To an antenna Non-Icom Linear amplifier [ANT1]*2 RF OUT RF IN ALC SEND Relay Switching diode ALC (Blue) HSEND (Orange) /VSEND GND IC-7100 ACC 13.8 V (Gray) 13-pin plug with ACC cable RWARNING! *2 When connecting a 144 MHz or 430 MHz band's liner amplifier, connect to [ANT2]. The SEND terminal of the linear amplifier must be connected to the HSEND (ACC connector pin 3) for the HF, 50/70* MHz bands, and to VSEND (ACC connector pin 7) for the 144/430 MHz bands. An external relay must be used. * 70 MHz band transmission is available, depending on the transceiver version. When the HSEND (or VSEND) terminal controls the inductive load (such as a relay), a counter-electromotive force can damage or cause the transceiver to malfunction. To prevent this, add a switching diode on the load side of the circuit to the counter-electromotive force absorption. • We recommend adding a switching diode, such as an "1SS133". • W hen the diode is added, a switching delay of the relay may occur. Be sure to check its switching action before operating. The ALC input level must be in the range 0 V to -4 V. The transceiver does not accept positive voltage. Non-matched ALC and RF power settings could cause a fire or damage the linear amplifier. When using a linear amplifier such as IC-PW1/EURO, adjust the output power to stay within the ALC zone by pushing MIC/RF PWR (C). For ALC zone information, refer to 'Basic transmit operation.' (p. 3-23) When using a linear amplifier that has a time delay between receiving and transmitting, a high SWR might cause the linear amplifier to malfunction. To prevent this, slow the TX Delay the "TX Delay" settings in the "Function" Set mode.

WARNING!

The SEND terminal of the linear ampliﬁer must be connected to the HSEND (ACC connector pin 3) for the HF, 50/70*

MHz bands, and to VSEND (ACC connector pin 7) for

the 144/430 MHz bands. An external relay must be used.

* 70 MHz band transmission is available, depending on the transceiver version.

When the HSEND (or VSEND) terminal controls the inductive load (such as a relay), a counter-electromotive force

can damage or cause the transceiver to malfunction. To prevent this, add a switching diode on the load side of the

circuit to the counter-electromotive force absorption.

•

We recommend adding a switching diode, such as an “1SS133”.

•

When the diode is added, a switching delay of the relay may occur. Be sure to check its switching action before

operating.

The ALC input level must be in the range 0 V to –4 V. The transceiver does not accept positive voltage. Non-matched

ALC and RF power settings could cause a ﬁre or damage the linear ampliﬁer.
