The IC-706MKIIG carries on the '706' series tradition of base station
performance and features in a mobile rig-sized package. Building on this
legacy, frequency coverage is expanded to the 70 cm band and output
power is increased for the 2 m band. A long list of enhancements, both
to usability and performance, as well as added features and functions
have produced the latest in the evolution of the '706' series.
HF to
70 cm band coverage
Operating frequency range has been expanded to the 70 cm band. Of
course, all mode operation (SSB, CW, RTTY, AM and FM) is possible and a
full 100W of output power is available for HF and 6m operation; 50W for
2m and 20W for 70cm operation.
High
stability transmitter
MOS-FET power amplifiers are employed at the PA unit for all HF, 6m,
2m and 70cm bands. And, a one piece aluminum, diecast chassis with a
large cooling fan is employed. This combination provides stable, high
quality output with low IMD and low spurious emissions even during full
duty cycle and extended operation.
Illuminated keys and switches
Backlighting of keys and switches is a great help during nighttime
operation.the intensity is even adjustable!
Tone squelch standard
Tone squelch operation is available in FM mode for basic signalling
and quiet standby. Tone frequencies can be set independently for tone
squelch (Tx/Rx) and repeater tones, and a range of 50 frequencies is
available. A tone scan function is available to search for a repeater's
access tone quickly and easily.
DSP
features
DSP capabilities are available*.
These include noise reduction and auto notch functions. Superior receive
quality in your shack, vehicle or during DX'peditions.
*AF DSP; UT-106 DSP UNIT required for some
versions.
Compact with detachable panel*1
The IC-706MKIIG is very compact at 167(W) × 58(H) × 200(D) mm*2
and weighs a mere 2.5kg*3,
making it ideal for DX'peditions, etc. A detachable front panel allows
easy installation in your shack or in a wide variety of mobile
applications.
*1 An optional separation cable is
required;
*2 69/16(W)×29/32(H)×77/8(D) in;
*3 5.5 lb.
Automatic repeater function*
An automatic repeater function is available and repeater frequencies
can be programmed via a special operation. This eliminates the need for
repeater settings for 6m, 2m or 70cm repeater operation.
*Standard for USA version; programming required
for others.
Optional high frequency stability
±0.5 ppm of high frequency stability is provided when an optional
CR-282 HIGH STABILITY CRYSTAL UNIT is installed.
Simple operation
The individual band change key, a sub dial and quick band change
capability provide simple operation. The individual band change key
allows quick and easy QSY, the sub dial enhances mobile and memory
operation, and the quick band change capability selects pre-set
frequency bands with the last-used frequency and mode. Also, each band
can store preamplifier/attenuator and tuner on/off settings.
Simple
band scope function
This function sweeps ±14 steps from the displayed frequency and plots
received signal strength on the function display. This function is
useful not only for checking HF band conditions, but also seeking vacant
frequencies during VHF or UHF FM operation.
Narrow FM capability
For FM operation on the 10m or the 2m (where narrow FM is required)
bands, the IC-706MKIIG has narrow FM capability that allows you to take
advantage of this operating mode.
107 memory channels with alphanumeric name capability
99 channels can memorize both transmit and receive frequencies
separately; 6channels are for programmed scan edges; and 2 channels are
for call memory for the 2m and 70cm bands. And, up to 9-character
alphanumeric names can be programmed into each memory channel.
