Icom_IC-F7000
ICOM IC-F7000 HF Base/Mobile Transceiver
Advanced selective call and ALE make HF communication
easier than ever
The IC-F7000 is an HF land mobile transceiver especially
designed for long distance communications. Such communications
used to require specially skilled operators, but
the IC-F7000 makes HF LMR operation simple and efficient with the following
advanced functions and features.
Selective call
Uses a unique calling address like a telephone number
and allows you to make
a call directly to a desired station or group.
Compatible with other brands of radios.
ALE (Automatic Link Establishment) function
This function will check frequency propagation and
strength to automatically select the highest quality signal
for the best communication possible
Versatile configuration
The controller and speaker are separated from the main
unit.
Also, the size of the main unit in particular has been
reduced, so that the IC-F7000 can be installed almost anywhere.
Other capabilities available with Selective Call and
ALE:
Selcall
Make an individual/group call using a unique 4-digit (or
6-digit) address.
The receiving station sends back an acknowledge (ACK)
signal and the scanning stops to allow you to communicate.
Selective beacon call
Selective beacon call allows you to check the propagation
before an individual/group call.
The receiving station sends back an ACK signal an continues
scanning.
GPS beacon call
GPS beacon call* allows you to request the intended ID
station to send position information.
The receiving station automatically sends back position
information.
GPS position call
GPS position call* allows you to send your own position
information to the intended ID station.
Status call
Status call* requests to send radio status information
including power supply voltage, output power
and VSWR. This allows you to monitor the radio station
from a remote location.
Pagecall
Pagecall* allows you to send and receive up to 64-character
text messages with the intended ID station.
Received messages are recorded in the memory of the radio.
Telcall
Telcall** allows you to make a telephone call through
a telephone interconnect service provider.
Up to a 16-digit telephone number can be programmed.
Emergency selcall
Allows you to broadcast an emergency signal with own position
information.
RFDS emergency call
The RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) emergency call
uses a 2-Tone signal for an
emergency call. (Australia version only)
ALE sounding
Automatically sends a sounding signal at a certain interval
(0.5-16 hours) to check the channel propagation
and stores the data in a table.
ALE individual/net call
Automatically selects the best available channel using
the ALE table and establishes a connection.
The ALE system complies with the basic requirments of
MIL-STD 188-141-B ( Appendix A)
ALE AMD
Allows you to send and receive up to a 90-character text
message using the ALE function.
Received messages are stored in the memory of the radio.
Features and Benefits:
- Versatile configuration
The controller and speaker are separated from the main
(RF) unit for flexible installation.
A 6m separation cable is attached to the controller.
The main unit is only 72 mm in height, so there is almost no limit to the
places
where the IC-F7000 can be set-up. The supplied hand microphone,
HM-146, allows you to control most of the IC-F7000 functions.
- Large and clear indication
with the dot-matrix LCD
All operational and status information is easily viewed
on the full dot-matrix LCD.
Editing a message or reading a received message are meade
easy. Also 10 levels of LCD backlighting are available
for clear and bright illumination.
- 125W of powerful RF output
A full 125W*** of output power is available for reliable
long distance communication.
An effective cooling mechanism allows continuous transmission
at full output power
- Ample memory channels
The IC-F7000 stores 400 channels, 100 ALE, 100 telephone
numbers, 100 Selcall Ids and 120 ALE Ids.
20 pagecall with up to 64-character messages and 20 ALE,
including up to 90-character ALE AMD messages are stored
- General coverage receiver
Wide band, general coverage receive capability is
available from 0.5 to 29.999 MHz.
- Automatic tuning antenna
The AT230 automatic tuning antenna is recommended for
use with the IC-F7000.
The AT-230 fully covers 2-30 Mhz. It is also easily installed
to a vehicle.
Digital Signal Processor (DSP).
The DSP allows flexible filter setting for J2B
(AFSK), F1B (FSK) communication. Optional filters are not required for
improved filter performance.
- Other features
GPS input (NMEA0183 version 3.01)
External 32MHz reference input for accurate tunning.
Voice, S-metr and Call mute
Optional antenna tuner, AT-140 or AT-130 available
with antenna element, AH-2b.
Notes:
* GPS position call, GPS beacon cal, Pagecall and Status
call use Icom original commands. These calls may not be compatiblewith
other brands.
** Please consult with a telephone interconnect service
provider for details.
*** 100W only for Australia version and for 4MHz bands
