I find the Pro a big improvement over its predecessor, the 7. The Pro receiver seems much quieter than that of the 7. DDS. LO implementation. The DSP IF filters have much steeper skirts than the. QRM than. analogue filters. George, W5. YRs IF Filter. Torrent Smith Micro Poser Pro 2014. Page dramatically illustrates this point. Also, read. Georges Notes on roofing filters below.

An overview of the Motorola Radio Service Software RSS, the Radio Interface Box RIB, their history, problems and some solutions. In radio communications, a radio receiver radio is an electronic device that receives radio waves and converts the information carried by them to a usable form. I just need to control 2 antennas a 3el SteppIR for 206m, and an AlphaDelta DXB 16030m. I have a Unified Microsystems BCD14 controller board but need an Icom. The SX28 is one of those receivers that just about every ham has a passionate opinion about. No other communications receiver, even those that are better. JVC Kenwood Co., Ltd.

The fact that all the DSP IF filters, including the Manual Notch. Auto Notch are inside the AGC loop sets the Pro and the late. Kachina 5. 05 apart from all other amateur HF transceivers on the market. The vertical sensitivity of the 7. Pro Spectrum Scope is significantly higher than that. A signal of less than 1 V is visible, whilst the 7. V. to produce a spike. The only alignment procedure for the IC 7. Pro spectrum scope is. The horizontal frequency display is in. The CAL control on the lower right. Incidentally, you can observe the. Scope. during Tx ON in the Scope Set menu. The transmit speech amplifier of the Pro has a little less gain than that of the 7. MIC GAIN setting when using a Heil microphone with a dynamic. HC 4 or HC 5. The new Heil HM i electret will fully drive the Pro with Mic Gain. The infinitely variable DSP IF filters have far better shape factors than classical. The tuneable IF notch filter is 7. B deep. And once you have got. The AGC voltage. is also derived from the DSP.

In May 2. 00. 2, I purchased an IC 7. Pro II at the Dayton Hamvention. Upon returning home, I installed the Pro II in my station and began evaluating it. One week later, I can report that the verdict is very favourable. I have been using the Pro II, and have. Pro. So far, I have noticed superior strong signal handling, DSP IF filtering. DSP noise reduction NR. The adjustable noise blanker NB threshold is also a big. NB level in the old Pro. I find that by increasing the. NB threshold from 5. I can almost completely eliminate. HV power line noise. The improvement in on the. IC 7. 56. Pro II is dramatic. My nearest ham. neighbour is 1 km down the street from me, and has a 3 element quad at a height.

By contrast, my neighbours transmissions overloaded the IC 7. Pro front end. so severely as to render the entire 2. The Manual Notch is at least as good as that of the Pro. The. Auto Notch is more effective in suppressing multiple tones, and the. DSP artifacts and munge. There was occasionally a. Pro. Note The. Auto Notch is not selectable in CW mode, as it would function to notch out the. CW signal that one is trying to receive. This applies to the IC 7. Pro and. IC 7. 56. Pro II. The Manual Notch can also be effective in removing the most disturbing. During a recent sked on 1. Matt KK5. DR, a band limited noise. Hz wide popped up on our frequency at about S9. Matts signal at that time was running. S6, and the interference obliterated it. By engaging MN and adjusting the Manual Notch control, I was able to pull Matts signal right. I defy any. analogue radio to emulate this. Using the Twin PBT with the 2. Hz CW filter selected, one can crank the CW. IF filter bandwidth down to 5. Hz as in the Pro. The CW Pitch control will not put the. CW signal out of the IF filter passband, even at 5. Hz bandwidth. December 2. Although my experience with my new Pro. PRO. has been greatly improved. I cannot recall ever having to use attenuation with. PRO although I normally used Preamp 1 most of the time. With the Pro. 2, I. Preamp or attenuator. The Pro. 2 front end is really that much. PRO. My experience with the original PRO dates back to. September 2. 00. 0. I can copy an S2 CW signal less than 1. Hz from an S93. 0 d. B signal using a. Hz filter setting. There is no evidence of desensing or cross modulation. I think that Icom has figured out how to make. Rohde Schwarz. I agree with comments  by other reviewers to the effect that a 2.

My experience with the strong local station at my QTH closely mirrors Adams. I can copy very weak signals almost within the same filter passband. S94. 0 d. B signal. When I tune out the main response to the strong signal. I can identify. This behavior is clearly superior to that of the PRO. I have a contest local station about a mile away who runs S96. B when he is on. Heard him on 4. CW the other evening and found that with no attenuation or other measures. I could copy weak signals within a few hundred Hz of his frequency. With the original PRO. Last night January 9, 2. I had an S96. 0 d. B AM signal on 7. I could copy an S3 SSB signal about 2 KHz away. I was getting a lot. AM signal, but it was not sufficient to desense or. SSB copy. This is the best test I have had of the Pro. November 2. 00. 3 It seems to me that Icom thoroughly assessed a wide range of operating environments.
