It offers not only ‘SSB, but also CW and RTTY. All of the circuits in the IC-701, including the driver and final power stages are completely solid state, and provide about 100 Watts output. COMPUTER COMPATIBLE TUNING SYSTEM The local oscillator circuit (VFO) employs a C-MOS LSI for the PLL that has been custom-made on the basis of ICOM's advanced digital technology. The VFO circuit is a digital PLL circuit that controls frequency determination by pulses produced by the tuning control. Unlike conventional PLLs, it controls the VCO by combining and dividing crystal oscillator frequencies. Therefore, its stability is much higher than conventional VFOs. In addition, the pulse control system makes it possible to set and change frequencies with external digital signals With a computer programmed and connected to the rear accessory socket, you can easily control frequencies, change bands, scan, on the IC-701. This system will give you the maximum of performance and versatility. DUAL DIGITAL VFO'S The 1C-701 contains two builtin digital VFO's located in ICOM’s custom LSI, providing the ultimate in versitility. DIGITAL READOUT AND FULL METERING The frequency is presented in bright easy to read LEDs, with no backlash or waiting time. The mulit-unction meter shows you relative signal strength in receive, power output, ALC, SWR, compression level, final transistor voltage and current. All the important information you need to know. PASS BAND TUNING AND SPEECH PROCESSOR “The IC-701 has a built-in Pass Band Tuning system developed by ICOM that allows you to continuously adjust the pass band of the IF, By turning the control, you can eliminate interference from a nearby signal, thus providing clear reception. It can also be used as a tone control. During transmit, the Pass Band Tuning circuit can be used as a Speech Processor providing increased "talk power” for outstanding DXing, OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE ‘The RF amplifier circuit using MOS FETs, the Schottky barrier diode balanced mixer and other circuits provide excellent Cross Modulation and Two-Signal Selectivity characteristics, The IC-701 has excellent sensitivity demanded especially for mobile operation, high stability, and with two Crystal Filters having high shape factors, exceptional selectivity. ‘The Same Schottky diode mixer is used in the transmitter, and, with the band pass filter and high performance K-Constant two stage low-pass filter, ensures transmission of pure signals with very low spurious emission. ADDITIONAL CIRCUITS The IC-701 has @ builtin Noise Blanker, VOX, an Auto Dimmer for control of the readout and meter illumination, CW Monitor, APC, SWR detector, and many other circuits for your convenience. ‘The IC-701 has everything you need to really enjoy HF operation, in an extremely compact, rugged transceiver.SECTION 3 LLATION BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE. 3-1 UNPACKING Carefully remove your transceiver from the packing carton and examine it for signs of shipping damage. Should any be apparent, notify the delivering carrier or dealer im- mediately, stating the full extent of the damage. It is, recommended you keep the shipping cartons. In the event, storage, moving, or reshipment becomes necessary they will be handy. Accessory cables, plugs, ete., are packed. Make sure you have not overlooked with the transceiver. anything.

The left side of the unit, when facing it, functions ‘also as a heatsink. The temperature there will usually become relatively warm during transmission. Any equipment should be at least 1 inch (Som) away from ‘the unit s0 at to provide good ventilation. Se sure that nothing is on and just behind the rear PA heatsink to ensure good ventilation, Also avoid places near outlets of heaters, air conditioners ete. 3, Place the unit so that the controls and switches can easily be handled and the frequency indication and meter can easily be read. 4, For mobile installation, an optional mounting bracket is available. Select the best location that can stand the ‘weight of the unit and that does not interfere with your driving in any way. 5. Use the Ground Lug! 3-3 POWER SUPPLY For AC operation, use the special power supply IC-701PS. If you would like to use your car battery or any other DC power supply, be sure that its output voltage is 12-15 Volts ‘and the current capacity is at least 20 Amps. The maximum ower consumption of the set during transmission runs from 16:20 Amps, so keep that in mind if the unit is installed in your automobile, and turn it on after you have started the engine. Attention should also be paid to the condition of the battery and electrical system. The connection of the DC power cord supplied with the 1C-701 is done in the following way: First make sure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position and ‘the T/R switch is in the receive position. Connect the cord, to the DC power supply with the RED lead to the positive terminal and the BLACK lead to the negative terming (Reverse connection will cause the protection circuit to ‘operate and blow the fuse.) Connect the DC plug to the socket on the rear panel of the IC-701. drawing below. Refer to the 3-4 ANTENNA Antennas play @ very important role in radio communi cation. If the antenna is inferior, your transceiver cannot, give you the best performance. With a good antenna and, feeder cable having 50 ohm impedance, you should easily {get the desired matching and performance. Carefully instal, a high performance antenna that suits the frequency band{s) you wish to operate on and place it as high as possible. Be especially careful of the condition of the ‘connectors as loose connections will deteriorate the per- formance. Be sure to connect the ground terminal of @ whip antenna, if used, to the bady of your car. ‘As the output is quite high, avoid connecting the antenna connector to open lines and do not ‘transmit under ‘mismatched conditions. Otherwise the final stage could be overloaded and cause a malfunetion of the unit. -3-3-5 GROUND In order to prevent electrical shocks, TV!, BCI and other problems, be sure to connect @ heavy wire ground, as short as possible, from a good earth point to the ground ‘terminal on the rear panel. 3-6 MICROPHONE ‘The microphone supplied with the IC-701 is the ICSM2 which contains a pre-amplifier. It's circuit diagram is shown below. The IC-SM2 is an Electret Condenser type microphone. Schematic diagram of 1-SM2 ‘TAY, TR2: 250536 or eauivatent A sensitivity control is installed on the bottom side of the mie stand, By turning it in the “H" or “L” direction, the sensitivity will increase or decrease respectively. Adjust the control s0 as to get the proper sensitivity considering the distance to the mic, the loudness of your voice and the environmental conditions. The wind screen not only prevents background noise due to wind, but also protects the mic, Unless required, do not remove the screen from ‘the mic, In order to operate the microphone, connect its plug to the mic socket on the IC-701. To transmit, press the PTT switch downward, When itis released, the IC-701 will return to the receive condition. For a long transmis- sion, pull the PTT switch back while pressing it down until the switch is lacked and it will remain in that position until pushed forward and released Lock RELEASE If you would like to use a different microphone in your car, an optional hand held dynamic microphone is available. If other types of microphones are used, be sure their impedance is between 600-600 ohms, and connect a 4 pin plug in the manner shown. ierophone plug exploded view Microphone connection Microphone Teotd side view) 3-7 CW KEY When operating GW, connect the Key to the Key Jack with ‘the plug supplied. The connection of the plug is shown below. If the terminals have polarity, be sure to make the correct ‘connection. Note that the keyed voltage when switching with semiconductors or relays with resistors in the circuit, should be adjusted to be below 0.4 Volts! 3-8 RTTY When operating RTTY, connect the ACC socket pins 8 (ground) and 9 to your tele-typewriter through a high speed relay or a level converter to TTL level, and the tones for, ‘your terminal unit will be available from pin 4. For details, refer to "How to use RTTY”, and "Transmit and Receive’ sections in this manual. ey Wiring Diagram Ww3-9 EXTERNAL SPEAKER The IC-701 contains an internal speaker, and is also designed so that it can drive an external speaker from the ‘external (EXT) speaker jack on the rear panel. Be sure the impedance of the external speaker is 8 ohms, and remember, that with the external speaker connected, the internal speaker is disabled. 3-10 HEADPHONES Any good headphone set, including stereo type, that have 4-16 ohms impedance can be used. With the plug inserted halfway into the PHONES jack, both the headphone and speaker will operate. This is convenient when others wish to listen in on the station, or you wish to record contacts, Using a tape recorder connected to the headphone jack. With a stereo headphone set inserted this way, however, ‘the headphone will lose the sound on one side. With the plug inserted completely, only the headphone works. 3-11 POWER SUPPLY It is highly recommended that you use the IC-701PS power supply for base operation. If you wish to use another ower source, make sure that it meets the voltage, current, ‘and regulation requirements. Pay particular attention to ‘the overvoltage protection as a runaway regulator can destroy the IC-701. Make certain that more than 18 Volts, does not get applied to the unit. When the power switch is in the ON position, do not connect the power cord, antenna, external speaker, Accessory plug, or the mi: {crophone to avoid possible trouble, Be sure not to transmit, with the antenna disconnected. If the fuse blows, replace it with a new 20 Amp fuse after fixing the cause. Avoid ‘turning the power switch ON and OFF repeatedly over 2 short time. Frequent repetitions may cause the frequency indicator to display the wrong frequencies. If such @ ‘malfunction should occur, turn OFF the switch and a few seconds later turn it ON a 3-12 CAUTIONS ‘As the unit has already been closely adjusted with highly sophisticated measuring instruments, never tamper with the turnable resistors, coils, trimmers, etc. IN THE PLL UNIT, THE HEART OF THE TRAN. SCEIVER, A C-MOS LSI IS INCORPORATED. IF THE SEAL IS BROKEN WHEN A FAILURE OCCURS WITHIN THE TERMS OF THE GUARANTEE, THE REPAIR MAY BE AT THE USERS EXPENSE, SO DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE PLL CASE! C-MOS is also used in the digital driver unit as well as the PLL. CMOS ICs are very susceptible to excessive static ‘charges and over current and care must be used when, handling them. Therefore, avoid touching the driver Unit and the nearby circuitry unless absolutely necessary. When it is necessary to check the circuitry, observe the following points. Ground all measuring instruments, the soldering iron, and other tools. Do nat connect or disconnect the CMOS IC. from its socket, or solder it when the power is ON. Do ‘not apply voltage of less than ~0.8 or more than +5 Volts, to the input terminals of the IC. DO NOT MEASURE WITH AN OHMMETER. 3-13 COOLING FAN The rear of the PA unit is designed to achieve effe natural cooling. But with 200 Watts input, the final stage Circuit produces quite a bit of heat and its temperature may rise during a very long, continuous transmission. If the ‘temperature becomes high enough, the builtin cooling fan will start to spin, The fan is connected to the temperature ‘monitoring circuit which detects the temperature of the final stage transistors. The operation of this fan is as, follows: 1, The fan does not work during all reception. 2. During transmission, it does not work if the detected ‘temperature is below a certain level. 3. When the temperature exceeds that level during @ transmission, the fan will start to move air across the heatsink to cool it. 4, If the temperature of the final stage transistors rises to the danger point, the fan will turn at a much higher speed and frequency display will start to flash. THIS MEANS STOP TRANSMITTING! 1, 2 and 3 are normal conditions. 4 is abnormal. If the meter and display start to flash, stop transmitting and check for the cause of the excess heat. This could be antenna mismatch, environmental problems, etc., but be sure to rectify the problem before beginning to operate again.ECTION 4 OPERATING CONTROLS 4-1 FRONT PANEL @DIAL LOCK INDICATOR LED- @ FREQUENCY DISPLAY 4 DIAL TS INDICATOR LEO- 8 TRANSMIT INDICATOR LED @ MULTI-FUNCTION METER: OMETER SELECT, SwireH @POWER SWITCH D COMP (SPEECH PROCESSOR | CONTROL, | omic Gain contaow’ ® AF GAIN CONTROL- (ORF GAIN CONTROL’ [MODE SELECT ‘SWITCH {2 PASS BAND TUNING: ®vFo swiTcH WRIT CONTROL 1. BAND SWITCH ‘The BAND SELECT SWITCH is a 7 position rotary switch Used for selecting one of the 6 Amateur bands covered by the IC-701 with a 7th position for external control The selectable bands are 1.8MHz, 3.5MHz, 7MHz, 14MHz, 21MHz and 28MHz, In the EXT position, the band can be selected remotely. However, the switch should not be put in the EXT position without having the remote control connected. This will cause the rotary switch to rotate continuously and may cause excessive wear or damage. 2 MULTI-FUNCTION METER, With the 1C-701 in the receive mode, this meter acts at an S meter regardless of the position of the meter select DIAL Lock suTToN—J TUNING CONTROL, NGS #2 TUNING SPEED BUTTON SPAGC SWITCH | _____parrenuator switch JB NOISE BLANKER SWITCH 1B VOX SWITCH ‘5 RIT SWITCH WTRANSMITIRECEIVE SWITCH switch, Signal strength is indicated on a scale of $1-$9 and $94+20dB to $9#604B.

Ve Indicates the collector voltage of the final transistors 2 le Indicates the collector current of the final ‘transistors. 3. Po Indicates the relative output power. SWR canbbe measured by placing the SWR/SWR SET switch in the SWR position, (This switch is located under the access cover on the top of ‘the IC-701, 4, ALC In this position, the meter begins to function when the RF output power reaches a certain level. 5. COMP Indicates the compression level when the speech, processor is in use. 4, POWER SWITCH ‘The POWER SWITCH is @ push-lock type switch which controls the input DC power to the IC-701. When the external AC power supply (IC-701PS) is used, the switch ‘also acts as the AC power supply switch. When the switch is pushed in and locked, power is supplied to the set. When the switch is pushed again and released, power is cut to all circuits except the PA unit. 5. PHONE JACK ‘This jack accepts a standard 1/4 inch headphone plug for 12 4-16 ohm headphone set. Stereo headphones can be used without modification, 6 MIC CONNECTOR Connect the supplied microphone or optional microphone to this jack. If you wish to use a different microphone than the IC-SM2, refer to the drawing on page 4. Mic- rophone impedance should be 500-600 ohms. 7. _ COMP (SPEECH PROCESSOR) CONTROL The IC-701 contains a builtin RF speech processor which is tured ON by turning the center knob clockwise from the OFF position (a click will be heard). In the ON position, it works as the RF drive control as explained below. In ‘the CW and RTTY modes, it works as the output level control of the IC-701. When RF speech processor operation is not desired, the COMP control should be turned completely counter-clockwise and clicked OFF. & MIC GAIN CONTROL Adjusts the level of modulation according to the input of ‘the microphone. Clockwise rotation increases microphone gain. As the input will very with different microphones and different voices, the knob should be turned until the MULTI-FUNCTION METER needle, in the ALC mode, starts to move slightly within the ALC zone. In the SSB. mode, with the RF speech processor in use, the MIC GAIN CONTROL sets the clipping limits, while the COMP. ‘control sets the RF drive level up to the maximum power level where ALC begins at the saturation point of the amplifiers. 9, AF GAIN CONTROL Controls the audio output level in the receive mode. Clockwise rotation increases audio output. 10. RF GAIN CONTROL Controls the gain of the RF section in the receive mode. Clockwise rotation gives the maximum gain. As the control is rotated counterclockwise, the needle of the MULTI-FUNCTION METER rises, and only signals stronger, than the level indicated by the needle will be heard. 11, MODE SELECT SWITCH ‘This switch selects the made of operation for both transmit and receive USB Upper Sideband, mainly for 14, 21 and 28MHz bands. LSB Lower Sideband, mainly for 1.8, 3.5 and 7MHz bands. CW Continuous Wave, for CW operation on all bands. CW.N Narrow CW. The audio band-pass filter is auto- ‘matically turned ON in this position to improve selectivity when receiving. RTTY Radio Teletype. For use on all available bands. 12. P. B. TUNE (PASS BAND TUNING) CONTROL, ‘This control allows continuous tuning of the pass band selectivity moving the edge of the filter up to 1.5KHz from either the upper or lower side in SSB and RTTY. This not ‘only improves selectivity, but also can improve the audio ‘quality. The normal position is in the center (12:00 o'clock) position and is 2.4KHz wide in SSB. 13. VFO SWITCH With this switch you can select the VFO you want to operate from two separate VFO's that are built-in to the 1C-701. It also selects the relationship of the two VFO". ‘The switch performs the following operations according 10 its position. + A: Selects “A” VFO for both transmit and receive. ‘+ B : Selects “8” VFO for both transmit and receive. + RATB : Selects “A” VFO for receive and "B" VFO for transmit + RB-TA : Selects “B” VFO for receive and “A” VFO for transmit. In addition, when the VFO is switched from “A” VFO to “B VFO, the frequency indicated on the frequency display Just prior to switching goes into a memory inside ‘the LSI. Thus even if “B’ VFO is being used, switching to “A” again will enable you to operate at the initial frequency. Switching from “"B"" to "A" results in the same operation. However, if swit done with the BAND SWITCH (or external control), the VFO frequency displayed will disappear and the lower end frequency of the band selected will be displayed. If you wish to operate fon the frequency that was memorized in the VFO that, ‘was not used when switching bands, simply return to the friginal band and then to the other VFO and the initiall, memorized frequency will appear. This is explained in more detail later in this manual, 14, RIT CONTROL Shifts the receiver frequency +800Hz either side of the transmit frequency. When the RIT is ON, the RIT LED is illuminated, The LED also represents the “0” position. Rotating the control to the (+) side raises the receiver frequency, and rotating to the (~) side lowers the receiver, frequency. With the RIT ON, if the tuning knob @) moved one increment, the RIT circuit is automatically pulsed OFF, Therefore itis not necessary to manually turn,OFF the RIT when changing operating frequency. The frequency shift by tuning the RIT Control is not indicated (on the frequency display, 18. RIT SWITCH This is @ springloaded switch for the RIT control. To ‘turn ON the RIT, push down once. If OFF is desired, push down again. When the RIT is ON the LED above the RIT control knob is lit. This also indicates the center position of the RIT control. With the RIT circuit OFF the LED Js also OFF. Also if the RIT is ON and the Tuning Knob, Js rotated one increment it will pulse the RIT OFF unless the internal jumper has been changed. 16. NB (NOISE BLANKER) SWITCH When pulse type noise such as automobile ignition noise is, Present, set this switch to the ON (down) Position. The noise will be reduced to provide comfortable reception. 17. AGC (AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL) SWITCH With this switch you can change the time constant on the AGC circuit. With the switch in the AGC (up) position, the circuit operates as a “hang” AGC and maintains the AGC voltage for a specific time, thus it is sultable for SSB reception. With the switch in the FAST (down) position, the circuit is OFF, and AGC is suitable for stations sutfe from fast fading or operating in the CW mode. 18. TRANSMIT/RECEIVE (T/R) SWITCH This switch is for manually switching from transmit to receive and vice versa. Set the switch to RECEIVE (up) and the IC-701 is in the receive mode. Set the switch to TRANSMIT (down) and When ‘switching with the PTT switch on the microphone or with the VOX switch set to ON the T/R switch must be in the RECEIVE position. switches to transmit. 19. VOX SWITCH ‘This switches the VOX circuit ON and OFF. When itis, in the ON (down) position, in SSB, T/R switching is ‘accomplished by means of a voice signal. In CW operation, sami-break-in switching by means of keying is possible. 20, ATT (ATTENUATOR) SWITCH Turn the ATT switch ON (down) when strong nearby signals disturb signal reception or make ’S" readings difficult. In the ON position, 2 1068 attenuator is inserted into the receiving antenna circuit, reducing interfering signals and giving more stable reception. In normal ‘operation the ATT switch is left in the OFF (up) position. 21, TUNING CONTROL KNOB Rotating the TUNING CONTROL KNOB clockwise in- creases the frequency, while rotating it counter-clockwise Gecreases the frequency. The frequency is changed in 100H2 steps which correspond to the smaller vernier ‘marks on the knob. The larger marks represent 1KHz steps. One complete rotation of the tuning knob results in a SKHz frequency increase or decrease in 100Hz steps exactly as shown by the small vernier marks. 22, TUNING SPEED BUTTON Pushing the TUNING SPEED BUTTON will illuminate the DIAL FAST display LED, and the small vernier marks on ‘the tuning knob are changed to correspond to 10KHz steps. ‘At the same time, the 1KHz and 100Hz digits are cleared fon the display to show 0.0", When the Tuning Speed Button is depressed again, the dial fast display LED goes OFF and the small vernier marks will again correspond to 100H2 steps. This button will allow you to quickly OSY over a great frequency range. 23. DIAL LOCK BUTTON After the IC-701 is set to a certain frequency for rag chewing, mobile operation, etc., pushing the DIAL LOCK BUTTON will illuminate the DIAL LOCK display LED and the VEO is electronically locked at the displayed frequency, thus inactivating the operation of the tuning knob. To change frequency, the dial lock must first be disengaged by pushing the dial lock button again. The dial lock display LED will go OFF and the frequency will ‘change with the direction of the tuning knob rotation, Turning the power OFF will release the dial lock and clear the displayed frequency. 24, FREQUENCY DISPLAY ‘The frequency of the 1C-701 is displayed on 7 segment LEDs, Since the 1MHz and 1KHz decimal points are displayed, the frequency can easily be read. The fre- ‘quencies indicated are the carrier frequencies of each mode in USB, LSB and CW. In the RTTY mode, the space frequency is displayed. Since the local oscillation frequency is shifted in accordance with modes, no tuning will be required if you change modes. Remember, if you tum the RIT control ON to change the receive frequency and rotate the RIT control knob, the frequency displayed will not change. 25, TRANSMIT INDICATOR LED When your set isin the transmit mode, this LED is lit. 26. DIAL TUNING SPEED INDICATOR LED Iluminates when the TUNING SPEED BUTTON is pressed to set the dial to fast tuning. 27. DIAL LOCK INDICATOR LED lumminates when the DIAL LOCK BUTTON is pressed to lock the dial4-2 CONTROLS UNDER ACCESS COVER se o1m swiTcH: OPRTTY SHIFT SWITCH: geswr swiTcH 3.W MONITOR CONTROL: @ SWR SET CONTROL: FREQUENCY SET CONTROL: DIM GAIN CONTROL: VOX DELAY CONTROL ANTI VOX CONTROL ‘CW DELAY CONTROL VOX GAIN CONTROL, 28. DIM SWITCH When this switch is set to DIM, the luminosity of the frequency display and the meter automatically decreases when the ambient level is reduced below a set level ‘Therefore, under dim lighting such as at night, it decreases, the luminosity to a lower level for easy indicator reading, When the switch is at the OFF position, the dimmer function is disabled. 29, RTTY SHIFT SWITCH This switch shifts transmit frequency and shift spacing Normally the shift is 170Hz, but in some cases 850Hz is still used, Set the switch for the desired shift. 30, SWR SWITCH When measuring SWR, calibration SET and SWR reading functions are selected with this switch, Remember, at the factory, the switch is in the SET position and fixed in place with a plastic screw to prevent it from switching to SWR. Remove the screw before attempting to read SWRI 'SWR must be read only in the Po meter position. 31, CW MONITOR (MONI) CONTROL Tris control adjusts the audio volume of the side tone (monitor) audio during CW transmit operation. Adjust it to your desired level for easy listening 32, SWR SET CONTROL This control calibrates the meter needle to the Po SET Position when you want to determine the value of SWR. The meter must be in the Po position and the set must be ‘transmitting a carrier. 33. FREQUENCY SET CONTROL This control is for fine adjustment of the VXO section frequency of the PLL unit, which is the local oscillator, frequency. Do not turn it unless you want to change the frequency. 34. VOX GAIN CONTROL ‘This control adjusts input signal level via the microphone to the VOX circuit. For VOX operation in SSB, adjust the control so that the VOX circuit will operate with normal speech, 35. CW DELAY (CW time delay constant) CONTROL In Semi-break-in CW operation, this controls the TX/RX switchover time delay. Adjust it to suit your keying speed. 36. ANTI VOX CONTROL In VOX (SSB) operation, the VOX circuit may be operated by sound from the speaker causing @ switch to transmit, ‘This trouble can be prevented by adjusting the input level, of the ANTI VOX circuit with this control along with the VOX gain control so that the VOX circuit only operates. from the operator's voice, not by sound from the speaker. 37. VOX DELAY (VOX time constant) CONTROL This controls the TX to RX switching time. Adjust it so TX to RX switching will not occur during short pauses in normal speech. 38. DIM GAIN (dimmer circuit) CONTROL, The threshold for the functioning of the dimmer circuit, can be adjusted by turning the DIM GAIN CONTROL. Turning the control counter-clockwise will lower the operation threshold of the circuit.REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS GPRECEIVER INPUT TERMINAL: @RECEIVER ANTENNA ‘OUTPUT TERMINAL: SANTTENA CONNECTOR: @EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK: KEY sack FUSE HOLDER: GROUND TERMINAL- 39.

For details, refer to page 20. 48, _X-VERTER (TRANSVERTER) TERMINAL VHF and UHF operation using a suitable transverter with the IC-701 is possible. This terminal is for Transverter The output is @ few milliwatts. Refer to the tranverters instruction for recommended hookup. 49. SCOPE TERMINAL This terminal brings out the 9.011MHez IF signal from the ‘mixer in the receiver. Not only observation of the received signal, but also of signals of a the selected band width are possible by using a panadaptor or panascope. =10-ECTION 5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5-1 HOW TO TUNE The following instructions are for tuning in any mode. Please read carefully and understand fully before turning fon your unit. Proper tuning is necessary for optimum, operation. 5-1-1 TUNING KNOB The transmit or receive frequency is displayed on 7 segment LEDs down to 100Hz digits. Rotating the tuning knob clockwise increases the frequency, while turning counter: clockwise decreases the frequency in 100Hz steps. The smaller vernier marks on the knob represent 100Hz and the larger marks represent 1KHz. One complete rotation of the tuning knob results in a SKHz frequency increase or decrease. When you receive your set, calibration of the tuning knob may be desirable, as the large increments may not correspond exactly to a change of 1KHz displayed on. the LEDs. Exact calibration is not necessary as the displayed LED frequency will always be correct, but you may calibrate the scale on the tuning knob for use as an ‘analog type frequency display. To calibrate, set a large increment on the tuning scale to line up with the indicator arrow directly above the scale and then turn ON the power. To calibrate the scale during operation, if desired, set a large increment on the tuning scale to line up with the indicator arrow and then push the tuning speed button TWICE, By doing so, the 1KHz and 100Hz digits are Cleared on the display to show "0.0" The tuning knob scale may require recalibration if you: 1, Turn the knob while the frequency is locked by use of the Dial Lock Button. 2. Use the tuning speed button when a large increment is not lined up with the indicator. 3, Tur the knob beyond the band edge. If the knob is too loote or too stiff for comforatble use, you can adjust the torque by tightening or loosening the brake adjustment serew accessable from underneath the set. Brake adjustment serow Brake Adjustment ‘The following instructions should be used to adjust the tension of the Tuning Knob, 1. Remove the bottom cover of the IC-701. 2. The Tuning knob tension will become tighter by turning ‘the brake adjustment screw clockwise, and will become looser by turning the screw counterclockwise. 3. While performing this adjustment, the Tuning knob must, be turned continuously as the screw is adjusted in order to set the tension for @ comfortable touch. 4, After the adjustment has been made, replace the bottom (On all but the 28MHz band, the displayed frequency will ‘not go beyond the highest band edge even by turning the ‘tuning knob clockwise, or beyond the lowest band edge by ‘turning the knob counterclockwise. On the 28MHz band, since this band width is much wider than the others, the 1C-701 provides “automatic revert” for operating con- venience. When the frequency display shows 29.999.9MHz and the tuning knob is turned clockwise, the displayed frequency jumps down to 28,000.0MHz and continues up from there. Likewiee, by continuing to turn counter-clock: wise beyond the bottom edge of the band, the frequency, jumps up from 28,000.0MHz to 29,999.9MHz and goes down from that point. ‘The displayed frequeney shows the carrier frequency in the USB, LSB and CW modes, and the SPACE frequency in the RTTY mode. Therefore recalibration of the frequency is Unnecessary when the mode is changed, 5-1-2 DIAL LOCK BUTTON ‘After the IC-701 is set at a certain frequency for rag chew: ing, mobile operation, etc., pushing the Dial Lock button will illuminate the Dial Lock LED and the VFO is locked at the displayed frequency, thus inactivating the operation of the tuning knob. To change the frequency, the Dial Lock. must first be disengaged by pushing the dial lock button ‘again. The Dial Lock display LED will go OFF, and the frequency will change with the direction of the tuning knob rotation. Turning OFF the power will release the Dial Lock. and clear the displayed frequency. 5-1-3 TUNING SPEED BUTTON Pushing the Tuning Speed Button will illuminate the dial fast LED and the small vernier marks on the Tuning Knob is changed to correspond to 10KHz steps. At the same time, the 1KHz and 100Hz digits are cleared on the display to show "0.0", When the Tuning Speed Button is depressed again, the dial fast display LED goes OFF and the small vernier marks will again correspond to 100Hz steps. This button will allow you to quickly OSY over a great frequency range 5-1-4 VFO SELECT SWITCH The LSI in the IC-701 contains two “VFO's” for both receiving and transmitting, The VFO's are labeled “A” VFO and “"B” VFO and are selectable with the VFO Select Switch. This dual VFO system gives the IC-701 many very convenient features. Please read this section very carefully ‘and perform the operation several times until you are comfortable with the system, ae1. “A” VFO is for both transmitting and receiving and is selected by placing the VFO Select switch in the “A’” position. The transmit and receive frequency will be controlled by “A” VFO, displayed on the LED fre- quency readout, and stored in "AY" memory. 2. "B" VFO is for both transmitting and receiving and is selected by placing the VFO Select switch in the "B’” Position. The transmit and receive frequency will be controlled by “8” VFO, displayed on the LED fre- ‘quency readout, and stored in “B'" memory. 3. RA-TB: The receive frequency is controlled by “A’ \VFO and the transmit frequency is controlled by “B” VFO. Both frequencies are stored in their respective memories, and displayed during their respective ope- ration times (“A frequency during receive, and frequency during transmit). 4, RB-TA: The receive frequency is controlled by “B” VFO and the transmit frequency is controlled by “A’” VFO, the reverse of the above. Again, both frequencies are stored in their respective memories, and displayed during their respective operation times (this time “"B”" frequency during receive and “A” frequency during transmit). When the IC-701 is first turned ON, the frequency displayed fon the LED readout is the lowest frequency limit of the band selected by the band switch. FOR EXAMPLE: If the band switch is set to the 7MHz band, when the set is turned ON, 7.000.0 will be displayed on the LED readout. ‘This will occur whether the VFO switch isin either the “A” (oF "8" or combination VFO position. Rotating the tuning knob clockwise will increase the frequency in 100H2 steps, Rotating the tuning knob counter-clockwise will decrease the frequency in 100Hz steps. Note: Rotating the knob: counterclockwise immediately after applying power will not lower the frequency as itis already at the lowest limit. Switching from one VFO to the other VFO does not clear the first VFO. The frequency is retained in the VFO's memory, EXAMPLE If 14.125.0MHE is set with "A’” VFO, and the VFO switch is set to “B VFO, the frequency LED readout will show "B"" VFO's frequency, but 14.125.0MHz js still stored in "A" VFO's memory. Returning the VFO switch to “A VFO position, and 14.126. will be displayed on the readout. Accordingly, if the switch is placed in the “B” VFO position, the frequency thet was set with the “B” VFO will appear. This allows you to set a certain frequency with one VFO, work up and down the band with the other, VFO, and periodically check the set frequency simply by switching between ““A"” and "B" VFO. It also allows you to search for aclear frequency with one VFO, while keeping Your operating frequency on the other VFO. When you. have found a clear frequency, switch back to your operating frequency, inform the station you are in contact with of the new frequency, and switch back. It's that simplet Tho IC-701 will perform this operation even on two dif. ferent bands. A frequency is set in either “A” or "B” VFO. ‘on one band, the VFO switch is set to the other VFO, and the band switch set to any other band you wish to work. When you want to go back to the set frequency, first return to the original band and then to the original VFO and you're back on the set frequency. FOR EXAMPLE Set “A” VFO to 14,255.0MHz. Set the VFO switch to “B" VFO, Switch to the 21MHz band. The frequency readout will read 21.000.0MHz, Operate anywhere you wish with “B" VFO. When you want to return to 14.256.0MHz, first switch back to the 14MHz band. Then switch to “A” VFO and the frequency readout will show 14.256.0MHz, ‘When recalling a memorized frequency be sure to turn OF F the dial fast circuit. If the circuit is not turned OFF, the memorized frequency’s 1KHz and 100Hz digits will both revert to "0". RA-TB/RB-TA ‘These positions will allow you to operate split transmit/ receive frequencies on the same band. EXAMPLE: Set “A VFO to 14.350.0MHz and “B"" VFO to 14.255.0, MHz, Then set the VFO select switch to the RA-TB position, 14.350MHz will shown on the readout during receive (“A" VFO) and 14,255.0MHz during transmit ("B" VFO). You are now receiving on 14.350.0MHz and ‘transmitting on 14.255.0MHz, Setting the VFO select switch to RB-TA r” rses the above. ‘Changing bands in these modes resets both “A and “B” \VFO to the lowest band limit. 5-1-5 RIT (RECEIVER INCREMEMTAL TUNING) By using the RIT circuit, you can shift the receive fre- queney #800Hz either side of the transmit frequency ‘without moving the transmit frequency itself. Therefore, when you get a call slightly off frequency, or when the other station’s frequency has shifted, you can tune in the frequency without disturbing the transmitting frequency. By pushing the RIT switch down once (it’s a spring loaded switch) the RIT circuit is turned ON and the RIT LED is lit ‘The receive frequency is shifted with the RIT knob, When the RIT knob isin the “0” position, the transmitting and receiving frequencies are the same. Rotating the control to the (+) side raises the receiving frequency, and rotating to the (~) side lowers the frequency. To turn OFF the RIT control, again push on the RIT switch and the RIT LED will go OFF. When the RIT circuit is OFF, the transmit and receive frequencies are the same regardless of, =the setting of the RIT control knob. When the RIT circuit is ON, if the tuning knob is moved by ‘one increment, the RIT circuit is automatically pulsed OFF. However, this function can be eliminated by changing the connecting pins in the driver unit as shown below, in case you would like the RIT to remain operational when you turn the tuning knob. Or, by continuously depressing ‘the RIT switch with your finger, while turning the tuning knob, the RIT circuit will remain operational while tuning. Other things to remember are: The RIT circuit is ope- rational when the frequency is locked with the dial lock button, The frequency shifted by tuning the RIT control is not indicated on the frequency display. When the transmitting and receiving frequencies differ by more than 800Hz, use “A” and “B” VFOs as outlined previously. 5-2 SSB OPERATION 6-2-1 RECEIVING: After connecting an antenna, microphone, ete., set knobs ‘and switches as follows. POWER SWITCH oFF TR SWITCH RECEIVE (UP) VOX SWITCH OFF (UP) ATT SWITCH OFF (UP) AGC SWITCH SLOW (UP) NOISE BLANKER (NB) SWITCH OFF (UP) MODE SELECT SWITCH USB or LSB Desired Band Completely Counter-clockwise Completely Clockwise Center (12 o‘clock) position Center (12 o'clock) position VFO SWITCH BAND SELECT SWITCH AF GAIN CONTROL RF GAIN CONTROL PB, TUNE CONTROL, RIT CONTROL eee The other knobs are unrelated to receiving and need not be set at this time. In SSB operation there is both an USB (upper side band) ‘and an LSB (lower side band). LSB is usually used on the 1.8, 3. and 7MHz bands, while USB is usually used on the 14, 21 and 28MHz bands. Select the mode according to the band in which you wish to operate. Now turn ON the power switch. The meter lamp will be illuminated and the lowest frequency of the selected band will be shown on the LED readout. Slowly turn the AF. gain control clockwise to a comfortable level. Rotate the ‘tuning knob until a signal is received. The multi-function, meter needle will move according to the signal strength, so tune for the highest possible meter reading and the clearest audio. If you cannot get 2 clear signal, you may be receiv- ing in the opposite sideband. If so, change the mode switch to the proper sideband. ‘The VFOs in the IC-701 change in 100H2 steps. Therefore ‘the maximum possible difference in your receiving fre- ‘quency and the received signal frequency is S0Hz. However, for normal voice signal reception, a difference of SOHz is negligible and indeed may be hard to distinguish. Since the frequency is changed in 100Hz steps with the IC-701, as, ‘opposed to continuous variable frequency systems, tuning is simplified and more accurate. 5-2-2 NB (NOISE BLANKER) ‘Turn the noise blanker ON (down) when there is pulse type noise, such as ignition noise from automobile motors. Noise will be suppressed and even weak signals will be received comfortably. The noise blanker may not work as effectively when there is @ strong signal on @ nearby fre- queney or when there is continuous (not pulse type) noise. 5-2-3 AGC (AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL) ‘The IC-701 has a “hang” AGC system which holds the peak. voltage of rectified AF signals from the detector circuit for ‘a certain period. Therefore, during the pauses in normal speech of the received signal, uncomfortable noises will not be heard. The multi-function meter indicates the peak value for a certain period, facilitating reading of the meter, "S" function. For normal SSB reception, set the AGC switch in the UP (slow) position. Set the AGC switch in the FAST (down) Position, when tuning or receiving signals with short interval fading. When in the FAST position, the hang AGC circuit turned OFF and the time constant is shortened. Use the FAST position for RTTY reception. 5-2-4 ATT (ATTENUATOR) SWITCH Turn the ATT switch ON (down) when strong nearby signals disturb signal reception or make “"S” reading dif- ficult. In the ON position a 1048 attenuator is inserted into the receiving antenna circuit, reducing interfering signals and giving more stable reception. In normal operation the ATT switch is left in the OFF (up) position. 5-2-5 P.B. (PASS BAND) TUNING Pass Band Tuning isa system in the receive mode to narrow the band width (selectivity) of the frequencies that will pass ‘through the crystal filter electrically from either the upper or lower side continuously by up to 1.5KHz. This is very =B-effective in reducing interference from nearby signals. For example, while receiving in the LSB mode, if you get interference from a lower frequency (interfering signals are high pitched tones), narrow the band width by turning the P. B. tuning control counter-clockwise. When the interfer- ing signals are low pitched tones, they are from a higher frequency, and you should narrow the band width by turning the P. B. tuning control clockwise. When receiving in the USB mode, the band width is nar- rowed in the opposite manner. Interference from a higher frequency will be high pitched tones, and the P. B. tuning control should be turned clockwise, Interference from a ower frequency will be low pitched tones and the P. B. tuning control is turned counter clockwise ‘This control can also be used for audio tone adjustment, so, it may be set for the most comfortable reception. The Pass Band Tune functions only in SSB and RTTY, not in the (CW mode. 5-2-6 TRANSMITTING Before transmitting, listen in the receive mode to make sure your transmission will not interfer with other communi: cations. If possible, use a dummy load for adjustment instead of an antenna. Set knobs and switches as follows. MIC GAIN CENTER COMP CONTROL OFF (counter-clockwise til it “elicks”) METER SELECT SWITCH ALC (Other knobs and switches are left in the same positions as for receiving, When the T/R switch is moved to transmit, ‘or when the PTT (push to talk) switch on the microphone is depressed, the transmit LED is illuminated. By speaking into the microphone, the meter needle will move according to the strength of your voice and SSB signals will be transmitted. Set the MIC Gain control so that the meter needle stays well within the blue ALC zone at voice peaks. Now set the Meter Select switch to the le position. The ‘meter needle should be at about 300mA with no signals, Into the microphone. Change to the receive mode by moving the T/R switch to receive, or release the mi- crophone PTT switch. 5-2-7 HOW TO USE THE SPEECH PROCESSOR. The IC-701 has a low distortion RF Speech Processor built into the set. In equipment having tubes for the final stage, using an RF Speech Processor causes concern about, possible tube damage caused by the increase in talk power. However, since the IC-701 is completely solid state, includ- ing the finals, and designed for heavy duty use, this worry is eliminated. The RF Speech Processor also enables ‘greater talk power and better results in DX operation. Follow the steps below for use of the RF Speech Processor: MIC GAIN CONTROL, TURN FULLY CLOCKWISE METER SELECT SWITCH ALC POSITION COMP CONTROL, TURN FROM THE OFF POSITION UNTIL IT “CLICKS” ON Switch to transmit and turn the COMP contro! slowly clockwise while speaking into the microphone until the moter needle moves within the ALC blue zone. (usually about 2/8 clockwise) ‘Set the meter select switch to the COMP position. Speak into the microphone while transmitting. Turn the MIC ga control down (CCW) so that at the voice peaks, the meter needle is close to “0 on the COMP scale. Further reduction of the MIC GAIN control to a point where the meter just moves in both COMP and ALC positions yields the best voice quality and maximum peak (not average) power output. ‘The mic gain and compression levels vary on different bands, soit will sometimes be necessary to repeat the above procedures carefully for the best result. ‘The COMP control should be turned OFF or MIC carefully. set for minimum comp as below for all communications ‘other than DX operation for a very natural voice quality. 5-2-8 HOW TO USE THE VOX CIRCUIT ‘The IC-701 has a built-in VOX (voice operated relay) which allows automatic T/R switching by voice signals into the microphone, For VOX use, set the knobs inside the top, ueaccess cover as follows: VOX GAIN CONTROL FULLY COUNTER-CLOCKWISE ANTI VOX CONTROL FULLY COUNTER-CLOCKWISE VOX DELAY CONTROL FULLY CLOCKWISE Turn the VOX switch on the front panel to the ON (down) Position. Leaving the T/R switch in the receive position ‘and without pushing the PTT switeh, turn the VOX gain control clockwise while speaking into the microphone. At a certain point, the T/R switching circuit will be activated by your voice. This is the proper position for the VOX Gain control. Set the VOX Gain control at a level which provides for T/R switching at your normal voice level ‘Transmitrelease time (the time delay before the set auto- matically returns to receive when you stop talking) is controlled by the VOX delay control. Turning the control counter-clockwise makes the time shorter. Set it at a position which is comfortable and which allows for short ‘pauses in normal speech. Adjust the ANTI VOX control so that the VOX circuit is riot activated by sounds from the speaker by turning the control clockwise while receiving a signal 5-3 CW OPERATION 5-3-1 RECEIVING For CW reception, set the MODE Select Switch to the CW for CW-N position. Other switches and knobs are set the same as for SSB reception. The Pass Band Tune circuit is preset internally for CW reception, therefore, when the MODE Select Switch is set at the CW or CW-N (CW NARROW) position, the Pass Band tuning control on the front panel is inactivated. In addition to a crystal band pass filter, an audio active filter is built-into this unit. When the MODE Select Switch Js set at the CW-N position, this audio filter is activated and the total selectivity of CW reception is improved. Also, with this filter, internal noise is reduced for comfortable CW reception and an improved signal to noise (S/N) ratio. 5-3-2 TRANSMITTING Insert the keyer plug into the KEY Jack on the rear panel Of the unit, and set knobs and switches as follows: COMP CONTROL, OFF (Fully counterclockwise) METER SELECT SWITCH Po POSITION Other knobs and switches are set the same as for CW reception. By setting the T/R switch to Transmit, the transmit LED is lit and shows that you are ready for CW transmission. When you key the keyer, the meter needle moves and your, ‘QW signal is transmitted. To decrease the transmitting ower, turn the COMP Control clockwise to ON and rotate ‘to adjust while watching the meter needle on the Po scale for the desired output power. 5-3-3 CW MONITOR When keying, the side tone oscillator circuit is activated ‘and a 900Hz tone is heard from the speaker. The loudness of this tone is adjusted by rotative the CW MONI Control, located under the access cover. Rotating the CW MONI Control clockwise makes the tone louder. (In the receive mode, this side tone is audible and can therefore be used for Morse Code Practice, adjustment of the keyer, etc.) To receive again, place the T/R switch in the receive position. 5-3-4 SEMI BREAK-IN OPERATION ‘The IC-701 has Semi Break-In CW capability when using ‘the VOX function. When keying, the unit is automatically sot in the transmit mode. After keying, it is returned to the receive mode, also automatically, after @ given transmit- lease delay time constant, Leave the T/R switch in the Receive position, and set the VOX switch in the ON (down) Position. ‘The transmit release delay time constant is set by adjusting the CW DELAY Control located under the access cover. Turning the CW DELAY Control clockwise will make the ‘transmit release time longer. Set for your keying speed. 5-4 RTTY OPERATION For RTTY operation, a teletypewriter and @ demodulator (terminal unit) which is operational with audio input are necessary. Any demodulator with 2125/2296Hz (narrow, 170Hz shift) or 2125/2975Hz (wide, B50Hz shift) filters ‘can be used with the IC-701. You can select NARROW or WIDE shifts by setting the RTTY SHIFT Switch, located under the Access Cover, to Nor W. Fine adjustment of the MARK frequency can be accomplished by rotating the NARROW or WIDE variable resistors, located behind the RTTY SHIFT Switch 5-4-1 RECEIVING ‘Audio signals for the demodulator can be supplied from Pin 4 of the ACC socket on the rear panel, or from the PHONES jack on the front panel. The level of the audio signals from Pin 4 of the ACC socket does not vary by turning the AF GAIN Control. ‘Set the MODE Select Switch to RTTY. The frequencies, for NARROW shift are 2298Hz for MARK and 2125Hz for SPACE. For WIDE SHIFT, they are 2975Hz for MARK and 2125Hz for SPACE. If you have an AFSK generator, set the MODE Select ‘Switch on LSB for RTTY operation. Then the frequencies for NARROW SHIFT are 2295Hz for SPACE and 2125Hz afor MARK. For WIDE SHIFT, they are 2975Hz for When a level converter for TTL level signals is used, connect SPACE and 2125Hz for MARK. Also turn the P. B. Tune the output of the converter to Pins 8 (ground) and 9 of the control fully clockwise for clear reception, ‘ACC socket. Apply HIGH level (SV) signals for the MARK and LOW (OV) signals for the SPACE. When using an 5-4-2 TRANSMITTING AFSK generator that has 2125Hz for MARK and 2295H2 For Keying of the FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) circuit, (2975Hz in wide shift) for SPACE, connect the output insert a high speed relay’s coil into the loop current circuit signals for the AFSK generator to the MIC connector on of the teletypewriter and connect the relay contacts to Pins the front panel and turn the MODE Select switch to the 8 and 9 of the ACC socket on the rear panel, The relay LSB mode. In this cate, you can use the VOX operation contacts make during the SPACE and break during the available in the SSB mode, so receive to transmit change MARK. over is very easy.

Set the METER Select switch to the Po position, the T/R, switch to Transmit, and Mode switch to the RTTY position. Adjust the SWR SET control so that the meter needle points to "SET" on the meter scale. Set the SWR switch, located under the access cover, to the SWR position. (Before your unit is shipped, the SWR switch is fixed in place in the SET position with a plastic screw. Remove this sorew before trying to make VSWR readings). With the switch in the SWR position, SWR reading can be seen fon the meter. Although this unit is built to handle VSWR. fof up to 2:1, it is recommended that the antenna(s) be adjusted for the lowest possible VSWR. After taking the reading, return the switch to the SET position. ALSO BE SURE THAT THE ANTENNA IMPEDANCE IS 52 OHMS, OR THERE MAY NOT BE ANY OUTPUT. OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSCEIVER, The final transistors used in the IC-701 are of good design and are protected to @ resonable extent by circuits incorporated in the set, These devices can be expected to have an indefinite lifetime since there are no cathodes to burn out, Under some conditions, however, they can be abused beyond tolerance and may have to be replaced, When in doubt about antenna systems, use the lowest ower setting possible to achieve meaningful readings. Use ‘good tuner or transmatch when necessary. Always use caution and exercise judgement when testing RF power generators. 5-5-2 AUTO DIMMER For optimum visual comfort, the meter lamp and frequency display LEDs are automatically dimmed and brightened depending on the brightness or darkness of the surrounding light by use of a builtin Dimmer Photosensor, located on the right side of the frequency display on the front panel For the AUTO DIMMER to function properly, take care that the dimmer photosensor is not covered by your hand, fF other object. ‘The threshold for the functioning of the AUTO DIMMER, ‘can be adjusted by turning the DIM GAIN Control, located Under the access cover. Rotating the control counter. clockwise will lower the operation threshold of the circuit. ‘The circuit can be turned OFF by the DIM switch located also under the access cover. 5-5-3 WWV RECEPTION To receive WWV (or other standard frequency station), set the BAND SELECT switch to the 14MHz band and the MODE switch to the USB or LSB position. Tune to 15.000.0MHz on the frequency display. The WWV signal ccan be used for alignment of a frequency counter, marker oscillator, or the frequency display. 5-8-4 SIMPLE FREQUENCY ALIGNMENT ‘A very accurate frequency counter is necessary to align the frequency of the IC-701. However, the frequency can be aligned simply by receiving the WWV sign 1, Set the frequency display to 18,000,0MHz and be sure that you are receiving the WWV signal. 2. Set the Mode Select switch to CW. A 900Hz beat can be heard. 3, Short the KEY Jack on the rear panel so that the CW. sidetone also becomes aueible. 4, Rotate the FREQUENCY SET Control, located under ‘the access cover, so that the two tones are of the same pitch. If the tones are difficult to adjust because of a =difference in their strengths, adjust the CW sidetone level with the CW MONI control, also located under the access cover, until the strengths are the same. WHEN ALIGNING THE FREQUENCY, DO NOT PUT ‘THE UNIT IN THE TRANSMIT MODE’ Be sure the T/R switch is in the Receive position, the VOX switch is OFF, and that you do not touch the PTT switch ‘on the microphone. 5-5-5 SATELLITE COMMUNICTION ‘At present there are two active satellites for amatuer radio Use, though more are being planned. AMSAT OSCAR 7 ‘was launched in November, 1974, and AMSAT OSCAR 8 ‘was launched in March, 1978. Satellite communications ‘can be made by using an 1C-211/211E for transmitting and an IC-701 for receiving. For operation of the 1C-211/211E and the 1C-701 and for frequency information, refer to the chart below. Since communication satellites are moving at very high speeds, the downlink signals can be heard on a higher frequency than the real frequency as @ satellite approaches, and on a lower frequency as it travels further away.

A pulse generated by the optical chopper circuit, located at the tuning knob, is digitalized by the up/down counter in the LSI (ICOM's custom developed Large Scale Integrated circuit) and used to control a programmable divider, also located inside the LSI chip. The programmable divider controls the PLL circuit which determines the output frequency of the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) In the receiver section, signals from the antenna are mixed with the local oscillator output from the PLL circuit. After passing through the pass band tuning circuit, the signals are amplified then detected to become audio signals, amplified again and sent to the speaker. The transmitter uses a cartier of 9.013MHz for USB and Q.010MH2 for LSB. The carrier and the voice signal are sent to a balanced modulator where the DSB suppressed carrier signal is generated. The unwanted sideband is removed by a crystal filter, and an SSB signal of 9.0115MHz is obtained. This SSB signal is mixed with the local oscillator output from the PLL circuit, which is the same as that of the receiver section, and then amplified, filtered, and sent to the antenna, 6-1 RECEIVER 6-1-1 RF AMPLIFIER AND MIXER CIRCUIT AA signal from the antenna is passed through the ALC and filter units and applied to the antenna switching circuit Tocated on unit “B’. During reception, Q17, the antenna switching transistor, is ON, thus forward biasing D25 and 26. The incomming signal passes through these diodes, through the external receive antenna jumper, and is fed to the attenuator circuit. If the attenuator switch on the front panel is in the ON position, the signal passes through the attenuator and is attenuated 10dB. The signal is then fed to the RF unit through J3._If the attenuator switch is in the OFF position, the signal is fed directly to J3. 022 through D33 are switching diades for the input and output signals through their respective RF circuits depending on the band selected. 15 through 020 are dual gate MOS FET amplifiers. The incomming signal is fed to the firstgate, and AGC voltage is fed to the second gate to increase ‘the dynamic range of the amplifier. The signal is then passed through a Schottky Diode double balanced mixer composed of D1 through D14 where it is mixed with the local oscillator signal from the VCO. From the mixer, the resultant 9.0115MHz signal passes through a monolythic, filter, having a bandwidth of 10KHz, and to the first gate of amplifier, 03. AGC voltage from pin 6 of J7 is fed to the second gate of Q3 as itis to the gates of Q15 through 220. 6-1-2 NOISE BLANKER CIRCUIT (9.011521.2KHz), when mixed with the VXO center frequency (19.7615MHz) result in signals of 10.7512MH2 to 10.7488MHz (10.750MH2+1.2KH2), all signals. will pass through the filter. ‘The noise blanker circuit is composed of QB through Q12. Noise amplified by Q8-Q10 is detected by 020 and 021 ‘and applied to the base of 12. Since the collector of O12 is connected to the bias circuit of D1 and D2, when Q12 conducts because of detected noise, it shuts off D1 and D2, cutting off the noise, Therefore only clean signals are fed ‘through J1 to the IF circuit. 6-1-3 PASS BAND TUNING CIRCUIT A VXO circuit composed of 1, 02, X1 and D4 in the “A” unit. ‘The bias voltage of D4 is changed by turning the Pass, Band Tune control, located on the front panel, which varies the VXO frequency (19.7616MHz) by +1.5KHz, Signals from J1 in the RF unit are fed through J1 in the IF circuit to LS, then through FL, a erystal filter. FL1's ‘center frequency is 9.0115MHz with a band width of 4#1.2KHz. From the filter, the signal is fed to Q10, where it is amplified and fed to the balanced mixer, 1C3, where the 9.0115MHz signal is mixed with the 19.7615MHz VXO signal. From the balanced mixer, the resultant 10.750MHz signal is fed through FL2, a crystal filter having a center frequency of 10.750MHz and a band width of +1.2KHz. This 10.750MHz signal is then again mixed with the VXO_ frequency, to result in the original 9.0115MHz signal to be AA: PB:TUNE cameed © ouput signals .

When mixed with the incomming 9.0115MHz signals, the resultant frequencies become 10.7503MHz to 10.7527MHz. Since the upper frequency pass band limit, of the filter is 10.7512MHz, not all the signals will be passed by the filter. Only the signals between 10.7503MHz ‘and 10.7512MHz, the upper limit, will be passed. As you can see, the pass band has been narrowed to 900Hz to one side of the center frequency of the filter. Therefore, all signals outside the 10.7503MH2 to 10,7512MH2 range will ‘not pass through the filter. 8 : PLE-TUNE fully clockwise fed to the IF amplifier circuit. ‘The diagrams will explain the operation of the Pass Band @ Possband of @ Oust Sina of oupur ee Cowra Signa nals o oat Si Fut ‘4 raft I 1 y tron “2-10 taeds eo e ‘eqns (ke) (AB) a gis) eo Mie (ane Tuning in more detail 9.0115MHe 41.2KH 10.79MHe $1.2KH2 sors Te AMP Lf mixer Lf nee LI mixer mie aro 1e3 Fu rt se.7eismieAe | at -02 ‘iskHe In the diagrams, ““A’" represents the 10.750MHz signals that are the result of mixing of the 9.0115MHz input signals, with the 19.7615MHz VXO signal in IC3.

The dotted line represents the pass band of the second crystal filter By turing the pass band tuning control in the fully counter-clockwise position, the VXO frequency becomes 19,760MHz, The 10.750MHz signals from the mixer will be from 10.7497MHz to 10.7473MHz.

However, by turning the pass band tune control ‘until the VXO frequency reaches 19.7605MHz, the 9.0125, Mz interfering signal when mixed with the VXO frequency will have a resultant frequency of 10.7480MHz, which is ‘out of the pass band of the filter. The signal you are liste ing to, however, when mixed with the VXO frequency becomes 10.749MHz. This is within the pass band of the filter, and when mixed again with the VXO frequency in the next stage, becomes it’s original 9.0115MHz signal and Js sent to the IF amplifier. You have pushed the interfering signal out of the pass band of the filter, and therefore climinated it and the interference it caused. In the CW mode (CW or CW:N position of the MODE switch), a fixed bias voltage is applied to D4 of the VXO_ circuit, so the VXO frequency shifts to 19.7634MHz (+1.9KH2), The bandwidth then becomes +250Hz for clear CW reception. The signal which has passed through the pass band tuning circuits are amplified by Q11 and Q12, dual gate MOS FET's. AGC voltage is applied to the second gate of both. ‘The amplified IF signal is then sent to the detector circuit. 6-1-4 DETECTOR CIRCUIT The detector circuit is composed of 1C2, a differential amplifier that consists of pair of similar input circuits and a constant-current source. The IF signals are fed to the both input circuits of 1C2 180 degrees out of phase, and the BFO signal is fed to the constant-current source. The detected audio signal is sent to the CW AF filter circuit ‘and the AF amplifier circuits through the MODE switch, 6-1-5 BFO CIRCUIT The BFO circuit is composed of O18 to 020 and erystals X1 and X2, all located on the “B” unit. 191s the crystal oscillator, Q18 is the buffer, and Q20 is the FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) keyer for RTTY. The crystals are switched by D12 and D13, and the oscillation frequencies are shifted by D14 to D18, according to the mode used. Crystal X1 (9.013MHz) is used for USB transmitting and receiving, CW receiving, and RTTY receiv- ing. Crystal X2 (9.010MH2) is used for LSB transmitting ‘and receiving, CW transmitting, and RTTY transmitting, In the RTTY transmitting mode, the bias voltage to D19 (a varicap) is changed according to the MARK and SPACE RTTY signals, by 020. $3 (RTTY shift switch) changes the shift width for Narrow (170H2) shift, and Wide (850Hz) shite BFO FREQUENCY CHART | co Seti \ $i Sas MODE FREQUENCY receive | iss | 9.010 MHz uss | 9.013 MHz cw =| 9.0132 MHz RTTY_| 9.014525MHz TRANSMIT | LSB | 8.010 MHz use | 9.013 wiz cw =| 9.0124 wiz RTTY | 9.0124 MHz (SPACE) 9.01223 MHz (170MARK) 9.01155 MHz (BSOMARK) 6-1-6 CW AF FILTER CIRCUIT ‘After detection, the audio signal is applied to IC6. Next, ‘the signal is fed to a CW AF filter composed of high and low pass filters. The filters have a pass band of about 8O0Hz +100Hz. If the mode switch on the front panel is turned to CW-N, the signal passes through this band pass filter and goes to the audio amplifying section in the next stage. During other modes, the detected output is directly applied to the audio amplifier circuit. 6-1-7 AUDIO AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT ‘The audio amplifier circuit is composed of 044 to O46. ‘The amplified signal passes through an AF gain control on the front panel, and then goes into Q27, an audio low pass filter, where signal components above 3KHz are removed. After that, the signal is amplified in the audio power amplifier circuit, 1C1, which then drives the speaker. 6-1-8 AGC CIRCUIT The AGC circuit is composed of 028 to 036 on the “A” Unit. After detection, for CW-N after passing through the CW AF filter, the AF signal is amplified by 028. It then undergoes pesk hold detection by detector 032. The detected DC voltage charges C101 and C102. The DC voltage is then amplified further by Q33 and 034. Thus, the AGC voltage for RF and IF amplifier circuits is ae‘obtained from the collector of 034. When the AGC switch is in the SLOW position, the output signal of 028 is fed to another peak hold detector, 029. The detected DC voltage charges C99 and switches 030 ON and 031 OFF. When the input signal is removed, the ‘charged voltage of C99 is discharged through R189 and 031 is switched ON, and the charged voltage in C101 and C102 is discharged through R164 and O31. Thus the AGC. voltage is held during the time constant of C99 and R159. When the AGC switch is in the FAST position, ~9 Volts is, applied to the base of Q30, turning it OFF, and turning 031 ON. Therefore the AGC voltage does not hold, and, the AGC release time is determined by C101 and R192. ‘The AGC attack time varies with the mode of operation, so, when the mode is changed, so are the determining fixed resisitors. C101 and C102 are the capacitors that are in the circuit for all modes, and determine the time constant along with the following resistors: For USB and LSB, R166 and R192 (in paralell), both of which are located on the “A unit. For CW and RTTY, R192 and R48, which are located ‘on the mode switch (in series); As the time constant circuit, may be charged during transmit, O35 is designed to be ON. during transmit time, through 033, and shunts C101 and, C102. When the power is turned ON, a pulse through R173 and C103 turns ON 35 temporarily to discharge C101 and, C102 in order to allow the AGC voltage to recover to a non-signal bias state, 036 superimposes the RF Gain control voltage on the AGC. line by way of the emitter follower, forming a threshold- type RF gain control. As the RF AGC circuit operates as the ALC circuit during transmit, 036 is biased through D31 to remove interference troubles. INPUT SIONAL of 164 Ab = Mi = urPUT SIGNAL of 1G 6-2 TRANSMITTER 6-2-1 MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT Voice signals from the microphone are passed through the MIC Gain control on the front panel and applied to Q17, the ALC attenuator, located on A’ ‘The ALC voltage is applied to the gate of Q17, which changes the source-to-drain impedance, Accordingly, the ALC controls the voice signal passing through Q17. The signal is then fed ‘to amplifiers Q15 and Q16 and then sent to the balanced modulator. 6-2-2 BALANCED MODULATOR CIRCUIT IC5 is a balanced modulator where the BFO signal, fed through Pin 10, and the voice signal, fed through Pin 4, result in a double side band signal output from Pins 6 and 12, When the mode switch is in the CW, CW-N or RTTY mode, power for the MIC AMP circuit is turned OFF and therefore, the voice signal is not applied to IC5. Instead, 2 voltage from D23 is applied to Pin 4, ICS loses balance, and the BFO signal becomes the output, This signal is used for the carrier in CW and RTTY operation. During RTTY ‘operation, the frequency is shifted according to the keying in the BFO. During CW operation, a key is connected to the base of O14. The key turns Q14 ON and OFF at the keying rate, therefore, turning OFF D22 and the carrier, ‘ON and OFF at the keying rate, When the speech processor circuit is not used, the output signal of IC5 (DSB signal) is fed to the crystal filter FL1 through D21, D22 and D34. FL cuts the unwanted side band of the DSB signal and the output is a Single Side Band signal. (CW and RTTY signals pass through FL1 at tunchanged wave forms). From the filter, the signal is sent to the RF unit through P1.

While transmitting with the processor ON, @ DSB. signal output in the balanced modulator is passed through 22 and D13, and applied to 1C3, where itis mixed with the VXO output frequency of 19.7618MHz. It passes, ‘through the crystal filter FL2 and becomes an SSB signal of 10.750MHz. This signal is mixed with the VXO output, at ICA again to become an SSB signal of 9.0115MHz, amplified by Q11, and passed to IC1. Q11 as well as Q12 ‘and 19 are in the compressor level detection circuit, and, the output for the compressor level indicator is obtained. from the source of O11. IC1 is the limiting circuit, and it clips signals above a fixed level, as shown in the figure on. page 23, 4 is the drive level control circuit. By turning the COMP (compressor) control, the bias voltage is changed and gain is controlled. Some splatter is included in the signal which has passed through the limiter circuit, but this is completely removed by the crystal filter FL1, and the final signal is a clean and powerful SSB signal. In the CW and RTTY modes, the speech processor circuit works the same as in the SSB mode, and the output power, is adjustable from 0 to about 100 Watts by turning the COMP control knob. 6-2-4 TRANSMIT MIXER CIRCUIT ‘The output from P1 of the “A” unit is passed to J1 on the RF unit, and after passing through the T/R switching diode, 4, it is applied to Q1, the attenuator of the drive level ‘control for each band. Each band has its own drive level, control in the RF amplifier circuit. In order to conpensate for this, the voltage fixed at R92 to R97 is applied to the gate of Q1, and proper drive for each band is obtained. ‘The output is mixed with the VCO output frequency in the Schottky diode double balanced mixer circuit composed of D5 to DB, and the output becomes the final transmitting frequency. The mixed output is fed to RF amplifier ‘through the T/R relay RL. 6-2-5 RF AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT ‘The mixed output is applied to the RF amplifier circuit, (the same one as is used in the receiver section) composed of O16 to 020 which are set for each band. L20 to L25 and L26 to L31 are multiple coupled resonant coils which are staggered to obtain a flat wide band pass. The output, is fed through T/R switch diode D41, and is amplified by 09, the predrive circuit in the next stage, to a level of ‘about 0 milliwatts. This is then fed to J6. 6-2-6 TRANSVERTER OUTPUT CIRCUIT When a transverter is used for VHF or UHF operation, ‘connect the input/output cable from the transverter to J4,, X-verter Jack on the rear panel. Also apply #8 Volts DC to pin 11 of J1 (ACC socket) on the rear panel. ~24—In the receiving mode using the transverter, +9 Volts DC 's applied through a 470 ohm resistor to J4, superimposed. fon the incomming signal from the transverter. Then O18, 19, and D40 are turned ON, and D28 to D33 of the RF ier circuit for each band are turned OFF by +9 Volts. DC from J4, and 041 is turned OFF by #8 Volts DC from in 11 of J1. Thus the incomming signal from the tran- swverter is fed to the mixer circuit composed of D11 to D14, through J4, D18, D19, and 040. In the transmitting mode, J4 is grounded for DC, then D16, D17 and one of D28 to D33 are turned ON and D40 is tured ON and D41 and Q2 are tumed OFF by +8 Volts from Pin 11 of J1. Thus T/R relay RL1 turns to the transmit side so the mixed SSB signal from the transmit, ixer circult Is fed to the RF amplifier circuit, and the amplified signal is sent to J4 through D16 and D17. ‘The output level is about 200mV across a 60 ohm load. 6-2-7 EXCITER CIRCUIT The output from the RF unit J6 is applied to Q1 on the “B" unit and amplified class A to about 500mV. L3 and RG are negative feedback circuits for obtaining the wide band characteristics from 1.8 to 30MHz. This signal is amplified class B push pull to about 7 Watts by 02 and 03. ‘The junction voltage of D2 and D3 is amplified by Q9 and applied to the bases of Q2 and Q3, from the emitter of Q9,, for the bias voltage. D2 and D3 are connected to the cases of Q2 and O3 respectively, and compensate the bias voltage by the temperature of 2 and Q3. L8, L9, R10, and R11 are negative feedback components for obtaining a wide fre- ‘quency range. 6-2-8 FINAL POWER AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT The 7 Watt signal from the exciter stage is amplified class B push-pull in the final amplifier stage transistors, Q1 and 2 of the PA unit to a level of about 100 Watts. Bias voltage is treated by D1, D2 and Q3, the same as D2, D3 and Q9 of the “B” unit, and fed to the bases of Q1 and 02. L4, R7, to R10, C3, C4 and CB are negative feedback circuits. 6-2-9 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT ‘The Antenna switching circuit is composed of 024 to D26, Q4 and QS located on the "8" unit. O4 is ON when the. voltage for transmit (+9V) is applied to it’s base through R14 during transmit. Accordingly, 5 is turned ON, which ‘turns on D24 which passes the RF. Q17 is OFF since it’s emitter voltage is 0, and D25 and D26 are cut OFF. The signal from the PA unit is conducted to the filter section ‘through D24. In this case, the high frequency voltage is rectified by D25 and D26 and this voltage, about 80V, fed to the cathode of D25, This reverse biases D25 and, 26 and turns them OFF, so output signals do not feed into the receive section. In the receive mode, the base of Q4 goes to OV, so O4 and Q5 are tuned OFF, and -9V is applied to D24 through R19 and R108, thus D24 is turned OFF completely. Also 49 is applied to D25 and 026, through Q17 and R70, so. D2 and D26 are turned ON, thus incoming signals are {fed to the receiving section, 62-10 LOW PASS FILTER CIRCUIT ‘The PA output, which has passed through the antenna switching circuit, is fed through the low pass filter of the filter unit, which serves to attenuate harmonics by about 40dB in order to get a clean transmit output. The low pass filter is set for each band, and is switched by the rotary relay switch. The relay switch is driven by Q1 to Q8. The voltage set in the band switching circuit on the front panel is applied to one of Q1’s bases through RB, while the voltage set according to the contact of the rotary relay is applied to the other bate through F'12. If there isa potential difference between both bases of Q1, Q2 and 03 amplify the DC current, and Q4 applies the bias voltage to 05's base. As ¢ result, the multivibrator composed of O5 and Q6-operate and the rotary relay is driven by Q7 and 08. ‘The relay continues to operate until the voltage of both bbases of Q1 are the same. At that time, Q1's collectors are equal, Q2, 03, and Q4 are all OFF. Therefore Q7 and 8 are OFF and the relay stops. 6211 ALC CIRCUIT 3 of the ALC circuit is an SWR pick up coil, and D3 and D4 are the detection diodes. The voltage of a traveling wave is detected by D3 as a negative DC voltage, and a reflected wave is detected as a negative DC voltage by D4. ‘They pass through the SWR switch (forward-reverse switch- ing) and operate the meter on the front panel. D1 is the ALC detection diode. ‘The bias voltage determined by R24 in the “B” unit is applied to the cathode of D1 through R2 in the ALC suit. If RF voltage applied to the D1 anode is above this bias voltage, negative ALC voltage is detected by D1 and fed to the base of Q10 in the “B” unit, through L2 and R3. The ALC output voltage is DC amplified By Q10, Q11, 012, and O13 in the “8” unit and then applied to the ga of Q17 in the “A” unit and controls the driving power to the PA stage. If the antenna connected to the transmitter Js inferior in SWR, the detected voltage of the reflected wave is applied to the ALC output circuit Q10 in the “B’" unit through D2 and R1, Therefore, the ALC output negative voltage becomes extremely high and so the driving power to the final PA stage becomes low and protects the PA transistors. -25-6-3 PLL (Phase Locked Loop) UNIT 6-3-1 LOCAL OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT 1-06 are local oscillator circuits for the conversion type PLL. Each circuit, 1-06 is functional for each band respectively; for example, Q1 is for the 1.8MHz band and Q6 is for the 28MHz band. Each oscillator circuit is basically the same, being a doubler with 3rd overtone crystals XTAL ‘OUTPUT, BAND | FREQUENCY | FREQUENCY MHz | 27.125MHz | _64.26MHz 3.5MHz | 28.125MHz '56.25MHz_ 7_MHz_| _ 30.125MHz (60.25MHz 14 MHz | 33.625MHz 67.25MHz 21 MHz | 37.125MHz 74.25MH2, 28 MHz | 40.625MHz 81.25MHz For example, X1 of the 1.8MHz oscillator is a 3rd overtone crystal (27.125MHz) and has L2 in series, which is for the X1 oscillating frequency adjustment. The output tuning circuit connected to the Q1 collector is tuned for 64.25 MHz, which is double the frequency of the fundamental crystal oscillator frequency. The operation of 02-06 is exactly the same as that of Q1, except the output fre: quencies are different. 6-3-2 VXO (Variable Frequency Crystal Oscillator) CIRCUIT This circuit is for the oscillation, by 100Hz steps, of the lowest two digits (0.0 - 9.9KHz) of the VCO output fr ‘quency of the PLL circuit. The VXO circuit consists of Q7, 08, D9, X7, L18, etc. 8 oscillates on the 15MH2 range using X7, D9, D10, and L18, and the oscillating frequency is altered in 100Hz steps by the voltage supplied from the D/A (Digital to Analog) converter. 7 triples the output signal from Q8 and supplies about 45MHz signal to the mixer circuit of IC7. 6-3-3 MIXER AND AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT The local oscillator output and VCO output are mixed by IC6 and the mixed signal is taken from Pins 3 and 13 of ICG. The output signal is filtered by L13 and L14, tuned for 42-44Hz, to supply the signal to IC7. The output signal of the VXO circuit is also supplied to IC7 to be mixed with the signal from C6. The difference of these two signals, (1MHz - 3MHz) is filtered by a low-pass filter and is amplified by IC8 up to the level of more than 1.6Vp-p. 6-3-4 PLL LSI CIRCUIT The output from ICB is the input to the LSI, Pin 2. The LSI contains PLL and control circuits. To drive the reference frequency of the PLL, a SMHz crystal oscillator is connected to Pins 3 and 4. This frequency is divided into 1/500 by the fixed frequency divider in the LSI and becomes the accurate frequency of 10KHz. The input from Pin 2 is divided by the Programmable divider in the LS! from 1/100-1/299 which is decided by the controller, fed into the phase frequency detector with the reference frequency of 10KHz, The output is taken from Pin 40 in the form of a pulse from the phase detector according to ‘these two input's difference of phase. The controller circuit consists of two sets of a 4-1/2 digit BCD up-down Ls! 8L0cK DIAGRAM BABGBARGBARGEMICAA, i ry uty stat ater iE ReRKEERE ‘Programmable Divider t—< }—m room con w i t | i i Lye; 7%) Lykaa * te n len ermoWN comer A fer we 00m coon 8 omer to XYZ Gib HR MUR LY 20 RB HMMA, cana coms | _P cane ¢ com owe " oe fee fee Frese ele L }__y tion i wold, FARK, gucounter for the A and B VFOs, the digit selector to control the up-down counters by a paralell data, A/B counter, selector, ete ‘The CLOCK (CK) and UP/DOWN (UD) signals, which is the output from the tuning knob/chopper circuit, are fed to Pins 12 and 19 respectively. The clock signal is in proportion to the rotation of the tuning knob, and the up/down signal is dependant on the direction of rotation ff the tuning knob. When the UD signal is HIGH, the up/down counter increases the frequency in proportion to the number of CK pulses, and when the UD is LOW, the frequency is decreased in the same way. The signal which is determined by the A’ or “B” position of the VFO switch on the front panel, becomes the SL signal. This is, fed to Pin 14 and selects either “A” or “B” sot of, up/down counters, If you push the Tuning Speed button on the front panel, the signal is locked in the driver unit and fed to Pin 17 as the Y signal. In this case the Kilohertz and Hundred Hertz digits are cleared to 0, the CK signal is fed to the 10KHz digit counter, which results in high speed tuning. ‘The FCL KO-K8 pins of IC1 are connected to the ACC. socket on the rear panel through the driver unit. When a high level signal is supplied to FCL Pin 11 and KO-K2 at the same time, the 10MHz digit figure can be reset, according to the input data at KO-K2. Then when the high level sign is supplied from KO-K8, any figure can be set according to ‘the data from the higher digit to the lower. For use with an EXT controller, resetting of the frequency can be accomplished in the seme manner through the ACC. socket. When the Band Select switch is at the 7-28MHz position, ‘no signal to these pins is required; however, at the 1.8MH2. (oF 3.5MHz position, since a figure of 8 or 5 is necessary on the TOOKHz digit for the bottom of each band, when switching bands or turning the power ON, a signal is supplied to these terminals. Therefore, when the Band, Select switch on the front panel is at the 1.8MHz or 3.5MHz position, the high level signal is supplied to KB to set 8 on the 100KHz digit or K4 and K1 to set 6 on the TOOKHz, digit respectively at the bottom of each band after the FCL input. By the input of CK and UD signals, or by resetting the up/down counter, the output signals appear at AO-B4 and, ‘are supplied to the driver unit. The output signals of A2-A4 are supplied to the PLL programmable divider for determination of the divider ratio in accordance with the up/down. 6-3-4 LOOP FILTER CIRCUIT ‘The phase-detected signal from Pin 40 of ICI is fed to the loop filter circuit of IC3. This circuit changes the output Of the phase detector, which is a pulse, into a DC voltage, and also decides the response time of the whole loop. The ‘output is used as the voltage to control the VCO frequency. 6-3-5 VCO CIRCUIT Q11-016 of the VCO unit are FET modified Clapp oscillators, used separately for each band. Q11 is for the 1.8MHz band and Q16 is for the 28MHz band. To obtain the desired frequency, the D/A converter tracks the variation of the voltage supplied to the tuning diodes D1, D14, D17, 020, 023 or D26. Also, the output signal from the loop filter is supplied to the tuning diodes D12, D1, 18, D21, 24, or D27 to lock the VCO frequency. ‘The oscillation frequency of the VCO is equal to the displayed frequency plus about 9MHz. This output is, supplied from P1 to the mixer circuit of the RF unit after the buffer amplifier Q1 and G2. Also, the VCO output is supplied to the PLL mixer through the buffer amplifier of (04. 05.210 and D4.D9 are to switch the DC power source 10 011-016 according to the operating band. 6-3-6 D/A (DIGITAL TO ANALOG) CONVERTER CIRCUIT ‘The PLL unit has two D/A converters. R89-RO4 are connected to A284 of IC1 and act as a D/A converter for ‘the higher digits. The output signal is amplified by half of 1€2 for VCO tracking. The other D/A converter is for the VXO circuit, The signals, from A0-D1 of ICI are buffered by IC4 and IC5 and supplied to R101-R109 for D/A conversion, The converted, signal is fed to the other half of 1C2 for off-set voltage setting and amplification to control the frequency of the \VXO circuit. This D/A converted voltage changes in steps, to give 100Hz step variation to the VXO frequency. Q14 and Q15 are employed to maintain linearity of the D/A Converter output for changes in mode. R68 and R70 adjust, the correction factor. 6-3-7 POWER CIRCUIT ‘The power circuit of the PLL consists of Q12, 013, and Ic9. Q13 is turned ON by C144 and applies voltage to 1C9. 1C9 is a voltage regulator whose output is 8.2 Volts. A part of this output is divided at R55 and RSG and is added to the base of Q12. The emitter of 012 is connected to the collector of Q13 through a Zener diode (6.1 Volt) and therefore the collector voltage is held at 10.6 Volts. As you can see, the output of the power circuit of the PLL has, outputs of 8.2 and 10.6 Volts regulated DC. Q10 and 11 are negative voltage regulators. One of 11's, bases is grounded and the other is connected to R53 and R54. RSS is connected to +8.2 Volts, and R54 to the collector of Q10. —9 Volts is added to the emitter of O10 and. its base is connected to the collector of Q11. Q11 works as a differential amplifier, so if there is a difference between the divided voltage at R53 and R54 and the Potential of the other base, which is ground, the difference is amplified until the voltage of Q10's collector is the same value as the positive output of IC9. Therefore, the output of ~B.2 Volts is achieved. -27-6-3-8 RIT ON/OFF CONTROL CIRCUIT 09 and Q17 make up the RIT ON/OFF control circul The voltage of the RIT IC terminal of J6 is fed to the emitter of Q17 through R51. The terminal is 0 Volts when the RIT is ON and 5 Volts when it is OFF. Q17 prevents the reverse flow from the base of Q9. The collector of 09 Is fed voltage from the RIT control and shunt to ground when the RIT is OFF. 6-4 DRIVER UNIT 6-4-1 FREQUENCY DISPLAY IC1-ICE are the 7 segment LED indicators for the frequency 10MHz - 1MHz DIGITS DISPLAY SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM ‘v sv ——— —— ve Je? ce hp ce ec gets rl TRANSISTOR ‘ARRAY. display. 1C3-IC6 are driven by 1€22-IC25. The input for the drivers is taken from the BCD output of IC1, A0-D3 in the PLL. ICt and 1C2 are driven by IC16 and IC17. The input of ‘each band is decoded by IC14 and IC15 and D21-D35 to indicate the MHz and 10MHz digits. 6-4-2 PHOTO-CHOPPER CIRCUIT D3 and D39 are infrared LED diodes and Q1 and Q2 are the photo transistors. 038 sends a continuous light source to Q1 and D39 sends it to Q2. Between the diodes and the transistors is a windowed chopper disk which is connected directly to the shaft of the tuning knob. The diodes and, Photo transistors are set up so that the phase difference of ‘90 degrees results when the disc revolves. The signal from 1 and Q2 is fed to C1 on the driver unit. Pin 3 of IC1 is ‘connected to the data input pin (Pin 5) of flip-flop IC3. The output from Pin 4 is divided, and fed to Pins 5 and 6 of 1C2, One is fed directly and the other is fed through a delay circuit. C2 is an exclusive OR gate IC, and both pulses of the positive edge and the negative edge are added to Pin 3 of IC3 and Q output is added to IC3's reset terminal through the delay circuit so IC3 operates as a monostable multivibrator. Q is fed to Pin 8 of IC2, the 1e17 IC14 is switched ON in 28MHz band.

IC3 is aD ‘ype fliplop, £0 it latches the signal of the delay circuit. C3 gives @ High (H) level signal when the tuning knob is ‘turned clockwise, and @ Low (L) level signal when the knob is turned counter-clockwise.

If they are the same, Pin 12 of CB. goes LOW, and if they are different, it goes HIGH. A fone'shot pulse from Pin 4 of IC4 is fed to Pin 13 of ICB, and as it is @ NAND gate IC, its output is taken from Pin 11 only when the memories are different. If @ one-shot pulse is generated, the pulse is added to Pin 11 and Pin 3 of the CK terminals of IC8 and IC7 when its pulse is terminated and the output of the band code is added to the D input, and this band is memorized. ‘The output of IC8, Pin 11, is connected with Pin 9. The Power On Clear (POC) pulse, which becomes a 100ms HIGH level pulse when the power source switch is turned (ON, and the SDP pulse which occurs when the band is, changed, are input to Pin 8. So it follows that Pin 10 of ICBis supplied with a HIGH level pulse in both cases, 6-4-4 BAND EDGE DETECTION CIRCUIT The output of IC8 Pin 10 is combined with IC7 Pin 6. This, works as a monostable multvibrator since this is added to Pin 4 of RESET from the Q output through the delay Circuit. Pin 1 of IC7 is fed to 108 Pin 5 and to [C10 Pin 8 of the RESET through the differentiation circuitry. Pin 1 of 2 gates of IC8 works as a multivibrator and gives off about seven pulses for one shot pulse from Pin 1 of IC7. IC10 works as a 2 bit shift register and at first Pin 13 goes HIGH, and Pin 1 goes LOW by the one-shot pulse from IC7. ‘Then the output of ICB is added to Pin 3 and Pin 11 of the CK terminals through the inverter IC4 and under the circumstances preset by the input of IC7, Pin 13 is HIGH, and Pin 1 is LOW. The output of Pin 13 is fed to Pin 1 of, IC12 and since this is an OR gate, it’s output, fed to IC1 in the PLL unit becomes the FCL signal. If the first pulse from the output of the inverter, IC4, goes to IC10, Pin 13,‘goes LOW and Pin 1 goes HIGH. When the band is 1.8MHz, Pin 13 of IC11 is HIGH and Pin 11 is connected with Pin 1 of IC10, soit is HIGH. ‘As Pin 12 is connected to the front of the inverter of the ‘oscillator circuits, the three input gates of IC11 are all HIGH in the next half cycle, and the output from Pin 10 goes LOW. IC13's output HIGH level pulse is fed to IC1 in the PLL as KB, therefore the 100KHz digit is set at &. When the band is 3.5MHz, itis input to K1 and K4 through the same process and the 100KHz digit is set to 5. As the 1OOKHz digit begins with O in upper bands from 7MHz, this operation is not necessary. When the band is 7MHz or re © 1aMys 3gMH2 Acc FOLKS Ks Ko Ke Ky a7 Pe LOW EDGE PRESET CIRCUIT TIMING CHART ‘above, the band data of 1.8MHz and 3.5MHz are LOW, so pin 6 and Pin 10 of IC11 are always HIGH and this circuit, does not work. ‘After the third pulse from IC8, itis used together with the low edge of the band and fed to ICI in the PLL as the KO input. 6-4-5 MATRIX CIRCUIT ‘The output AO-A4 of the LSI and the signal of each band make up the matrix circuit and this decides the edges of ‘each band. ‘The band edges are as follows: BAND [LOW EDGE| HIGH EDGE | FAST TUNING TaMHz | 1800.0 | 1,990.9 7,990.0 3eMHz | 3.5000 | 3,959.9 3.9900 ® 7 MHz [7.0000 | 7.4999 7490.0 14 Miz | 14.000.0_| 15.1989 15.190.0 21 MHz | 21.0000 | 21.499.9 21.490.0 ® 28 Miz | 28.000.0* | 29.999.9" 29,990.0" 7 In the 28MHz band the tuning does not stop when the ® band edge is reached. It automatically reverts to the lther band edge and continues tuning either up or down, 1C21, 1€20, and 1C18 of the driver unit detect the O in the 1OKHz, KHz, and 100Hz digits. Since they are AND gate Circuits, they detect when all three figures are O, and are used to control the low edge. IC19 detects 0 of the 1OOKH2z level, but it is necessary to distinguish the 1.8MHz =31-‘and 3.5MHz bands from other bands since the low edge digits are not 0. 100KH2 D42-D45 detect the lower two figures (9.9) and D40 and D41 detect (9) of the 10KHz level. It is necessary to distinguish these from others since the lower two figures are reset to 0 when the dial tuning speed button is pushed. Q8 Js the gate for this distinction. The MHz level and the 100, KHz level of the band edge are determined by the detection (of the (0) and (9), the figures which are chosen according to the band of the matrix unit and the matrix which composes the necessary data out of A0-B4 of the output from ICI in the PLL section “line”. Moreover, three kinds of AND gates with the UD signal are taken out and if they agree with each other, CKE output is achieved. If this controls ICA Pin 4 and becomes the band edge, the CK signal is stopped. 6-4-6 RIT CONTROL CIRCUIT Once the RIT switch is pushed down, Pin 12 and Pin 13 of IC27 become HIGH. Any chatter from the switch is absorbed by the delay circuit of R68 and C20. Also the ‘two gates of 1C27 are used as inverters and the square pulse is achieved by the Schmitt trigger circuit, The output from IC27 Pin 10 goes to 1C2B Pin 3 of the CK terminal. This IC works as a T type flip-flop so the level is reversed every time the RIT switch is pushed. The signal at Pin 1 of 1C2 (Q output) is fed to Q15 through R62 and turns ON this transistor. 16's collector is connected with D4, an LED, so when Q15 conducts, the LED is lit and indicates that the RIT circuit is ON. The LED also indicates the center of the RIT control. ‘Also Pin 1 of the IC28 is fed to Pin 6 of 1C27 as well and it functions with the send signal HIGH level during receiving, of Pin 5. The output of Pin 4 switches Q9, in the PLL circuit, and controls the RIT circuit. 6-4-7 DIAL LOCK CIRCUIT If the dial lock button is pushed, Pin 1 and Pin 2 of 1C27 go LOW. Any switch chatter is absorbed by R6 and C19. ‘The output of IC27 inverter is fed to Pin 11 (CK terminal) of 128. 1C28 also works as a T type flip-flop and output levels are repeated every time the input is applied. The Q output from Pin 13 turns Q4 ON, through R69, and shows that the dial lock button has been pushed, by lighting the dial lock indicator LED, D2. Also Pin 9 and Pin 12 of IC1, and Pin 2 of IC2 are connected to 04's collector and they 99 to LOW level, so the clock pulses from Q1 and Q2, the Photo transistors, are not fed to the LSI circuit, and the frequency is locked. 6-4-8 TUNING SPEED CIRCUIT If the tuning speed button is pushed, the input goes to Pin 3 of 1C29 through C16. R59 and C17 absorb any chattering. 1C29 is also a T type flip-flop. The Q output fof Pin 1 is combined with Q3, This makes the dial fast LED indicator, D1, light. Also, the signal from 1C29 Pin 2 (0) is sent to the LSI circuit and the ¥ terminal (Pin 17) of ICI in the PLL unit goes HIGH, and so fast tuning is achieved. 6-5 POWER UNIT 6-5-1 13.8 VOLT DC REGULATED POWER SUPPLY circu Voltage supplied to Pin 1 (ground) and Pin 2 (positive) of the power source connector J6 on the rear panel is fed to the reverse polarity protection circuit composed of diodes D9, D10, and Fuse FI. This voltage serves as a direct power source for the final amplifier stage of the 1C-701. Power for all other circuits is fed through the power switch located on the front panel. Voltage passing through the ower switch is fed to the PLL unit and distributed to the 19.8 Volt regulated power supply circuit. This supply is composed of transistors Q13 through Q15 in the PA unit, and will reduce voltage applied to the power source connector to 13.8 Volts when the voltage exceeds that. The output voltage of this circuit is fed to the "B” unit, AF power amplifier circuit, dimmer circuit, and at the same time, serves as an input power source for each 9 Volt regulated power circuit. 6-5-2 9 VOLT REGULATED POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT Regulated ~9 Volts is produced using the DC-DC converter, 1C2, in the “B” unit. The regulated power supply circui for +9 Volts is composed of 040, 042, 043, and 036 in ‘the A" unit. _D36 detects the difference between output, voltages and 042 and 043 amplify it. Then Q41 controls the voltage. The regulated 9 Volt supply for receive is taken from the emitter follower circuit of Q37 to the base of which the 9 Volt standard voltage of D36 is fed. In the transmit mode, the base of 037 is connected to ground by the PTT switch or 9 through D26 and the output voltage ceases. The 9 Volt supply for transmission is taken from the emitter of 039, and its base is supplied with the 9 Volt standard voltage through D30. In the receive mode, the base of 039 is connected to ground through O38 being ON and the output voltage ceases. 6-6 OTHER CIRCUITRY 6-6-1 THERMO-SENSOR CIRCUIT This circuit controls forced air cooling for the final stage of the transmitter when the temperature of the final transistors become excessively high. The temperature of the transistors is detected by the POSISTOR R13 to vary base bias of Q4. 4 and QS compose @ Schmitt trigger circuit whose output is amplified by Q6 and Q7 to turn ON and OFF the DC fan motor. Another Schmitt trigger cireuit, composed of Q8 and Q9 is provided to turn ON Q10 if, the final stage transistor temperature rises dangerously high. The voltage built up by D6 and R3B through O10 conducted varies the bias for the constant voltage circuit, jn the motor to run it at high speed. With this high speed, the fan gives more air flow through the heatsink which keeps the temperature of the final stage transistors lowenough to prevent damage. To indicate the dangerously, high temperature, all the luminous indicators on the front pane! begin blinking. This is done by the autodimmer Circuit composed of O14, and O15, The output of the free running multivibrator, Q11 and Q12, and driven by the voltage through Q10 is applied to the circuit. 6-6-2 AUTODIMMER CIRCUIT R20 in the driver unit is @ cadmuim sulfide (CAS) element ‘to detect brightness of the surrounding light. It’s output, is applied to the Schmitt trigger circuit composed of O14 and Q15 through the dimmer change over switch in the “B'” Unit. The output of this circuit is connected to Q16 which conducts when the surroundings are bright and a voltage of about 12.5 Volts is obtained from the emitter of Q16. This voltage turns ON lamps through D9. The output from the emitter of Q16 through RGB is fed to the Zener diode (037) in the “A” unit to obtain § Volts which is driven by Q1 to light each LED. When the surroundings are dark, Q16 turns OFF and the voltage for lamps on the front panel is fed from the 13.8 Volt line through R20 (47 ohms) ‘which drops the supply voltage for lamps to about 8.5 Volts. With Q16 in the “8” unit is OFF, a voltage of about 7 Volts is obtained from the Zener diode DB and fed to REE through D28. This voltage is reduced by half with R6E and R247 in the “A” unit and driven by Qt to light each LED with about 2 Volts 6-6-3 VOX AND CW BREAK-IN CIRCUIT The voice signals from the microphone are amplified by 18 through 020 and detected by Q21 to drive G22. 022 switches the power supply line ON and OFF corresponding to voice signals. C78, R120 (VOX DELAY control) and, R121 compose a circuit to determine the time constant to ‘the VOX circuit. The output of this circuit is amplified by Q7 and QB to drive Q9 to switch the transmit circuit ON and OFF. The anti-VOX circuit prevents erroneous ope: ration of the VOX circuit caused by sound from the speaker. Signals from the speaker are amplified by Q24, Q26, and 026 through R131 (ANTI VOX GAIN Control). These are then fed to Q23 to raise emitter voltage of 21 which reduces the sensitivity of the detector circuit. ‘The CW break-in circuit is composed of O5 and Q6 amplify: ing the sigrials from the key at Q5 and feeding it to Q8 for ‘switching the power supply voltage ON and OFF. This ‘ON-OFF voltage is fed to the circuit composed of C14, R32, (CW DELAY Control) and R33 having the specified time constant to control the transmit circuit by way of Q7, 8, and 09, 6-6-4 CW MONITORING CIRCUIT 7 in the “B" unit is a CR phase shifting oscillator whose frequency is set to about 900Hz. QB is a switching circuit to make and break a ground path for C45 s0 as to vary the gain of Q7 for switching the oscillation ON and OFF. The oscillating output passing through R32 (CW MONI volume control) is fed to the 8th Pin of the AF amplifier circuit IC1 to drive the speaker. AC POWER SUPPLY ‘This set is designed to operate on 13.8 Volts DC. However, a special AC power supply, the IC-701PS is available for AC operation. The IC-701PS provides 13.8 Volts at 20, ‘Amps. When connected to the IC-701 transceiver, the power supply ON-OFF operation is remotely controlled by ‘the power ON-OFF switch on the IC-701.

If the reading is slightly off, minor adjustment of L1 and LE on the RF unit may correct the discrepancy. {c} Increase the signal generator output to +9048 (+84dB loaded) and adjust R153 in the “A” unit to obtain 200 milli Volts on the AC millivoltmeter connected across the lead of R44 and ground. (a) meter adjustment begins with setting the signal generator output to 4dB and adjusting R22 to make the S meter read S1. Then increase the signal generator output to 84dB and adjust R16 to make the $ meter read S9+60dB. If this adjustment is required, readjustment of the speech processor is necessary. NOTE: DO NOT ADJUST LS, L6 or L9 as ripple will result. 7-3 TRANSMITTER ADJUSTMENT First, connect an RF wattmeter (impedance of 50 ohms) ‘to the antenna connector. 7-3-1 CARRIER SUPPRESSION ADJUSTMENT. Place the set in the transmit mode in USB or LSB, 14MHz band, the compressor OFF and the MIC GAIN fully counter-clockwise. Connect an RF voltmeter (set to a high voltage scale) across the lead of 024 in the “B” unit and ground. With an appropriate meter range to have suitable deflection for reading, adjust R89 in the “A” unit for 1024 Connect an AF voltmeter R89 Adjust for the carrier nul 7-3-2 GAIN ADJUST (FOR EACH BAND) Each amplifier stage, mixer stage, ete, has variations in gain at different frequencies. This requires individual adjust- ment of the ALC and Compressor levels at every band selection. This set provides a gain adjustment circuit for ‘each band and by presetting these circuits, easy operation can be expected. The following is the adjustment Procedure. {a} Place the set in transmit, RTTY, 1.8MHz and adjust the compressor knob to obtain 20 Watts indication fon the RF wattmeter. Turn R92 in the RF unit for maximum RF power and adjust the compressor knob ‘again for 20 Watts indication on the RF wattmeter (DON'T READJUST THE COMPRESSOR KNOBS HEREAFTER). (0) Set to receive, change bands to 3.6MHz and set again to Transmit. Adjust R93 in the RF unit for maximum, RF output. Turn R93 in the direction as indicated by the arrow to set the RF power to 20 Watts, (c) Similarly, adjust R94, R95, R96, and R97 for maximum RF output in the 7, 14, 21, and 28MHz respectively and turn each resistor in the direction as indicated by the arrow to set the RF output to 20 Watts.7-3-3 COMPRESSOR CIRCUIT ADJUSTMENT Place the set in the transmit mode in USB at 14MHz and turn the compressor and mic gain knobs fully clockwise. Then as shown in figure, connect the AF oscillator across Pin 1, the input, and pin 4, ground, of the mie connector and apply an input of 100mY, at 1000Hz. Turn R68 fully, in the direction as indicated by the arrow. (clockwise) — connec ‘AF oscillator 7-3-4 CARRIER POINT ADJUSTMENT Place the sot in transmit in USB at 14MHz and turn the compressor OFF with the mic gain knob turned fully clockwise. Connect the AF oscillator across Pin 1 (input) and Pin 4 (ground), of the mie connector. (a) Set the frequency of the AF oscillator to 270Hz and the output at 2 level that gives approximately 20 Watts output on the watt meter. (b) Then vary the AF oscillator frequency to 2700Hz and adjust C86 in the "B" unit to obtain 20 Watts on the meter. (6) Performing the adjustments shown in (b) will affect the adjustment done in (a). Repeat adjustments in (2) and (b) until no difference is present, (a) Place the meter switch to ALC and adjust R25 so ‘that the meter indicates 60% on the Po scale. (O) Adjust R68 in the “A” unit so that the meter Indicates 50% on the Po scale. (c) Place the meter switch to COMP and adjust R213 in the “A” unit so that the meter indicates its full scale. (4) Then turn the mic gain knob on the front panel fully counter-clockwise and adjust R40 so that the meter just begins to swing and set it in that position. (e) Performing the adjustment shown in (d) will affect the adjustments done in (c). Repeat adjustments in (c) and (d) until no difference is present. Ree ‘aserbed in (b) R25. Described in (a) R213 Described in (c) ® (d) Place the MODE switch to LSB and adjust C75 the same as the adjustments done in (a), (b) and (c) using 75. 7-3-5 SPEECH PROCESSOR ADJUSTMENT When the compressor is turned ON, the SSB signal passes through the crystal filters FL and FL2 in the “A” unit. Since the rated center frequencies of these filters differ from the actual center frequencies by a certain amount, deterioration of audio quality results due to narrowing of, the SSB band width. To eliminate this problem, the VXO frequency is shifted to cover the drift mentioned above in the following adjustments, Place the set in the transmit, mode in USB at 14MHz with the mic gain and compressor knobs turned fully clockwise and connect the AF oscillator ‘output across of the mic connector as before with the frequency set at 2600Hz. oS(2) With the MODE switch in USB, adjust the AF ” oscillator output level to obtain 20 Watts output on the Watt meter (e) Repeat the adjustments in (a) and (b) until the RF ‘output for USB and LSB are the same.
