Linear amplifier connections

D Connecting the IC-PW1/IC-PW1EURO

See the illustration below to connect the optional IC-PW1 or IC-PW1EURO
Refer to the amplifier's instruction manual for operation.
To an

To an AC outlet
Non-European versions: 100~120/200~240 V

R WARNING!
When using a linear amplifier such as the IC-PW1 or IC-PW1EURO, set the RF POWER in the Multi-function
menu to keep the ALC meter in the red zone.
LSee page 3-8 for details on the RF POWER settings.
LSee page 3-9 for details on the ALC zone settings.

D Connecting a non-Icom linear amplifier

See the illustration below to connect a non-Icom linear amplifier.
L We recommend that you use a linear amplifier with a specified input power of 100 watts or more. If you use an amplifier with
a specified drive level of less than 100 watts, adjust the IC-7610's output power to the specified level before transmitting.
Otherwise the linear amplifier may be damaged.

R WARNING!
• The maximum signal level of the [SEND] jack is 16 V/0.5 A DC, and 250 V/200 mA with the "MOSFET" setting (p. 13-2).
Use an external unit if your non-Icom linear amplifier requires a control voltage and/or current greater than specified.
• The ALC input level must be in the range 0 to –4 V. The transceiver does not accept a positive voltage. Non-matched ALC
and RF power settings could overheat or damage the linear amplifier.
