A New Innovative Shack Style<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

In today\u2019s connected world, the IC-7760 introduces a new connected system consisting of a remote control head and RF deck, connected with a commercially available control (LAN) cable. \u00a0This concept increases the flexibility of your station installation, making more space available on the desktop by placing the RF deck in an area closer to the antenna feed point. \u00a0In addition to the direct connect feature, control head to RF deck, utilize your home network to make any tabletop your shack and a PC is not required!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Full Control Head with Separated RF Deck<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Separate Control Head and RF deck configuration.<\/strong>
\nImproved Installation Flexibility and Space-saving Operation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The IC-7760 consists of a separate remote control head and RF deck\u00a0and uses a LAN cable for connecting between them. It increases the\u00a0flexibility of the installation. A control cable (3 m, 9.8 ft) is supplied with\u00a0the transceiver, and a commercially available LAN cable* can be\u00a0used to install the RF deck in a more remote location. It enables the RF deck to be placed in a rack or other location away from the station desktop, providing a quiet shack environment away from the noise of the fan used to dissipate the heat generated by the RF deck.<\/p>\n

* LAN cable: Cat5e or higher. Cable length: Maximum 100 m, 328 ft<\/span><\/p>\n

Flexible In-house Remote Operation<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Supports In-house Remote Operation Through a Home LAN Connection<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

The IC-7760 can be connected to the control head and RF deck through\u00a0a wired home LAN network*. This gives the user even greater\u00a0flexibility of the RF deck. Because of its simple configuration that\u00a0does not require a PC, the control head of the 7760 can be moved\u00a0anywhere in the house and operated not only from the shack but also\u00a0from the living room, etc., as long as a LAN connection is available.
\n* Communication between the control head and the RF deck depends on the network\u00a0environment in which it is used.\u00a0Gigabit Ethernet is required.<\/span> The control head can be\u00a0used on a different network segment than the RF deck such as over a network switch.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Dual, Independent Receivers<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

The IC-7760 has independent\u00a0MAIN\/SUB receivers, from the\u00a0antenna to the speaker, so that one\u00a0receiver section has no effect on the\u00a0other, providing simultaneous\u00a0reception of two signals in different\u00a0bands\/modes with identical performance.\u00a0As with the IC-7851, dual\u00a0spectrum scopes provide simultaneous display of the MAIN and SUB\u00a0bands allowing the operator to see the changing band conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Advanced RF Direct Sampling System<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The IC-7760 adopts the RF direct\u00a0sampling system, in which RF signals are\u00a0directly converted to digital signals and the\u00a0signals are processed by an FPGA (Field\u00a0Programmable Gate Array). This system\u00a0avoids non-linear distortions that occur in\u00a0mixer stages during the analog signal\u00a0processing. In addition, by employing DSP\u00a0units in both the RF deck and control head, the IC-7760 is able to handle\u00a0complex audio path switching due to various interface inputs and\u00a0outputs, while minimizing delay in a home LAN environment.<\/p>\n

DIGI-SEL and Preamp<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The DIGI-SEL (Digital Pre-selector) is highly effective in rejecting out-of-band strong signals such as from broadcasting stations or\u00a0multi-multi operation. In conventional models (such as IC-7850\/51 or\u00a0IC-7610), the DIGI-SEL circuit was located soon after the RF input\u00a0(antenna) to prevent signal distortion by\u00a0 out-of-band interference.\u00a0Even if the preamp was turned ON, the noise figure (receiver\u00a0sensitivity) could not be improved, as DIGI-SEL had an insertion\u00a0loss due to its narrow bandwidth.\u00a0In the IC-7760, which is a direct sampling system, DIGI-SEL prevents overflow (OVF) due to unwanted out-of-band signals rather than signal distortion, and the\u00a0preamp uses the A\/D converter to take full advantage of its dynamic\u00a0range. When preamp is turned ON in the IC-7760, the preamp\u00a0enhances the intended signal first, then DIGI-SEL filters out\u00a0unwanted out-of-band signals. This makes it possible that the\u00a0preamp works\u00a0together with DIGI-SEL.<\/p>\n

A Total of 15-separated BPF (Bandpass Filter)<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

While the previous model covered HF bands with a 9-separated BPF\u00a0(Band Pass Filter), the IC-7760 uses an 11-separated BPF in HF bands.\u00a0In addition, by employing sharp filters specialized for each amateur\u00a0band, the BPF efficiently attenuates out-of-band interference signals\u00a0in the RF stage, and prevents overflow at the A\/D converter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

DPD (Digital Pre-Distortion) Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The DPD function corrects non-linear distortion at the final amplifier\u00a0by applying inverse distortion in advance. A clean signal transmission\u00a0is achieved while providing 200 W of high output power at the same\u00a0time. The DPD function also works at the 1 kW output in combination\u00a0with the IC-PW2*.<\/p>\n

100% Duty Cycle at 200 W Output<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The IC-7760 uses a 450 W-class 65 V LDMOS-FET in the PA section,\u00a0combined with a large heat sink and effective cooling system to\u00a0achieve a generous 200 W full power full duty operation*.\u00a0Continuous\u00a0FT8 mode operation is also possible. Furthermore, modulation and\u00a0frequency conversion are made through digital signal processing, the\u00a0D\/A converter directly outputs the transmit frequency, achieving the\u00a0purest transmission C\/N. By using\u00a0450 W FETs device in 200 W output, the PA achieves excellent IMD\u00a0characteristics.<\/p>\n

The dual Spectrum Scope provides excellent sweep speed, resolution, and a\u00a0wide dynamic range of 100 dB with FPGA, DSP and CPU combined\u00a0processing for main and sub bands. It can also monitor two different bands at\u00a0the same time, which is useful for monitoring conditions and during contests.\u00a0Dual scopes can be shown left-to-right or top-to-bottom layout, depending on\u00a0the situation and needs. In the Continuous SCROLL mode, a wide bandwidth\u00a0exceeding 1 MHz can be seen on the scope screen. The waterfall display\u00a0shows changes in the frequency spectrum vertically, enabling the user to find\u00a0a weak signal that is difficult to detect with the spectrum scope. Increases\u00a0QSO possibilities without missing weak DX stations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

RC-7760\u00a0is the optional control head for the IC-7760 HF\/50 MHz transceiver, which offers revolutionary remote control capabilities with the new firmware 1.10 (from February 25, 2025).<\/p>\n

Even with network delay or jitter, the IC-7760 adjusts its buffer to ensure precise signal transmission and CW keying. The optional RC-7760 Remote Controller is available as an additional control head. Up to five control heads can be registered to the RF deck. Only one of the control heads connects to the radio and takes control at a time. Commercially available Wi-Fi\u00ae access points can be connected to the LAN port for a wireless connection.<\/p>\n

* Please note that an Internet connection requires stable speeds of at least 10 Mbps from RF deck to control head, and at least 5 Mbps from control head to RF deck. A VPN connection or Port Forwarding using with either a global static IPv4 address or dynamic DNS (DDNS) is necessary for Internet access. Restrictions may apply based on your network configuration. Brief audio dropouts may occur due to packet loss.<\/span><\/p>\n
