ICOM IC-9700 All Mode, Direct Sampling Tri-Band Transceiver 144, 430/440 And 1200MHz

 

Built with the VHF/UHF weak signal operator in mind, the IC-9700 is an RF direct sampling receiver for 2m and 70cm. The IF receiver consists of a single, down conversion for 23cm that is between 311 – 371MHz. This design provides a quiet receiver due to Icom’s DSP technology. The robust PA provides 100W on 2m, 75W on 70cm, and 10W on 23cm.

 

Band Management

 

In addition to band specific memory channels, the IC-9700 allows band specific receiver and transmitter settings. For transmit, users can make adjustments to RF power, TX power Limit, Limit Power, and TX Delay by band. Basic receiver settings, like the Noise Blanker, Noise Reduction, and others can be tweaked by band with a dynamic Notch and Filter setup by band/mode.

  • All mode, tri-band transceiver covering 144, 430/440 as well as 1200MHz

  1. Best All Round VHF/UHF Rig! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 28th Apr 2021

    I can say without question that this is the best satellite rig I've ever owned. Now I need to get an antenna for 23cm as I've never operated on that before, nor have I ever used D-Star before. I guess this old dog will be learning some new tricks, Hi, Hi. I also will be returning to MTC for most all my transceiver needs as they are some of the best people to deal with! W1JMB saying 73

  2. Glad I got it 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 27th Apr 2021

    I thought the IC-9700 was too much money when it first came out but I did want an all mode base radio for VHF/UHF. I thought maybe one of the other companies would come out with a dual band that was cheaper. We know they didn't so I decided to go ahead and get a 9700. Wow, This thing can do so much. I am very impressed with the IC-9700. Glad I got it.

  3. Wow, Just Wow-IC-9700 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 8th Sep 2020

    I upgrade my IC-7000 to do weak signal work on 2 meters then start into 432. Wow. The difference in sensitivity on this radio is AMAZING. I could hear the fellow in San Angelo on the SWOT 2 meter net when his beam was pointing North. He never heard me even with 250 watts into a 13 element beam.
    So yeh, this thing can also do Winlink, FT-8, and stuff I have not even thought to try.

  4. IC-9700 Top Shelf VHF/UHF/SHF Transceiver 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 2nd Jul 2020

    The transceiver is a must have for the operator wanting world class all mode operations on 2m/70cm/23cm. Built in remote base server, satellite operations, and high power outputs make this a real contact maker for the serious operator. Both DStar DV and DD modes (including end point mode) as well as an input for 10 MHz reference for rock solid stability when properly configured.

    Can't say enough for Richard and his crew for quick shipping, friendly service, and being there!

  5. WHOA...Packed Radio 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 28th Apr 2020

    Well first, the Customer service of MTC is 5-stars! Second, the 9700 is an AMAZING radio! Packed full of all sorts of functions. For my needs, FM/SSB/CW its perfect, down the road I am sure I will be expanding operations!.

  6. Icom 9700 Transceiver A++++++++ 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 18th Feb 2020

    Totally impressed with the 9700 at this point. The scope is way more useful and sensitive than I expected at seeing very weak CW signals from propagation beacons. Also, I want to add that MTC was fabulous to deal with on this purchase. Thank You!

  7. IC-9700 Transceiver 5 Star Review
