D Connecting a non-Icom linear amplier
See the illustration below to connect a non-Icom linear amplier.
L We recommend that you use a linear amplier with a specied input power of 100 watts or more. If you use an
amplier with a specied drive level of less than 100 watts, adjust the IC-7300’s output power to the specied
level before transmitting. Otherwise the linear amplier may be damaged.

R WARNING!
• The maximum signal level of the [SEND] jack is 16 V/0.5 A DC. Use an external unit if your non-Icom linear amplier requires
a control voltage and/or current greater than specied.
• The ALC input level must be in the range 0 to –4 V. The transceiver does not accept a positive voltage. Non-matched ALC
and RF power settings could overheat or damage the linear amplier.
• When using a linear amplier such as the IC-PW1 or IC-PW1EURO, set the RF POWER in the Multi-function menu to keep
the ALC meter in the red zone.
LSee page 3-10 for details on the RF POWER
LSee page 3-11 for details on the ALC zone.
