The purpose of this article is not to review every feature of the transceiver but to answer the questions that a six metre enthusiast is likely to ask. Key amongst these are, just how good is the rig at 50MHz and what are its weaknesses? The transceiver is loaded with features including all HF Bands with extended general coverage receiver, watts PEP output on 50MHz, built in ATU and power supply, electronic keyer with full break-in, very sophisticated VFO and memory channel control and much more. A selection of optional filters are available and remote transceiver control is possible using a PC. Portable or mobile operation is likely to be prohibited by the absence of a DC power option. It is clear that 50MHz was taken into account during the design of this transceiver by the ICOM engineers, although some design changes would have greatly added to its usability on the band. This allows for monitoring of European TV carriers and, looking forward to the peak of cycle 23, trans-continental signals just below the band. I have wondered if anyone knows of a modification that will extend the receiver coverage? In band receive sensitivity is good, although in practice the transceiver is operated with the pre-amplifier permanently in circuit. The analogue S meter is very linear and easy to read although ungenerous in its reading. Out of band receive sensitivity above 54MHz is markedly reduced. Sensitivity between 45MHz and 50MHz seems very good.

Second reason DSP radios can't handle noise, they just amplify it. Read our privacy policy.

This radio was sent to Icom for repair and it was returned unrepaired. Icom stated that the radio could not be repaired and that the motherboard was obsolete they normally would change out the motherboard, and not repair the damage. I was bound and determined to repair this radio, and I did! The receiver was dead when I first plugged in the radio. I removed the bottom cover to expose the receiver circuit board. I quickly came to the conclusion that damage to this extent had to be the result of a lightening strike. The receiver front-end was absolutely cooked, the circuit board was carbonized, and the surface-mounted components in the vicinity of the damage were missing vaporized.
