BASIC OPERATION
Meter display
D Meter display selection
You can display one of the 6 different transmit
parameters (Po, SWR, ALC, COMP, VD and ID) for
your convenience.
Touch the parameter to display one of the meters.
D Multi-function meter
You can display all the parameters simultaneously.
L The TEMP meter is also displayed on the Multi-function
meter.
Hold down the parameter for 1 second to display the
Multi-function meter.
Multi-function meter
When the VD meter
reads on the red under
line or below, the output
power may decrease or
transceiver power may be
shut down.
S:
Displays the receiving signal strength level.
Po:
Displays the relative RF output power.
SWR:
Displays the SWR of the antenna at the
frequency.
ALC:
Displays the ALC level. When the meter
movement shows the input signal level exceeds
the allowed level, the ALC limits the RF power.
In such cases, decrease the microphone gain
level.
COMP: Displays the compression level when the
speech compressor is used.
VD:
Displays the drain voltage of the final amplifier
MOS-FETs.
ID:
Displays the drain current of the final amplifier
MOS-FETs.
TEMP:
Displays the temperature of the final amplifier
MOS-FETs.

TX inhibit zone
Displays the temperature of
the final amplifier MOS-FETs.
Adjusting the microphone gain
Adjust the microphone gain as described below.
1. Set the operating band and mode to SSB, AM, FM
or DV. (p. 3-3)
2. Push
to display the Multi-function menu.
MULTI
3. Touch "MIC GAIN," and rotate
microphone.
L Setting "50%" can be used for most voice operations,
but do following to make sure the microphone gain is
properly set.
• Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from
your mouth, then hold down [PTT] on the microphone
and speak at your normal voice level.
• In the SSB mode, touch the TX meter to select
the ALC meter, and rotate
microphone gain until the meter reading swings
between 30 to 50% of the ALC scale.
• In the AM, FM or DV mode, check the audio clarity with
another station, or use the Monitor function (p. 4-7).

Questions and answers
Hi I cannot get my ic7900 to work on independe freq and green light sub is on plus I got main rev and sub in my screen .and cannot get my transceiver work with DUB function.on 2 meter please can you help ?
To resolve the issue where the Icom IC-9700 is not working on an independent frequency with the green Sub light on and the Dualwatch (DUB) function not functioning on 2 meters:
1. Confirm Dualwatch is Enabled: Hold down the OFF button for 1 second to turn the Dualwatch function ON. This activates independent monitoring of both Main and Sub bands.
2. Select the Proper Band: Touch the grayed frequency readout to select the active band. Ensure the Main and Sub bands are set to different frequencies and not both on 2 meters, as the same frequency cannot be set on both bands.
3. Check Band Settings: Ensure that the Sub band is not set to the same frequency or band as the Main. The IC-9700 supports independent operation on different bands, but not the same frequency on both Main and Sub.
4. Verify TX is on Main Band: Transmission is only possible on the Main band (except in Split Frequency mode), so ensure the Main band is the one you intend to transmit on.
5. Check for Mode Compatibility: Some functions only apply to the selected band and mode. Confirm that the correct mode (FM, SSB, etc.) is selected for the band in use.
Following these steps should allow independent frequency operation with Dualwatch enabled.
