  • Description

By Andrew Barron, ZL3DW

The Icom IC-905 is and an amazing transceiver with a groundbreaking design that makes the microwave bands accessible to a wide group of amateur radio operators. To make most of this radio you will need to understand the limitations of working at super-high frequencies and as always, this Radio Today guide to the Icom IC-905 by Andrew Barron ZL3DW will help you with that.

The Radio Today guide to the Icom IC-905 does not simply repeat the information in the supplied manuals. It is an impressive user's guide, with step-by-step instructions on how to set up the radio for the various modes and how to operate it, all written from an operator's perspective. There are descriptions on how to set up the transceiver for SSB operation, including all the relevant menu settings. Followed by instructions for CW, FM, RTTY, and DV (D-Star) operation alongside instructions for popular external digital mode programs, including WSJT-X for JT65 and FT8. The IC-905 may suit your plans to operate through the Es'hail-2 (QO-100) geostationary satellite transponders, so you will also find dedicated a chapter to this a complicated topic.

The IC-905 builds on the success of the IC-7300, IC-705, and IC-9700. The controller is the same size as the IC-705, with the same touchscreen display and a nearly identical front panel layout. It also has similar menu and function screens, but the radios are completely different inside. The IC-705 is a portable transceiver with internal batteries whilst the IC-905 includes no RF modules or batteries and all the radio stages are in the external RF unit. If this is your first SDR radio you can be excited about the excellent spectrum and waterfall display. You might also like the 'FIX' spectrum mode where you can pre-set the spectrum display to show a band segment up to 50 MHz wide on the high bands. As you would expect there is much more to discover and Andrew describes what you need to know.

If you have or are considering purchasing the Icom IC-905 for exploring microwave operation or just chatting on the local repeater then this is book is the ideal guide to its cutting-edge SDR technology, the controls and features of this great radio.
