On the kind recomendation of Craig K9CT, who we had met at Contest University, we look for the the Ham Stationbooth and found they had an IC-7800 on the floor and were able to work a deal with them. And Icom really stands behind this radio with a limited two year factory warranty.įirst trick was seeing the vendors and working out what the actual street price of the radio is and more importantly IF they had one to sell.Ī number of excellent vendors had nearly identical pricing, and had the same problem – they didn’t have an IC-7800 at the show and would have to have one shipped out to fill the order. The high resolution 7 inch TFT color LCD display provides more operating information than you’ve ever had before, including a spectrum scope.
#Ic 7800 receiver plus
This new radio covers the HF ham bands plus 6 meters (receive from 30 kHz – 60 MHz). The supplied accessories include: rack mounting ears, compact flash and various plugs (mic not supplied).
A 120 VAC switching power supply is built-in.
#Ic 7800 receiver full
The newly designed push-pull MOSFET amplifiers work with a 48 VDC, providing a powerful 200 watts of output at full duty cycle with low IMD in all bands. And nothing is sacrificed on the transmit side. The rear panel features four primary antenna inputs plus provisions for receive antenna A and B. There is even a separate preamp and mixer for the 6 meter band. And you enjoy this incredible performance in two fully independent receiver circuits controlled on the left side of the radio. By sparing no expense an incredible +40dBm intercept point has been achieved with ultra wide dynamic range. As impressive as the features are it is performance that sets this radio apart. Press SET > LEVEL, then scroll up to SSB TX Tone (Bass) rotate the main tuning dial to set the Bass to -2 for starters (-4 if using the PR-40 or similar mic with lots of bass response).
#Ic 7800 receiver pro
It utilizes four separate 32-bit floating point DSP chips, has a 7-inch wide TFT display, built in RTTY/PSK31 receive and transmit plus compact flash technology. DSP Setting Example: Icom 746/756 Pro Series, IC-7700/7800. The ICOM 7800 is clearly one the most advanced amateur radio ever developed. Lets touch on some of Icom’s marking blurb on the IC-7800: With a current list price of $13,500.00 the IC-7800 isn’t an item every booth has in stock, to say the least. Understand a little more about the overall performance of these rigs.My “Dayton Elmer” is George W9EVT who was eager to purchase an Icom IC-7800 Transceiver for his “ Ham Hotel” Bed & Breakfast at Greengate Farm, Washington Island, Wisconsin. With Rob's permission, I will post his entire test results for many of the radios he has recently tested. Representative for the overall performance of the radio. This is a very important attribute, perhaps the single most important but it is WRONG to interpret this single measurement as being Radios by just one measurement, close in Dynamic Range (DR3). Rob stresses again and again that the list depicts only a small piece of the overall performance of the radios. Most of these other measurementsĪre not reflected in the Performance List, but are shown in his longer review of each radio. To create the list, Rob has done extensive testing on many RX and TX specifications of the radios. Well actually it is a "RECEIVER PERFORMANCE LIST" (not transceiver). Most of you interested in this topic are already familier with Rob Sherwood's
