The Icom IC-7600 covers the 160 to 6 meter amateur bands. It utilizes IF-DSP technology and selectable roofing filters at 3kHz, 6kHz and 15kHz. Like the IC-7700 and IC-7800, the IC-7600 uses dual 32-bit floating-point Texas Instruments DSP chips with one for the radio and the other for the spectrum scope. This display is a 5.8 inch color WQVGA LCD.

Status: Currently on the market as of 2017, still in production. Replaces the Icom IC-756 Family of transceivers.

Tip: The first time you update, thoroughly read the Section 14 (UPDATING THE FIRMWARE) of the IC-7600’s instruction manual and information for firmware 2.00 on Icom Co. Support page. The firmware can be updated using a USB-flash drive.

Some new features:

  • point and click the mouse for Click-and-Listen receiver control.
  • Waterfall screens
  • additional functions added to the spectrum scope
  • APF AF Level setting
  • CI-V commands for antenna control, logging software and RIT/DELTA-TX
  • TX Delay (HF/50M) settings for variable delay time
  • Standby setting to remotely turn ON the IC-7600 using the REMOTE jack.
  • MOS-FET is now the default value of SEND Relay Type
