EXPLICIT DEFINITIONSIMPORTANT

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This instruction manual contains basic operating instructions for the IC-9700

. For advance operating instructions, see the Advanced Manual for details. The Advance Manual is available at the following internet address: http://www.icom.co.jp/world/support/

FEATURES

• RF Direct Sampling System

The IC-9700 employs an RF direct sampling system. RF

signals are directly converted to digital data in the ADC, and then processed in the FPGA. This system is a leading technology, marking an epoch in amateur radio.

The 1200 MHz band uses a downconversion IF sampling.

• Real-Time Spectrum Scope

The spectrum scope is class-leading in resolution,

sweep speed and dynamic range. When you touch the scope screen on the intended signal, the touched area is

magnied. The large 4.3 inch color TFT touch LCD offers

intuitive operation.

• D-STAR operation

The IC-9700 has the D-STAR Repeater (DR) function.

Moreover, by using the DD mode, you can browse the Internet through a repeater station.

• Satellite operation

The IC-9700 has 99 satellite memory channels for both

uplink and downlink frequencies and mode.

• “IP+” Function

The IP Plus function improves 3rd order intercept point

(IP3) performance. When a weak signal is received

adjacent to strong interference, the AD converter is optimized against signal distortion.

• A 4.3 inch touch panel color display

• Multi-function control for easy settings

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Selecting a location

Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold or vibration, and other electromagnetic sources.

Never place the transceiver in areas such as:

• Temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C

(+140°F).

• An unstable place that slopes or vibrates.

• In direct sunlight.

• High humidity and temperature environments.

• Dusty environments.

• Noisy environments.

Using the desktop stands

The transceiver has a stand for desktop use.

Heat dissipation

• DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put anything on top of the transceiver. This may block

airow and overheat the transceiver.

• NEVER install the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.

• DO NOT touch the transceiver after transmitting continuously for long periods of time. The transceiver may become hot.

Grounding

To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver using the ground terminal [GND] 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.

Stand

NOTE: DO NOT hold the stand, dials and controls when you carry the transceiver. This may damage them.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could cause an explosion or electric shock.

Connecting an external DC power supply

Conrm that the transceiver is OFF before connecting

the DC power cable.

LRefer to Section 5 for details on the Scope screen.

About the Doppler effect: Since the speed of satellite is high, the uplink and downlink frequency appear to drift due to the Doppler effect. As the satellite is moving towards your station, the downlink or uplink frequency appears to be higher, and is lower as the satellite is moving away. Therefore, you need to precisely adjust the uplink or downlink frequency to compensate for the frequency drift.

adding a switching diode, such as an 1SS133, on the load

side of the circuit to absorb the counter-electromotive force. When the diode is added, a delay in relay switching may occur. Be sure to check its switching action before operating.

ZLIB DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY

zlib 1.2.8 is a general purpose data compression library. All the code is thread safe. The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs (Request for

Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the les http://

tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950 (zlib format),

rfc1951 (deate format) and rfc1952 (gzip

format).

All functions of the compression library are

documented in the le zlib.h (volunteer to

write man pages welcome, contact zlib@ gzip.org). A usage example of the library is

given in the le test/example.c which also

tests that the library is working correctly.

Another example is given in the le test/

minigzip.c. The compression library itself

is composed of all source les in the root

directory.

To compile all les and run the test program,

follow the instructions given at the top of

Makele.in. In short "./congure; make test",

and if that goes well, "make install" should

work for most avors of Unix. For Windows, use one of the special makeles in win32/ or

contrib/vstudio/ . For VMS, use make_vms. com.

Questions about zlib should be sent to <zlib@gzip.org>, or to Gilles Vollant <info@ winimage.com> for the Windows DLL version. The zlib home page is http://zlib. net/ . Before reporting a problem, please check this site to verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest version and check whether the problem still exists or not.

PLEASE read the zlib FAQ http://zlib.net/ zlib_faq.html before asking for help.

Mark Nelson <markn@ieee.org> wrote an article about zlib for the Jan. 1997 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available at http://marknelson.us/1997/01/01/ zlib-engine/ .

The changes made in version 1.2.8 are

documented in the le ChangeLog.

Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory contrib/ .

zlib is available in Java using the java.util.zip package, documented at http://java.sun.com/ developer/technicalArticles/Programming/ compression/ .

A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.org> is available at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, including http://search.cpan. org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-Zlib/ .

A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@amk.ca> is available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see http:// docs.python.org/library/zlib.html .

zlib is built into tcl: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4610 .

An experimental package to read and write

les in .zip format, written on top of zlib by

Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com>, is available in the contrib/minizip directory of zlib.

Notes for some targets:

- For Windows DLL versions, please see win32/DLL_FAQ.txt

- For 64-bit Irix, deate.c must be compiled

without any optimization. With

- O, one libpng test fails. The test works in

32 bit mode (with the -n32 compiler ag).

The compiler bug has been reported to SGI.

- zlib doesn't work with gcc 2.6.3 on a DEC 3000/300LX under OSF/1 2.1 it works when compiled with cc.

- On Digital Unix 4.0D (formely OSF/1) on AlphaServer, the cc option -std1 is necessary to get gzprintf working correctly.

This is done by congure.

- zlib doesn't work on HP-UX 9.05 with some versions of /bin/cc. It works with other compilers. Use "make test" to check your compiler.

- gzdopen is not supported on RISCOS or BEOS.

- For PalmOs, see http://palmzlib. sourceforge.net/

Acknowledgments:

The deate format used by zlib was dened by Phil Katz. The deate and zlib specications were written by L. Peter

Deutsch. Thanks to all the people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib; they are too numerous to cite here.
