Source: The new IC-7610 Direct-Sampling SDR HF/6m Transceiver
The new IC-7610 Transceiver is the much-anticipated dual-receive version which uses Icom’s SDR platform that was first available in the IC-7300. The source page has some useful photos and a block diagram of the receiver.
The addition of Icom’s Digitial Preselector functionality is a welcome enhancement over the IC-7300. The Digi-Selector should be useful in multi-radio and other high-interference environments.
The new radio will also have a connection to an external display. This is a great addition as it makes the excellent panadapter capability in Icom’s SDR platform much easier to view and use.
The rear panel includes connectors for two antennas. There are BNC jacks for connection of a separate receive antenna and/or a Transverter. Also included is an Ethernet interface for remote control and USB interfaces for connection to a local computer.
You can see more about this new Transceiver on Icom’s page.
Saw the promos at Boxboro. Still no price info. Who has the over/under pool on: the 7610, the pan adapter, and the IC9700?
