# ICOM IC-9700 VHF/UHF/1.2 GHz Transceiver

Experience the cutting-edge performance of the **ICOM IC-9700**, a premium tri-band transceiver engineered for demanding VHF, UHF, and 1.2 GHz enthusiasts. Purpose-built for weak signal, satellite, and EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) communication, the IC-9700 integrates RF direct sampling on 2m and 70cm bands and IF sampling for 23cm — ensuring ultra-low noise, high dynamic range reception, and unmatched clarity across all bands.

With an impressive **100W output on 2m, 75W on 70cm, and 10W on 23cm**, this powerhouse combines Icom’s proven **SDR (Software Defined Radio)** architecture with **D-STAR digital voice and data modes**, giving operators the flexibility to handle everything from analog FM and CW to advanced digital communications.

Integrated digital up-conversion (DUC) transmitter architecture and FPGA-based DSP processing allow RF signal digitization within the digital domain—reducing distortion and improving demodulated audio clarity compared to legacy superheterodyne receiver designs.

With SD-card-based voice recording, QSO logging, configuration backup, and dual-receive full-duplex operation, the IC-9700 is suitable for fixed amateur radio installations supporting weak-signal communication and digital mode operation.

Whether you’re chasing DX signals or running satellite contacts, the IC-9700 delivers superior precision, real-time spectrum visibility, and intuitive control in a single, robust package.
