The new ICOM IC-900A is a totally new modular concept in multi-band amateur radio transceivers.
First, its designed to fit into the stylish, compact instrument panels of modem cars rather than the glove box. Secondly the modular concept makes theft less attractive.
You see, what makeś this concept so impressive is that the main and most expensive components of the radio can be secured and hidden away in the boot.
Its technology is equally impressive.
The IC-900A is the first known to use optical fibrę technology in an amateur transceiver. It uses optical fibrę cable as a link from the two interface units. One for the remote eon troi ler and the other for the band units.
This provides an accurate display of frequency and memory data for any data for any two bands in use.
The IC-900A has a multi-band independent receive and transmit capability. So, it can monitor and use each installed band simultaneously, giving the effect of multiple transceivers.
The transceiver has 10 programmable memory channels in each band unit; up to 60 memories all together. Tuning can be selected in 5 KHz, 10 KHz, 15 KHz, 20 KHz and 25 KHz steps. Options include either the UT-28 Digital Codę Squelch (DOS) unit or UT-29 Tonę Squelch Unit.
The UX-19 band unit covers 28-30 MHz with 10/1 watt selectable output. The UX-59A covers 50-54 MHz at 10/1 watts. The UX-29A covers 144-148 MHz at 25/5 watts (a UX-29H version offers 45/5 watts). The UX-49A covers 430-440 MHz at 25/5 watts. And the UX-129A covers 1240-1300 MHz.
If you find all this impressive, you ll be most pleased to read that the IC-900A handb(X)k is excellent and simple to follow. Especially on installation procedurę.
Perhaps the best thing to do is to visit *yóur ICOM dealer and see how morę impressive the IC-900A is in the flesh.
