal for contests and DX hunting.

Main Features
• Full control head with separate RF deck for greater installation flexibility*1
• Supports in-house remote operation through a wired LAN *1
• Two displays, 7-inch wide and 2.4-inch, with touch screen operation
• DIGI-SEL and the preamp can work at the same time
• Advanced RF direct sampling system using FPGA processing
• 200 W full power and full duty *2
• DPD (Digital Pre-Distortion) for excellent IMD characteristics and clean transmitted signals

*1 Communication between the controller and the RF deck depends on the network environment in which it is used. Gigabit Ethernet is recommended. The controller can be used on a different network segment than the RF deck such as over a network switch. *2 200 W output and 1-hour continuous transmission with 100~200V AC input (at ambient temperature 25 ℃.)

Initial deliveries are planned for around November 2024 and we will confirm pricing as soon as this information becomes available. To commemorate Icom's 60th Anniversary, a special 60th Anniversary logo plate is included with the IC-7760 as a special offer for the first 200 units shipped internationally.

As part of this special launch, ICOM has released a video showcasing the IC-7760, which can be viewed directly on YouTube.
