When the SEND terminal controls the inductive load (such as a relay), a counter-electromotive force can cause

the transceiver’s malfunction or damage. To prevent this, we recommend adding a switching diode, such as an “1SS133,” on the load side of the circuit to the counter-electromotive force absorption.

When the diode is added, a switching delay of the relay may occur. Be sure to check its switching action before

operation.

To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver using the GROUND terminal on the rear panel. For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a long ground rod. Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.

Antenna connection

For radio communications, the antenna is of critical im- portance, along with output power and receiver sensi- tivity. Select a well-matched 50 ø antenna and coaxial cable feedline. We recommend 1.5:1 or better Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) on your operating bands. The transmission line should be a coaxial cable. When using a single antenna (for the HF, 50/70 MHz bands), use the [ANT1] connector.

CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning by using a lightning arrestor.

Antenna connection

Connect the cable from your HF, 50/70 MHz antenna to the [ANT 1] connector. Connect the cable from your 144/430 MHz antenna to the [ANT 2] connector.

Antenna SWR

Each antenna is tuned for a speciﬁed frequency range, and the SWR usually increases outside the range. When the SWR is higher than approximately

2.0:1, the transceiver automatically reduces the trans- mit power to protect the ﬁnal transistors. In that case, an antenna tuner is useful to match the transceiver and antenna. Low SWR allows full power for transmit- ting. The IC-7100 has an SWR meter to continuously monitor the antenna SWR.

RWARNING!

฀•฀฀NEVER connect to a battery without supplying a DC fuse,

otherwise a ﬁre hazard occurs.

•฀฀NEVER connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.

The transceiver may not receive well on some frequencies when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or any type of electric vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This is because vehicle’s electric components such as the inverter system generate a lot of electric noise.

฀

•฀฀ DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a power source

when operating in a vehicle. The plug may cause voltage drops and ignition noise may be superimposed onto trans- mit or receive audio.

฀•฀฀Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC power cable

Linear Ampliﬁer Connections (Continued)

D Connecting฀a฀non-Icom฀linear฀amplier

To connect a non-Icom HF, 50/70*1 MHz bands linear ampliﬁer, see the diagram below.

*1 70 MHz band transmission is available, depending on the transceiver version.

*2 When connecting a 144 MHz or 430 MHz band's liner am-

pliﬁer, connect to [ANT2].

RWARNING!

The SEND terminal of the linear ampliﬁer must be connected to the HSEND (ACC connector pin 3) for the HF, 50/70* MHz bands, and to VSEND (ACC connector pin 7) for the 144/430 MHz bands. An external relay must be used.

* 70 MHz band transmission is available, depending on the transceiver version.

When the HSEND (or VSEND) terminal controls the inductive load (such as a relay), a counter-electromotive force can damage or cause the transceiver to malfunction. To prevent this, add a switching diode on the load side of the circuit to the counter-electromotive force absorption.

•฀We recommend adding a switching diode, such as an “1SS133”.

•฀฀

When the diode is added, a switching delay of the relay may occur. Be sure to check its switching action before operating.

The ALC input level must be in the range 0 V to –4 V. The transceiver does not accept positive voltage. Non-matched ALC and RF power settings could cause a ﬁre or damage the linear ampliﬁer.

When฀using฀a฀linear฀amplier฀such฀as฀IC-PW1/EURO,฀adjust฀the฀output฀power฀to฀stay฀within฀the฀ALC฀zone฀by฀pushing฀

(C). For ALC zone information, refer to ‘Basic transmit operation.’ (p. 3-23)

When using a linear ampliﬁer that has a time delay between receiving and transmitting, a high SWR might cause the linear ampliﬁer to malfunction. To prevent this, slow the TX Delay the “TX Delay” settings in the “Function” Set mode. (p. 17-19)

BASIC OPERATION

For reference to USA version

D About฀the฀5฀MHz฀frequency฀band฀operation฀(USA฀version฀only)

Operation on the 5 MHz frequency band is allowed on 5 discrete frequencies and must adhere to the follow- ing:

•฀The฀USB,฀USB Data, CW and PSK modes

•฀Maximum฀of฀100 watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power)

•฀2.8฀kHz฀bandwidth฀(maximum)

It is your responsibility to set all controls so that trans- mission in this frequency band meets the stringent con- ditions under which amateur operations may use these frequencies.

NOTE: We recommend that you store these frequen- cies, modes and ﬁlter settings into memory chan- nels, for easy recall.

To assist you in operating within the rules speciﬁed by the FCC, transmission is illegal on any frequencies other than the ﬁve shown in the tables at the right.

•฀For฀the฀USB฀mode

The FCC speciﬁes center frequencies on the 5 MHz fre- quency band. However, the transceiver displays carrier frequency. Therefore, tune the transceiver to 1.5 kHz below the speciﬁed FCC channel center frequency.

Repeater operation

A repeater receives transmitted signals and retransmits them on a different frequency. When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive fre- quency by a frequency offset. A repeater can be accessed using the duplex function by setting the frequency shift to the same value as the repeater’s frequency offset.

See Section 7, Section 8 and Section 9 for details on

accessing a D-STAR

repeater.

Touch the Memory channel indication once or twice q to select the VFO mode. Select the desired frequency band. (p. 3-6) w On the Mode selection screen, touch “FM” to select e the FM mode. Rotate the Dial to set the receive frequency (Repeat- r er output frequency).

✔ About the “P.AMP2” preampliﬁer

The preamp 2 is a high gain receive ampliﬁer. When it is used in the presence of strong electromagnetic ﬁelds, distortion sometimes results. In such cases, use either the “P.AMP1” or “P.AMP OFF” setting.

Preamp 2 is most effective when:

D Attenuator

The attenuator prevents a desired signal from being distorted when very strong signals are near the signal’s frequency, or when very strong electromagnetic ﬁelds, such as from broadcast stations are near your location. These can both be independently set for each band.

For your information

When you are receiving a weak signal, and a strong signal is momentarily received, the AGC function quickly reduces the receiver gain. When that signal disappears, the transceiver may not receive the weak signal because of the AGC action. In that case, hold down [AGC](D) for 1 second, and rotate the Dial to set the time constant to OFF.
