- You can find most this information on the Icom IC-7610 at the Icom America website. However, I am adding my own information to it. I hope you find this information useful. Icom IC-7610 Features. RTTY (FSK), PSK thru PC and/or decode on LCD. May also use a connected keyboard. Built-in automatic antenna tuner with an emergency mode.
- However, beware, as VE4HAY reports that the DTMF pad on the HM-56 will also work with the IC-746, but it's scan buttons will not. We have to be careful of the 'exact' model numbers. Icom confirms that the HM-118T will work with a suitable wired adapter.
- In the Icom reference manual, it looks like you have to build/decode a 'packet structure'. Packets begin with a FE FE sequence (preamble code) and terminate with a FD (end of message code). The actual commands are between these two sequences and are 8-bit hex codes. None of this looks like it would display, as you might expect TTY mode.
- Serial numbers before this may have been back to Icom for the upgrade anyway, but still need checking. 8Khz tone - Again a genuine problem, an 8khz tone could be heard in the rx audio, and again put right by Icom anything later than serial no 1001551 (2006) would have the B6250K logic board fitted in production, anything earlier would need.
'I am a volunteer with the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies in Homer, Alaska. On 4/29/12 I did a The serial number is 0187980. If the original owner reported it missing, it would be interesting to.

Once again, we are honored and excited to present a new Icom HF/6m transceiver.
The above photo illustrates the IC-7600 as presented at Tokyo HamFair 2008. The IC-7600 is a 100W-class HF/6m HF transceiver, utilizing Icom's well-known and proven IF-DSP architecture and feature set. Note the large TFT display screen. More information will be provided here as it becomes available.
The IC-7600 received FCC certification on February 9, 2009. FCC ID: AFJ307300.
In the photo below, it will be noted that the elimination of the moving-coil meter has freed up sufficient front-panel space to accommodate the IC-7600's larger TFT display.
Salient Points:
- 13.8V, 100W-class HF/6m transceiver
- 4-pin DC power connector on rear panel
- 3 roofing filters: 15, 6 and 3 kHz
- Dual Watch*
- +30 dBm IP3
- PIN Diode switched RF bandpass filters, common to RX and TX
- Single USB port on front (USB thumb drive/keyboard, TBD)
- Single USB port on rear (Rig Control)
- RTTY/PSK31 Encode/decode
- APF/TPF (CW Audio Peak Filter/RTTY Twin Peak Filter)
- Separate RX-OUT and RX-IN antenna ports
- allowing connection of external preselectors, multicouplers etc.
- Transverter port
- Preamps 1 and 2 usable when in transverter mode, unlike IC-756Pro series
- Transverter output range: -15 ~ -1.5 dBm
- Frequency display offset configurable via menu
- Audio controls similar to IC-7700
- TBW
- TX/RX audio controls
- Compression adjustable via menu
- Spectrum Scope features identical to IC-7700
- DSP Noise Blanker similar to IC-7700
- AM/CW auto tune
- IF filters and Twin PBT fully adjustable in AM mode
- No sensitivity degradation below 1.6 MHz
- Preamps 1 & 2 also usable below 1.6 MHz
- Improved PA temperature monitoring
- Temperature gauge displayed with Multi-Function Meter
- Initially reduces Po by 3 dB
- Then inhibits transmit
- Normal operation restored on cool-down
- Items not fitted:
- Digi-Sel
*Performance in DW reduced due to RF BPF bandwidth if signals are on different bands
