Dreams become true! If the IC-7800 was too large (for your desk or our wallet) - the best radio technology has moved within your range. The new Icom IC-7700 offers the best receiver technology, based on the profound experiences by Icom engineers. Plus a clean 200W transmitter, using 48V transistor technology for best linearity, the power supply is integrated. A newly designed bandfilter with large components and relays instead of pin diodes (all to alleviate intermod distortions) works in conjunction with the new "Digi-Sel" pre selector and achieves an IP3 of +40dBm at a dynamic range of 110dB! The straightforward receiver design (double superhet) with it's three selectable roofing filters warrants an unsurpassed receiver. This makes the IC-7700 an ideal radio for the ambitious contester and DX chaser.
