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.
Icom IC-7610 External Display
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.
Icom IC-7160 Rear Panel
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.

This radio looks like a SDR-based successor to the IC-910H. It appears to be based upon the same SDR platform that is used in the IC-7300 and the upcoming Icom IC-7610. This should make a very good radio for Satellite and EME work!
IC-9700 Rear Panel
I am hoping for an external monitor capability via USB or Ethernet to take full advantage of the panadapter display. Availability is probably a year away or more…
Jamey, KC1ENX and I are planning to operate as N1FD/M (Mobile HF) during the NH QSO Party this weekend.
