Icom IC-905 Transceiver 144/430/1200/2400/5600 MHz and 10 GHz optional

IC-905 Icom – All Mode SDR Transceiver VHF/UHF/SHF

The IC-905 is a development of Icom's recent SHF project “Super High Frequency Band Challenge” (SHF-P1), recently launched at the Tokyo Hamfair 2022.
IC-905 is the first VHF/UHF/SHF multi-band transceiver with coverage of 144/430/1200/2400/5600 MHz and 10 GHz (the latter band with optional CX-10G transverter) and multi-mode SSB, CW, RTTY, AM, FM including ATV (Amateur TV) in analog FM and D-STAR “Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio” (DV/DD modes). The DD mode allows data transmission at up to 128 kbps, with the possibility of also acting as a D-STAR access point and operating in terminal mode.

With an innovative design, this new Icom radio features a controller with the same form factor as the IC-705 and an RF module for outdoor installation. This design choice minimizes the length of the TX/RX coaxial line, thus minimizing RF losses for maximum performance. With the adoption of PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology, the connection occurs with a single LAN cable, providing greater installation flexibility and the possibility of remotely powering the RF module, which can be positioned in the immediate vicinity of the antennas. The adoption of a high-precision clock signal (1PPS) obtained from a GNSS antenna allows the OCXO frequency to be compensated.

The RF power on the 144/430/1200 MHz bands is 10W, on the 2400/5400 MHz bands it is 2W, while at 10 GHz it is 0.5W.

There are many accessories and functions in common with the IC-705 such as the SD Card slot for storing radio parameters, voice memories, frequency memories, photos, and audio recording of QSOs, etc.

The 4.3” TFT color touch screen display allows for quick and intuitive operation with an oscilloscope and a high-performance spectrum analyzer with Waterfall function that allows you to view the variation in intensity of a signal over time and detect even the weakest signals to have a detailed overview of the band in which you are operating.

The suggested retail price is €3,999.00 (VAT included).

The suggested retail price of the optional CX-10G transverter is €1,698.00 (VAT included).
