| The
IC-F7000 is an HF land mobile transceiver especially designed
for long distance communications. Such communications used
to require specially skilled operators, but the IC-F7000
makes HF LMR operation simple and efficient with the following
advanced functions and features.
Selective call
Uses a unique calling address like a telephone number and
allows you to make a call directly to a desired station
or group. Compatible with other brands of radios.
ALE (Automatic Link
Establishment) function
This function will check frequency propagation and strength
to automatically select the highest quality signal for the
best communication possible.
Versatile configuration
The controller and speaker are separated from the main unit.
Also, the size of the main unit in particular has been reduced,
so that the IC-F7000 can be installed almost anywhere.
Other capabilities
available with selective call and ALE
|
Selcall |
Make an individual/group
call using a unique 4-digit (or 6-digit) address.
The receiving station sends back an acknowledge (ACK)
signal and the scanning stops to allow you to communicate. |
| Selective
call |
Uses a unique calling address like
a telephone number and allows you to make a call directly
to a desired station or group. Compatible with other
brands of radios. |
| GPS beacon
call |
GPS beacon call*1 allows you to request
the intended ID station to send position information.
The receiving station automatically sends back position
information. |
| GPS position
call |
GPS position call*1 allows you to
send your own position information to the intended
ID station. |
| Status
call |
Status call*1 requests to send radio
status information including power supply voltage,
output power and VSWR. This allows you to monitor
the radio station from a remote location. |
| Pagecall |
Pagecall*1 allows you to send and
receive up to 64-character text messages with the
intended ID station. Received messages are recorded
in the memory of the radio. |
| Telcall |
Telcall*2 allows you to make a telephone
call through a telephone interconnect service provider.
Up to a 16-digit telephone number can be programmed. |
| Emergency
selcall |
Allows you to broadcast an emergency
signal with own position information |
| RFDS emergency
call* |
The RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service)
emergency call uses a 2-Tone signal for an emergency
call.
(* Australia version only) |
| ALE sounding |
Automatically sends a sounding signal
at a certain interval (0.5 to 16 hours) to check the
channel propagation and stores the data in a table. |
| ALE individual/net
call |
Automatically selects the best available
channel using the ALE table and establishes a connection.
The ALE system complies with the basic requirements
of MIL-STD 188-141-B (Appendix A). |
| ALE AMD
(Automatic Message Display) |
Allows you to send and receive up
to a 90-character text message using the ALE function.
Received messages are stored in the memory of the
radio. |
*1 GPS position
call, GPS beacon call, Pagecall and Status call use Icom
original commands. These calls may not be compatible
with other brands.
*2 Please consult with a telephone interconnect service
provider for details.
Versatile configuration
The controller and speaker are separated from the main (RF)
unit for flexible installation. A 6m separation cable is
attached to the controller. The main unit is only 72mm (2
27/32 in) in height, so there is almost no limit to the
places where the IC-F7000 can be set-up. The supplied hand
microphone, HM-146, allows you to control most of the IC-F7000
functions.
Large and clear
indication with the dot-matrix LCD
All operational and status information is easily viewed
on the full dot-matrix LCD. Editing a message or reading
a received message are made easy. Also 10 levels of LCD
backlighting are a available f le for clear or and bright
illumination.
125W of power powerful
RF output
A full 125W* of output power is available for reliable long
distance communication. An effective cooling mechanism allows
continuous transmission at full output power.
* 100W only for Australia version and for 4MHz bands and
above for General version.
Ample memory channels>
The IC-F7000 stores 400 channels, 100 ALE channels, 100
telephone numbers, 100 Selcall IDs and 120 ALE IDs. 20 pagecall
with up to 64-character messages and 20 ALE, including up
to 90-character ALE AMD messages are stored.
General coverage
receiver
Wide band, general coverage receive capability is available
from 0.5 to 29.999MHz.
Automatic tuning
antenna
The AT230 automatic tuning antenna is recommended for use
with the IC-F7000. The AT230 fully covers 2 to 30MHz. It
is also easily installed to a vehicle.
Digital Signal Processor
(DSP)
The DSP allows flexible filter setting for J2B (AFSK), F1B
(FSK) communication. Optional filters are not required for
improved filter performance.
Other features
- GPS input (NMEA0183 version 3.01)
- External 32MHz reference input for
accurate tuning
- Voice, S-meter and Call mute
- Optional antenna tuner, AT-140 available
with antenna element, AH-2b
