IF DSP
The latest IF DSP technology is employed in the IC-7200. While the
IC-7200 is an entry-class transceiver, advanced digital features are
comparable to higher class transceivers.
AGC
loop management
Distortion and blocking from strong nearby signals are prevented by
placing DSP functions inside the AGC loop. The AGC time constants are
selectable from fast, slow and off for each operating mode.
Digital IF filter
Optional
filters will never be required for the IC-7200. The built-in digital filter
allows you to flexibly select the filter width and shape from soft and
sharp* and provides cutting-edge filter characteristics.
*Filter shape is selectable for SSB and CW modes
only.
Manual notch filter
The manual notch filter delivers more than 70dB of attenuation. Strong
interring tones will be eliminated without adversely affecting the AGC loop
performance. ON the bottom right of the front panel, a dedicated control
knob adjusts the notch filter frequency.
Digital Twin PBT
Only Icom brings you twin passband tuning! Tailor your IF passband with
the Twin PBT by electronically shifting the upper and lower edges of the IF
filter. Depending on the use of the concentric knobs, you can either narrow
the IF passband, or shift the entire passband to eliminate interfering
signals.
Digital noise reduction
The digital noise reduction reduces background noise and improves the
signal-to-noise ratio. The noise reduction level is adjustable in 16 steps.
It improves the readability of voice and data signals.
Digital noise blanker
The noise blanker reduces pulse-type noise such as engine ignition and
sparking. The NB level and width (blanking duration) are adjustable in 100
steps.
High stability transmitter
The
DDA (Direct Digital Synthesizer) creates a clear, clean transmit signal and
improves the C/N ratio. With a dual-fan cooling system, the IC-7200 provides
stable high quality output even during high duty cycle operation.
USB port for PC control
The IC-7200 can be controlled by a PC through a USB port using the CI-V
data format. In addition, modulator and received audio can also be
transferred over the USB cable. By using appropriate external software, you
can record incoming calls and/or transmit preprogrammed messages from your
PC.

RF speech compressor
The digital RF speech compressor increases your average talk power in SSB
mode. Even when the compression level is increased, the DSP controlled RF
speech compressor provides low distortion audio.
CW mode operation
Full break-in, selectable CW carrier point (USB or LSB) and adjustable CW
pitch are also standard.
Tough construction against water intrusion*
Waterproof protection technologies that are used in Icom's marine radios
are applied to the buttons and knobs on the front panel to provide a measure
of protection against water intrusion.
*IC-7200 is not waterproof.
Rugged design for outdoor use
The rugged design of the IC-7200 means your enjoyment of this rig is not
limited to your shack only.
"Rear bumper"
The "rear bumper" protects various connectors on the rear panel and lets
you stand the radio on its rear end when the antenna is disconnected, such
as while moving or packing the radio.
