DConvenient functions for transmit
Speech compressor (p. 6-5)

Push [COMP] (MF6) to turn the speech compres- sor ON and OFF.

Push and hold [COMP] (MF6) for 1 sec. to select the compression bandwidth from wide, middle and nar- row.

Transmit quality monitor (p. 6-4)

Push MONITOR to turn the monitor function ON and OFF.

Rotate [MONI GAIN] to adjust the monitor gain.

Monitor indicator (above MONITOR switch) lights when the monitor function is ON.

• VOX (voice operated transmit) (p. 6-2)

Push VOX to turn the VOX function ON and OFF.

• “ VOX ” appears when the VOX function is ON.

Audio tone control (p. 12-5)

Push [F-7•SET] then [F-1•LEVEL] to enter level set mode. Select an item with [F-1•Y]/[F-2•Z] then rotate the main dial to adjust the audio tone.

DAbout 5 MHz band operation (USA version only)

Operation on the 5 MHz band is allowed on 5 discrete frequencies and must adhere to the following:

IC-7700 TuningFCC Channel
Frequency*Center Frequency*

 

 

5.33050 MHz

5.33200 MHz

 

 

5.34650 MHz

5.34800 MHz

5.36650 MHz

5.36800 MHz

 

 

5.37150 MHz

5.37300 MHz

5.40350 MHz

5.40500 MHz

 

 

To assist you in operating the 5 MHz band within the rules specified by the FCC, transmission is illegal on any 5 MHz band frequency other than the five frequencies indicated in the table above.

USB mode

Maximum of 50 watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power)

2.8 kHz bandwidth

It’s your responsibility to set all controls so that transmission in this band meets the stringent conditions under which amateur operations may use these fre- quencies.

NOTE: We recommend that you store these fre- quencies, mode and filter settings into memory channels for easy recall.

*The FCC specifies center frequencies on the

5 MHz band. However, the IC-7700 displays carri-

er frequency. Therefore, tune the transceiver to

1.5 kHz below the specified FCC channel center frequency.
