HF TRANSCEIVER

Advanced selective call and ALE make HF communication easier than ever!
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 efcient 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.

EXT SP GND GPS REMOTE

AF/MOD

DC 13.8V
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.

GPS receiver

PC control with NMEA format To ACC connector or AF/MOD connector

Versatile conguration

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 Selective beacon call GPS beacon call GPS position call Status call Pagecall Telcall Emergency selcall RFDS emergency call* ALE sounding
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 beacon call allows you to check the propagation before an individual/ group call. The receiving station sends back an ACK signal and continues scanning. 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*1 allows you to send your own position information to the intended ID station. 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*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*2 allows you to make a telephone call through a telephone interconnect service provider. Up to a 16-digit telephone number can be programmed. Allows you to broadcast an emergency signal with own position information. The RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) emergency call uses a 2-Tone signal for an emergency call.
(* Australia version only)
Automatically sends a sounding signal at a certain interval (0.516 hours) to check the channel propagation and stores the data in a table. Automatically selects the best available channel using the ALE table and establishes a connection. 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.
ALE individual/net call The ALE system complies with the basic requirements of MIL-STD 188-141-B (Appendix A). ALE AMD (Automatic Message Display)

*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 ersatile
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 (227/32 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.

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.
Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
The DSP allows exible lter setting for J2B (AFSK), F1B (FSK) communication. Optional filters are not required for improved lter 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
General coverage receiver
Wide band, general coverage receive capability is available from 0.5 to 29.999MHz.
Large 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 available for clear backlighting available for a ailable and bright illumination.

Automatic tuning antenna

The AT230 automatic tuning antenna is recommended for use with the IC-F7000. The AT230 fully covers 230MHz. It is also easily installed to a vehicle.
125W of powerful RF output powerful
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.
