Explore the World of Microwave<\/h2>\n

The IC-905 is the industry’s first microwave rig in the 144, 430\/440, 1200, 2400, 5600 MHz and 10 GHz* bands. Multi-mode operation including SSB, AM, FM, D-STAR DV\/DD and FM-TV (Amateur TV). Output power is 10 W on 144, 430\/440, 1200 MHz, 2 W on 2400, 5600 MHz and 0.5 W on 10 GHz.
\n*CX-10G is required for 10 GHz operation<\/p>\n

Separate Controller and RF Unit Configuration\"\"<\/h2>\n

The IC-905 is the industry\u2019s first super efficient\u00a0microwave base station with the RF unit designed\u00a0to be at the base of the antenna, rather than in the\u00a0shack. This design eliminates signal loss due to\u00a0costly, long coax feed line runs found in legacy SHF\u00a0designs. Optional 50 m (164 ft) or 20 m (65.6 ft)\u00a0controller cable is available with the IC-905.<\/p>\n

Less Signal Loss<\/h2>\n

With the RF unit mounted at the antenna, transmit and receive signals are at their maximum efficiency as the coax feed line is measured in inches rather than feet, keep signal loss to a minimum. This is possible due to the controller cable providing digital communications between the controller and RF units.<\/p>\n

Power Supplied through the Controller Cable<\/h2>\n

The DC power is supplied from the controller to the RF unit through the controller cable, making it possible to supply power with a low loss. Moreover, optional CX-10G\u2019s power is supplied from the IC-905 RF unit.<\/p>\n

GPS-Controlled Oscillator for Ultimate Frequency Stability\"\"<\/h2>\n

Frequency accuracy and stability are required for SHF band operation.\u00a0Even with a high-performance OCXO, the frequency gradually changes\u00a0due to temperature and aging. To solve this problem, the IC-905\u00a0uses a high-precision 1 pulse-per-second (1 PPS) clock signal from an\u00a0internal GPS (GNSS) receiver to enable advanced frequency control.<\/p>\n

Optional 10 GHz Transverter, CX-10G\"\"<\/h2>\n

The CX-10G transverter provides 10 GHz operation by converting to a 2400 MHz IF signal. 10 GHz operation becomes more approachable and easier to work. The CX-10G is in bypass mode when the use of the 2400 MHz band.<\/p>\n
