FEATURES
• 144 ~ 5600 MHz/10 GHz* coverage
The IC-905 has 144 ~ 5600 MHz/10 GHz* coverage
with all modes.
* Optional CX-10G transverter is required.
• The separate conguration
The IC-905 consists of the controller and the RF
unit that is mounted directly under the antenna.
• RF Direct Sampling System
The IC-905 employs an RF direct sampling system.
RF signals are directly converted to digital data in
the ADC, and then processed in the FPGA. This
system is a leading technology, marking an epoch
in amateur radio.
L 1200 MHz and higher bands use a down conversion IF
sampling.
• Real-Time Spectrum Scope
The spectrum scope is class-leading in resolution,
sweep speed, and dynamic range. When you
touch the scope screen on the intended signal, the
touched area is magnied. The large 4.3 inch color
TFT touch LCD o󰀨ers intuitive operation.
• D-STAR operation (DV/DD Mode)
The IC-905 has the D-STAR Repeater (DR)
function.
• A 4.3 inch touch panel color display
• Multi-function control for easy settings
• ATV (Amateur TV) in the analog FM mode
L You cannot transmit to or receive from the conventional
transceivers (IC-1271A/IC-1271E/IC-1275A/IC-1275E)
in the ATV mode. Only ATV in the analog AM mode is
compatible with them.
