Linear amplier connections
D Connecting the IC-PW1/IC-PW1EURO
See the illustration below to connect the optional IC-PW1 or IC-PW1EURO hf/50 mhz all band 1 kw linear amplifier.
Refer to the amplier’s instruction manual for operation.
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-7610’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, and 250 V/200 mA with the “MOSFET” setting (p. 13-2).
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.

R WARNING! 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.
