The IC-R7000 is a sophisticated communications receiver designed
for a wide variety of users, covering HF, VHF, and UHF bands all in
one single, compact unit. The IC-R7000 also comes installed with a
crystal converter that makes Amateur radio reception possible in the
entire 1240 to 1300MHz frequency range .
The IC-R7000 incorporates an AM mode, an FM mode using both
wide and narrow filters, and an SSB mode that offers both LSB and
USB selection, making a wide variety of reception possible .
A total of 99 memory channels are available in the IC-R7000 for
convenient storage of both received frequencies and the reception
modes. VFO operations are possible when using any memory
channel.
With the IC-R7000 you not only have normal tuning capability with
the front panel tuning control: you can also shift quickly to a
desired frequency by using the keyboard to program frequency data.
In addition, tuning pitch can be selected between the following
frequencies: 100Hz, 1kHz, 5kHz, 10kHz, 12.5kHz, and 25kHz.
The IC-R7000 incorporates a total of six separate scanning functions
for easy access to a wide range of frequencies.
• PRIORITY SCAN eliminates the need for channel searching by
automatically monitoring programmed channels while you listen to
your main operating channel.
• PROGRAMMED SCAN offers detailed coverage of a speci!ic fre-
quency range by repeatedly scanning it.
•SELECTED MEMORY SCAN allows you to continuously scan
your favorite programmed memory channels.
•SELECTED MODE MEMORY SCAN automatically monitors all
memories which contain programmed frequencies with a similar
mode.
• MEMORY CHANNEL SCAN repeatedly scans the entire 99-Channel
Memory in sequence.
• AUTO-WRITE MEMORY SCAN monitors the specified frequency
range contained in PROGRAMMED SCAN and automatically
writes any incoming signals within that frequency range to Memory
Channels 80 through 99, the AUTO MEMORY WRITE AREA .
The VSC (VOICE SCAN CONTROL) function in the IC-R7000
allows you to skip all frequencies with inaudiable voice signals while
concentrating on those that are clear.
In addition to regular squelch capability, the IC-R7000 incorporates
an S-Meter Squelch function which squelches all incoming signals
stronger than the level indicated by the S-Meter. Incoming signals
less than the S-Meter reading will not be squelched.
