IC-9100 at last Ham Radio, 2010….. The projected release is araund October

12/07/2010

At Friedrichshafen, last Ham radio 28 June, 2010, Icom Europe said that the IC-9100 would be released around September / October — The projected release is around October 2010!
Watch the photo inside the IC-9100 (click below for larger images) !!→ Updating: Andrews Comm  Now it is * Due Sept/Oct? (see the link below)

The IC-9100 covers 100W on HF, 50MHz and 144MHz, 75W on 430/440MHz and 10W on 1200MHz (option). The radio simultaneously receives two different bands (1. HF/50MHz + VHF/UHF – 2. VHF + UHF – 3. 430/440MHz + 1200MHz) and works as if there are two independent receivers in one radio. (Source by © 2010 Icom Inc)

Two 32-bit DSP and double conversion superheterodyne Each main and sub-receiver has a dedicated DSP unit The D-STAR mode (option) is available in 28MHz and 50MHz  bands simplex mode as well as in VHF and UHF bands USB connector for PC control Modulator, received audio,  RTTY demodulator, DV mode data can also be transferred over the USB cable  GPS position reporting functions Satellite mode operation or even moonbounce Optional CS-9100 programming Software The built-in RTTY demodulator and decoder Optional 1st IF filters for HF/50MHz bands Optional D-STAR DV mode UT-121 Unit And more Features: Download the  new Brochure released from Icom Inc.

!! Andrews Communications Systems in NSW AU has again changed their web site on the radio IC-9100. Now it is * Due Sept/Oct? Link to Andrews web → (updated 25.07.2010)

Andrews Communications Systems in New South Wales AU –  has updated their web site, saying they will have the radio * Due Sept/Oct? – Expected price AU$4000.00 (with or…. with none of the “options”!? D-Star, Roofing Filters 3/6 kHz and 1.2G module extra?)  – List Price calculated in USD = 3600.00? (AUD/USD: 0,9010 of 05.13.2010) Andrews Comm. we’ll have the best price, of course!

A Friedrichshafen, nella fiera Ham Radio di fine Giugno 2010 scorso, Icom Europa ha detto che l’IC-9100 verrà commercializzato verso settembre/ottobre! – In effetti si dice che  dovrebbe essere più in Ottobre. – La Andrews Communications Australia ha ancora aggiornato il suo sito web, sulla pagina del IC-9100  scrive: L’arrivo ora è previsto * per Settembre/Ottobre? 2010! (25.07.2010) – Il prezzo di listino rimane sempre AU$4000.00 con previsti sconti – Link al sito Andrews Comm

Il Prezzo atteso rimane A$ 4.000,00 AUD – (Non è indicato se il prezzo comprende le opzioni: Modulo D-Star, Filtri stretti 3/6kHz e il modulo 1.2GHz che eventualmente sarerebbero extra?) – Arrivo previsto ora a Settembre. – Il prezzo in Euro al Cambio di 0,7155 (del 13.5.2010) sarebbe = a  €2.860,00 di Listino  (prezzo indicativo!)

Presto speriamo di leggere  le notizie sul IC9100 e il suo prezzo anche su Marcucci SpA!

I dati sul doppio ricevitore, doppio DSP e tutte le  funzioni operative si trovano sulla nuova Brochure Icom del 14.05.10 – Scaricabile dal Link più sopra

The latest Firmware Updates Ver.2.21 IC-7800, 1.12 IC-7700 and 1.02 IC-7600, of 2010/04/01

08/04/2010

Firmware Updates IC-7800 / IC-7700 / IC-7600 – Nuovi aggiornamenti  dei Firmware di Icom Inc. – Other news: Icom have released a new Ver. IC-7600  User Manual En 1EX-3 - of 01 Feb, 2010
—- © www.radiocronache.com – Source data: Website Icom Inc. Osaka, Japan

The DSP IF filter shape factor (-6/-60 dB). This is the ratio of the -60 dB bandwidth to the -6 dB bandwidth, which is a figure of merit for the filter’s adjacent-channel’s rejection. The lower the shape factor, the “tighter” the filter. – The two type of DSP filter shape factor for each SSB, SSB-Data and CW can be selected independently from soft and sharp.
A sharp profile with a flat passband and soft profile with a more rounded passband (Twin Passband Tuning [TWIN-PBT] is also easily provided, which enables the filter sides to be both indipendently moved and narrowed, the DSP also provides audio filtering and shaping functions). Depending on  the operating situation, for example handling a pile-up or receiving a very weak signal, you can flexibly change sharp and soft filter shapes or reduce or shift the filter width, even while receiving a signal, by a simple push of a front panel key. See the latest Ver. for each model and Link below..

englishThe all-round transceiver IC-9100: HF/50 MHz (100W) 144/430 MHz (50W) 1200 MHz (10W) with optional 1.2 GHz UX-9100 module. Optional D-STAR Unit, DV mode operation on the esport version.

* HF/50MHz, 144/430 (440)MHz  &1200MHz coverage (UX-9100 Optional)
* 100W     on HF/50/144MHz
* 75W     on 430 (440)MHz
* 10W     on 1200MHz >(UX-9100 Unit Optional)
* Roofing     15kHz (FL.431 3kHz/ FL-430 6kHz 1st IF Optional for HF/50MHz)
* D-STAR DV (D-STAR Unit optional in combination with operating bands and mode)
* Satellite mode operation
* SSB, CW, RTTY, AM, FM & DV (D-STAR optional)
* 32-bit floating point DSP & 24-bit AD/DA converter
* Double superheterodyne with 2nd IF image rejection mixer
* This device requires 13.8 VDC

Icom introduces a direct competitor to the Kenwood TS-2000 TS-2000x!…. The IC-9100 has only one main DSP unit. In the 9100′s price class, it would not be cost-effective to include a second DSP board (ADC, DSP, DAC, support IC’s) for dual receive. No VHF and UHF at the same time.

IC-7700 New Firmware Version 1.10, provide interesting additional functions to this radio

20/06/2009

IC-7700-iw0saf

———————————————————————————————-
IC-7700 Firmware update Ver 1.10;  Icom have released firmware version 1.10 for the IC-7700 Update 2009/06/08 – A description of the changes and download F/W appear in the link  below:

Link to: Icom download the 3-page description of changes including screen shots
Link to: Icom.co.jp Word Support Firmware file download

veronscreen1IC-7700 aggiornamento Firmware Ver 1.10; La Icom ha rilasciato il nuovo aggiornamento per il transceiver IC-7700 in data 08/06/2009. Le istruzioni, le informazioni e il download dei files si scaricano anche accedendo ai  link qui sopra.
The firmware version of the IC-7700 can be confirmed during turning power ON  • The version appears at the right bottom corner.
[Note] Never cut off power to the transceiver while updating the firmware!
I have a sneaky feeling that interrupting the update process can corrupt the boot-loader (See the Note) For safety’s sake, plug the 7700 into the computer UPS (750 VA) when upgrading (UPS = Uninterruptible Power Supply)  However i belive that any thorough design would must have a boot-loader in a protected sector of the flash of  course so that it couldn’t be erased under normal software update circumstances.
ICOM issued a clarification stating that the firmware updates are in fact cumulative. When you install 1.10 it include the updated previus features
As recommended by Icom, first save your custom settings to USB memory. Upgrading to F/W version 1.10 results in a  *full reset* of the IC-7700

IT
[Note] Non togliere alimentazione al transceiver durante l’aggiornamento del firmware!
Si dice che potrebbe essere dannosa una interruzione del processo di aggiornamento perchè può corrompere il boot-loader. Quindi, per motivi di sicurezza, durante il processo di aggiornamento con il computer è opportuno alimentare il transceive collegandolo alla rete elettrica tramite un UPS da 750 VA minimo (UPS = Gruppo Statico di Continuità)
Credo tuttavia che qualsiasi progettazione accurata deve avere un boot-loader in un settore separato della flash-memory in uso, in modo che essa non dovrebbe essere cancellata durante le normali fasi di aggiornamento del software.
ICOM ha rilasciato un chiarimento che, gli aggiornamenti del firmware sono in effetti cumulativi. Quando si installa la 1,10 si include gli aggiornamenti rilasciati in precedenza
Come raccomandato dal Icom, prima salvare le impostazioni personalizzate in una memoria USB. L’aggiornamento del F/W versione 1,10 comporta anche il *reset completo* del IC-7700
IW0SAF, Moreno ha fornito la foto del IC-7700 che viene inserita in questo articolo, grazie.
