ICOM IC-PW2 Pre-Relase Information

Iç-PW2

HF/50 MHz 1 kW LINEAR AMPLIFIER

High Performance 1 kW Linear Amplifier
with a 2 × 6 Automatic Antenna Selector

Controller detached configuration

with needle type meter screen example

Full Power and Full Duty Cycle Operation

A 65 V LDMOS module is used for the nal AMP. It effortlessly
provides 1 kW output* at full duty cycle.

(* 180–264 V AC required)

PA unit

Detachable Controller with Color Display

Supplied 3 m, 9.8 ft remote control cable enables the amplier
to be mounted in away from the radios for a big station installa­tion, in a small shack space.
The 4.3 inch color screen is a
touch screen with a graphical
user interface. Connected
antennas are graphically
shown on the display for easy
recognition.

Built-in Automatic Antenna Tuner

Built-in automatic antenna tuner can match the impedance of
the antenna to send maxi­mum power, and reduce the
r

eected power to avoid dam­age. Also, by using mechan­ical relays, you can quickly
change the oper
that has been tuned before.

Dualwatch Operation by One Radio

Iç-PW2

2 × 6 Automatic Antenna Selector

Two radio input connectors and six antenna connectors provide
fully automatic antenna switching capabilities. Each antenna can
be switched independently in conjunction when changing bands
on the radios. Moreover, even when transmitting on one radio,
the other radio can receive on a different band with the Trans­mitter lockout function. As a result, Single Operator Two Radios
(SO2R) operation in a contest can be realized with one IC-PW2.

Rx In/Out Connectors for External Equipment

User supplied bandpass lters (BPF), preamps and attenuators
can be connected to the [Rx In/Out] connectors. When two radios
are used with the IC-PW2, one multi-band BPF can be shared
with these radios by switching the receiving radio, according to
the transmission switching. In addition, the [BAND 1], [BAND 2]
data output terminals can separately change the band of con­nected external equipment.

Other Features

• High-efficiency and low noise cooling system

• With current Icom radios, various settings are easy, and you can

get the full performance of the IC-PW2

• Effortless operation, even when connected to non-Icom radios

• A LAN port for remote control operation from a PC*

• Various error detection circuits protect internal components

• An SD card slot on the front panel for rmware updates, and so on

•

[Remote 3] AUX jack for an antenna control with a CI-V commands

•

Antenna quick select function temporarily set to the preset antenna
connector such as for using a multi-band antenna or a dummy load

• TX radio selection from a contest logging software

*Software is in planning at this stage.
