A Detailed Overview of the IC-7700

[@N4bpp1]

I own a Icom 740 that is 34 years old and has never had a problem. It has worked over 350 countries in cw/phone . Icom makes the best armature radio gear there is you just can't get better gear.

the new version of the Icom IC-7700 does not use two MRF150 transistors in the PA anymore, it uses now 1 single transistor, an entirely different one. there were lots of problems with the pair of MRF150, they quickly damaged and the repair costs $2000.

they just charged me $763 for both.....with labor....has the 2 MPF 150's I think it is....but the rig was free to me....had a note on it, no transmit, bur receives well....I sent it to Icom....they said $763....I said fix it....$5995, with a power cord, and a manual, from GigaParts....nothing else....

MRF 150's....my bad....

I inherited a free, broken IC-7700....almost a grand to fix it, with Ins./shipping both ways (there was a note on top: receives, but no transmit)....got more goodies than I know how to use, and a 240+page manual....but beats paying $6000 for a new one.....for the big bucks....it should have a 2nd rcvr, like the K3, and K4 (????)....but so far, I do like it.....the internal tuner can't do some of my wire antennas, but it does work on 160M....as my TS-850S does, but my TS-440SAT won't tune on 160....I'll spend the winter, and a few contests, getting familiar w/it.....love CW, so I'll concentrate on getting those parts of the radio down first.....and I do like it, cuz I ain't been on 6 meters, in 30+ years.....and it has 6M.....

I just purchased an ICOM 7700 from a friends estate and I replaced my ICOM 7600 which I loved very much. I love Big Radios with lots of buttons and knobs and the 7700 has a total of 90 of them.Several are dual knobs but they are still a knob.It’s a Sweet radio by any standard.It’s a great combination with the ICOM PW-1.👍🎙❤️

Why DSP Texas Instrumens is with no socket? Is not better for servicing? Very big Radio with no 2m and 70cm band, why?

Where is the new 7710? The 7610 is no replacement
