Icom IC-78 Base HF Transceiver
Reliable straight forward HF communications
The IC-78 is a high performance HF transceiver. Innovative features such as 99 memory channels, high C/N ratio, direct channel entering, data communication capabilities and more, offer easy operation for anyone. All these features come in a compact, rugged package that can be conveniently used in a base station or in a vehicle, as you prefer.
Durable, powerful construction
The IC-78 delivers a powerful 100 W of output power, providing the talk power you need to reach the most distant locations. Its one-piece, die-cast aluminum construction combined with a large heat sink, helps keep internal temperatures down and ensures that operation is stable at high duty cycles.
Simple operation
The IC-78 is equipped with a large easy-to-read LCD. A minimum number of switches and controls allow for superior feature selectability. Keys access functions directly__there's no secondary function key. You can enter your operating frequency, or memory channel number directly from the 10-key pad.
Ample 99 channels with 8-digit channel name capability
An affordable 99 duplex memory channels are available for storing individual transmit and receive frequencies, operating mode, filter setting, as well as 8-character channel names. You can enter channel assignments easily from the 10-key pad. In addition, an extra 1 call memory is available for storing the most often used, or most important frequency. An independent, one-touch recall switch is available.
Superior basic performance
A 4-element system is employed for the 1st receive mixer, providing superior receive IMD, especially from in-band, nearby interfering signals. A well-designed doubleconversion system to help minimize image and spurious responses for better signal fidelity, is also built-in. A newly designed PLL circuit has been adopted to improve C/N ratio characteristics. The combination of the 4-element system mixer and new PLL circuit allows superior basic performance.
Front mounted loud speaker
With the speaker facing the operator, audio sounds can be clearly heard without impediment during operation. It is no longer necessary to manually increase the volume to try and capture audio sounds.
High frequency stability
When the optional CR-338 HIGH STABILITY CRYSTAL UNIT is installed, it allows up to ±0.5 ppm of extremely high stable operation.
Flexible filter selection
An optional IF filter can be installed into the transceiver, providing 5 passband widths selectable in SSB, CW or RTTY modes.
