OFF and remove the power cable if it emits an abnormal
odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or dis-
tributor for advice.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow
or any liquids.
CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of
the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver perfor-
mance and/or damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded
electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or al-
cohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage
the transceiver’s surfaces. If the transceiver becomes
dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).

microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navi-
gation compass to prevent erroneous indications.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time.
BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifi er is connected, set the
transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear ampli-
fi er’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifi er will
be damaged.

About the 5 MHz frequency band operation (USA version only)
D
Operation on the 5 MHz frequency band is allowed on
5 discrete frequencies and must adhere to the follow-
ing:
• The USB, USB Data, CW and PSK modes
• Maximum of 100 watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power)
• 2.8 kHz bandwidth (maximum)
It is your responsibility to set all controls so that trans-
mission in this frequency band meets the stringent con-
ditions under which amateur operations may use these
frequencies.
NOTE: We recommend that you store these frequen-
cies, modes and fi lter settings into memory chan-
nels, for easy recall.
To assist you in operating within the rules specifi ed by the
FCC, transmission is illegal on any frequencies other than
the fi ve shown in the tables at the right.
• For the USB mode
The FCC specifi es center frequencies on the 5 MHz fre-
quency band. However, the transceiver displays carrier
frequency. Therefore, tune the transceiver to 1.5 kHz
below the specifi ed FCC channel center frequency.

D Preamplifi er
The preamplifi er amplifi es weak signals in the receiver
front end, to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity.
Turn ON this function when receiving weak signals.
(Frequency band: HF/50 MHz)
➥ Push P.AMP ATT (C) one or more times to set the pre-
amp OFF, preamp 1 ON or preamp 2 ON.
• Either “P.AMP1” or “P.AMP2” is displayed when the pre-
amp 1 or preamp 2 is ON.
• No icon is displayed when the preamplifi er is OFF.
P.AMP1
Wide dynamic range preamplifi er. It is most
effective for the 1.8 to 21 MHz bands.
P.AMP2
High-gain preamplifi er. It is most effective
for the 24 to 50 MHz bands.
(Frequency band: 144/430 MHz)
➥ Push P.AMP ATT (C) turn the Preamplifi er ON or OFF.
• “P.AMP” appears when the preamplifi er is ON.
• No icon is displayed when it’s OFF.
D Attenuator
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from being
distorted when very strong signals are near the signal’s
frequency, or when very strong electromagnetic fi elds,
such as from broadcast stations are near your location.
These can both be independently set for each band.
➥ Hold down P.AMP ATT (C) for 1 second to turn ON the
Attenuator.
• “ATT” appears on the display when the Attenuator is ON.
➥ Push P.AMP ATT (C) to turn it OFF.
✔ About the “P.AMP2” preamplifi er
Preamp 2 is a high gain receive amplifi er. When it is
used in the presence of strong electromagnetic fi elds,
distortion sometimes results. In such cases, use ei-
ther the “P.AMP1” or “P.AMP OFF” setting.
Preamp 2 is most effective when:
• Used on bands above 24 MHz and when signals are
weak.
• Receive sensitivity is insuffi cient when using low-
gain antennas, or while using a narrow band an-
tenna (such as small loop, a Beverage antenna or a
short Yagi antenna).

For your information
When you are receiving a weak signal, and a strong
signal is momentarily received, the AGC function
quickly reduces the receiver gain. When that signal
disappears, the transceiver may not receive the weak
signal because of the AGC action. In that case, hold
down [AGC](D) for 1 second, and rotate the Dial to
set the time constant to OFF.

To reject interference, PBT (Passband Tuning) electron-
ically narrows the IF passband width by shifting the IF
frequency slightly outside of the IF fi lter passband. The
IC-7100 uses DSP for the PBT function. Moving both
TWIN-PBT ([M-CH/BANK]
(L)) controls shifts the IF
passband center frequency both above and below the
received frequency.
➥ The LCD graphically shows the passband width and

Split frequency operation
Split frequency operation allows you to transmit and
receive on two different frequencies. Split frequency
operation is performed using frequencies in VFO A and
VFO B.
• The Split frequency operation is automatically turned OFF
when turning ON the One-touch repeater function.
The following is an example of setting 21.290 MHz/
USB mode for receiving and 21.310 MHz/USB mode
for transmitting.
q Set 21.290 MHz in VFO A and select the USB
mode.
w Push

• The transmit frequency (VFO B) and “SPLIT” appear.
• If desired, tap [SPLIT](D) again to turn OFF the func-
tion.
r Set 21.310 MHz in VFO B and select the USB mode.
The setting method has the three following ways.
(1) While holding down XFC (R) in VFO A, rotate the
Dial to set the transmit frequency to 21.310 MHz
in VFO B, and then select the operating mode to
USB.
• While holding down XFC (R), you can change the
frequency band and operating mode in VFO B.
• While holding down
XFC (R), the transceiver re-
ceives the transmit frequency in VFO B.
(2) Touch [A/B](D) to select VFO B, rotate the Dial
to set the transmit frequency to 21.310 MHz, and
then select the operating mode to USB.
(3) Use the Quick Split function.
• The Quick Split function is much more convenient for
selecting the transmit frequency. See the next content
for details.
t Now you can receive on 21.290 MHz and transmit on
21.310 MHz.

To use a repeater gateway, you must register your call
sign with a gateway repeater, usually one near your
home location.
If needed, ask the gateway repeater administrator for
call sign registration instructions.

call sign
( Example:
1:JA3YUA)
• In the original D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for
Amateur Radio) plan, JARL envisioned a system of
repeaters grouped together into Zones.
• The D-STAR repeater enables you to call a HAM sta-
tion in another area through the internet.
• The transceiver can be operated in the digital voice
mode, including low-speed data operation, for both
transmit and receive. It has a built-in GPS receiver to
transmit and receive position data.
D-STAR Intoroduction
The DR (D-STAR Repeater) mode is one mode you can
use for D-STAR repeater operation. In this mode, you
can select the preprogrammed repeater or frequency in
“FROM” (the access repeater or simplex), and UR call
sign in “TO” (destination), as shown to the right.
NOTE: If the repeater, set to “FROM” (Access Re-
peater) has no Gateway call sign, you cannot make
a gateway call.
Destination
(Repeater/Station)
Access repeater
or Simplex
In the DR mode
About the DR (D-STAR Repeater) mode
In the DR mode, the transceiver has three communica-
tion forms, as shown below.
• Local area call: To call through your local area (ac-
cess) repeater.
• Gateway call: To call through your local area (ac-
cess) repeater, repeater gateway and
the internet to your destination re-
peater or individual station’s last used
repeater, using call sign routing.
• Simplex call:
To call another station not using a re-
peater.
NOTE:
• Programming the repeater list is required for DR mode operation. (pp. ??-?? to ??-??)
• Before operating in the DV mode, be sure to check whether the repeater is busy, or not. If the repeater is busy,
wait until it is clear, or ask for a “break” using a method acceptable to your local procedures.
• The transceiver has a Time-Out Timer function for digital repeater operation. The timer limits a continuous trans-
mission to approximately 10 minutes. Warning beeps will sound approximately 30 seconds before time-out and
then again immediately before time-out.

The transceiver has a total of 495 Memory channels (99
channels in each of 5 memory banks, A to E), 6 Scan
Edge channels (3 pairs) and two Call channels (C1/C2)
each for the 144 and 430 MHz frequency bands.
The Memory mode is useful to quickly select often-
used frequencies.
While in the memory mode, all 503 Memory channels
are tunable, which means the programmed frequency
can be temporarily tuned with the Dial.
When you tune a Memory channel without storing, and
then go back to the channel again, the original stored
frequency is displayed.
In the Memory mode, touch just above MHz area on
the display, and then select the desired band. Then ro-
tate the Dial to select the frequency to be stored.
