SECTION 2 FEATURES
ALL. BAND, ALL MODE, ALL SOLID STATE
The IC-701 covers all the Amateur HF frequencies from 1.8MHz to 29.999.9MHz plus 15MHz WWV. It offers not only
SSB, but also CW and RTTY. All of the circuits in the IC-701, including the driver and final power stages are completely
solid state, and provide about 100 Watts output.
COMPUTER COMPATIBLE TUNING SYSTEM
The local oscillator circuit (VFO) employs a C-MOS LSI! for the PLL that has been custom-made on the basis of ICOM's
advanced digital technology. The VFO circuit is a digital PLL circuit that controls frequency determination by pulses
produced by the tuning control. Unlike conventional PLLs, it controls the VCO by combining and dividing crystal oscillator
frequencies. Therefore, its stability is much higher than conventional VFOs. In addition, the pulse control system makes
it possible to set and change frequencies with external digital signals.
With a computer programmed and connected to the rear accessory socket, you can easily control frequencies, change bands,
scan, on the IC-701. This system will give you the maximum of performance and versatility.
DUAL DIGITAL VFO'S
The IC-701 contains two built-in digital VFO's located in ICOM's custom LSI, providing the ultimate in versitility.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
The RF amplifier circuit using MOS FETs, the Schottky barrier diode balanced mixer and other circuits provide excellent
Cross Modulation and Two-Signal Selectivity characteristics. The IC-701 has excellent sensitivity demanded especially for
mobile operation, high stability, and with two Crystal Filters having high shape factors, exceptional selectivity.
ADDITIONAL CIRCUITS
The IC-701 has a built-in Noise Blanker, VOX, an Auto Dimmer for control of the readout and meter illumination, CW
Monitor, APC, SWR detector, and many other circuits for your convenience.
The IC-701 has everything you need to really enjoy HF operation, in an extremely compact, rugged transceiver.
