Real time spectrum scope

Example of spectrum scope centered on the receiving frequency.


Example of fixed spectrum scope range.
With the dedicated DSP unit, the spectrum scope provides 80dB dynamic range of signal processing (the IC-756PROII is 60dB). The scope span can be set to ±2.5 to ±250kHz in 7 steps, providing wide band signal analysis.The monitor range can be set independently from the receiving frequency. You can monitor the band condition between the selected sweep edges, as well as sweep a selected band width centered on the receiving frequency in the scope screen.

In addition, the scope has many features including scope attenuator (10dB/20dB/30dB), 3 types of marker (Main band, Sub band, Transmit), Max hold function and Main-Sub band one touch switch. The mini scope function is convenient for continuous monitoring even while adjusting the set mode.

The built-in audio equalizer has the separate bass and treble adjustment for a total of 121 combinations, so you can tone your voice up or down as you want. In addition, the transmit bandwidth is selectable from 100, 300, 500Hz at the low-pass edge, and 2500, 2700, 2900Hz at the high-pass edge respectively. 3 types of high and low combinations can be stored in the memory. With this flexibility of DSP based waveform shaping, transmit audio quality is adjustable depending on the operating situation.

Response time, color, resolution, visibility the IC-7800's display has been examined in all aspects, and an active matrix 7-inch (800 × 400 pixels) TFT color display was selected for the IC-7800. This large display shows main, sub-band frequencies including various settings and operating conditions as well as spectrum scope, S-meter and RTTY/PSK31 decoded messages. The S-meter shows near analog like needle swings that are smooth and accurate. In addition to the 3 styles of digital meter, the IC-7800 has digital multi-function bar graphic meters to show various conditions such as Final PA temperature, PA voltage etc. Further more, the IC-7800 has a VGA connector for an external monitor and an S-meter connector for an external analog S-meter.

50MHz band preamplifier and mixer
While most HF/50MHz transceivers share the preamp between the HF bands and 50MHz band, the IC-7800 uses an exclusive preamp and mixer especially designed for the 50MHz band. This preamp and mixer are tuned to the 50MHz band and improve cross modulation characteristics, particularly important when picking up a very weak signal close to a strong station.

Digital Voice Recorder
The Digital Voice Recorder (DVR) is a convenient function for contests, DX-peditions, field day and even normal operation. Record your callsign, CQ, or other station information into a memory. Independent "Record (REC)" and "Play" buttons are on the front panel.

CF (Compact Flash) memory card
The IC-7800 has a CF card slot and a CF card will be supplied with the IC-7800. You can store your various settings such as filter, display, microphone equalizer, etc, on your card. When sharing the IC-7800 with multiple-users such as on a DX-pedition, in a contest or as a club rig, the CF card allows you to restore your personal settings instantly.

Digital twin PBT
The IC-7800 is equipped with DSP based twin PBT filtering.It provides excellent performance on a completely different level from analog filters. The passband width, shift direction and steps (50Hz) are graphically displayed on the LCD.
