IC-718
Features
| Front Mounted Speaker | The IC-718 has a speaker mounted on the front panel. With the speaker facing the operator, audio sounds can be clearly heard without impediment during operation. |
| Superior Basic Performance | The IC-718 provides 0.03–29.999999 MHz general coverage receive capability. A 4-element system is employed for the 1st receive mixer, providing superior receive IMD performance, especially from in-band nearby interfering signals. |
| Noise Reduction Function | The Noise Reduction function pulls desired AF signals from noise, providing clean audio in SSB and AM operation. |
| Automatic Notch Filter | The Automatic Notch Filter function minimizes beat signals and heterodynes while preserving the received signal. |
| IF Shift Function | The IF Shift function electronically shifts the center frequency of the IF passband to reduce adjacent interference. |
| Microphone Compressor | The low distortion microphone compressor increases average audio output level, improving talk power during long distance communication. |
| RF Gain Control | The RF gain control adjusts receiver gain and ignores signals weaker than the preset level for comfortable standby and scanning operation. |
| Ample CW Features | Built-in electronic keyer with adjustable dot/dash ratio, CW pitch, key speed, and full break-in capability. |
| Easy VOX Operation | The VOX function provides hands-free operation by detecting audio signals from the microphone. |
| Five Selectable IF Filter Widths | The FPGA digital filtering system provides selectable IF filter widths to suit different operating styles. |
| Digital S/RF Meter | The multifunction digital meter indicates signal strength during receiving and transmit output power, ALC level, or VSWR ratio during transmission. |
| Simple Operation | The IC-718 is designed with a minimum number of buttons and knobs for easy operation. Direct frequency entry and memory channel selection are available through the front panel keypad. |
| Optional Automatic Antenna Tuner | Compatible with the optional AH-730 automatic antenna tuner for fast antenna matching. |
