3 BASIC OPERATION D About 5 MHz band operation (USA version only) Operation on the 5 MHz band is allowed on 5 discrete frequencies and must adhere to the following: • USB mode • Maximum of 50 watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power) • 2.8 kHz bandwidth It's your responsibility to set all controls so that transmission in this band meets the stringent conditions under which amateur operations may use these frequencies. IC-7600 Displayed Frequency* 5.33050 MHz 5.34650 MHz 5.36650 MHz 5.37150 MHz 5.40350 MHz FCC Channel Center Frequency* 5.33200 MHz 5.34800 MHz 5.36800 MHz 5.37300 MHz 5.40500 MHz NOTE: We recommend that you store these frequencies, mode and filter settings into memory channels for easy recall. *The FCC specifies center frequencies on the 5 MHz band. However, the IC-7600 displays carrier frequency. Therefore, tune the transceiver to 1.5 kHz below the specified FCC channel center frequency. To assist you in operating the 5 MHz band within the rules specified by the FCC, transmission is illegal on any 5 MHz band frequency other than the five frequencies indicated in the table above. D Quick tuning step The operating frequency can be changed in larger steps (0.1, 1, 5, 9, 10, 12.5, 20 or 25 kHz selectable) for quick tuning. q Push [TS] to turn the quick tuning function ON. • "Z" appears when the quick tuning function is ON. w R otate the main dial to change the frequency in programmed kHz steps. e P ush [TS] again to turn the quick tuning function OFF. • "Z" disappears. r R otate the main dial for normal tuning if desired. TS Quick tuning indicator Main dial D Selecting "kHz" step q P ush [TS] to turn the quick tuning function ON. • "Z" appears when the quick tuning function ON. w P ush and hold [TS] for 1 sec. to enter quick tuning step set mode. • Selected tuning steps for all modes appear. e Select the desired operating mode. r R otate the main dial to select the desired tuning step. • Push and hold [DEF] (F-4) for 1 sec. to return to the default setting, if desired. t R epeat steps e and r to select quick tuning steps for other modes, if desired. y Push [EXIT/SET] to exit the setting display. NOTE: When entering quick tuning step set mode, the quick tuning function must be activated first. 29 DEF TS F-4 Mode selection EXIT/SET Main dial

About 5 MHz band operation (USA version only)

Operat±on on the 5 MHz band ±s allowed on 5 d±screte

frequenc±es and must adhere to the follow±ng:

• USB mode

• Max±mum of 50 watts ERP

(Effect±ve Rad±ated Power)

• 2.8 kHz bandw±dth

It’s your respons±b±l±ty to set all controls so that trans-

m±ss±on ±n th±s band meets the str±ngent cond±t±ons

under wh±ch amateur operat±ons may use these fre-

quenc±es.

NOTE:

We recommend that you store these fre-

quenc±es, mode and f±lter sett±ngs ±nto memory

channels for easy recall.

*The FCC spec±f±es center frequenc±es on the

5 MHz band. However, the IC-7600 d±splays car-

r±er frequency. Therefore, tune the transce±ver to

1.5 kHz below the spec±f±ed FCC channel center

frequency.

Quick tuning step

The operat±ng frequency can be changed ±n larger

steps (0.1, 1, 5, 9, 10, 12.5, 20 or 25 kHz selectable)

for qu±ck tun±ng.

Push

[TS]

to turn the qu±ck tun±ng funct±on ON.

• “

Rotate the ma±n d±al to change the frequency ±n

programmed kHz steps.

Push

aga±n to turn the qu±ck tun±ng funct±on

OFF.

• “

Push

[TS]

to turn the qu±ck tun±ng funct±on ON.

• “

Push and hold

[TS]

for 1 sec. to enter qu±ck tun±ng

step set mode.

• Selected tun±ng steps for all modes appear.

Select the des±red operat±ng mode.

Rotate the ma±n d±al to select the des±red tun±ng

step.

•

Push and hold

[DEF] (F-4)

for 1 sec. to return to the

default sett±ng, ±f des±red.

Repeat steps

and

to select qu±ck tun±ng steps

for other modes, ±f des±red.

Push

[EXIT/SET]

to ex±t the sett±ng d±splay.

NOTE:

When enter±ng qu±ck tun±ng step set mode,

the qu±ck tun±ng funct±on must be act±vated f±rst.
