Note
The IC-575 series consists of compact dual-banders that simplify installation for mobile and portable use by providing both 10-meter (28MHz) and 6-meter (50MHz) capabilities in a single unit. They support multiple operating modes, including SSB (USB/LSB), CW (Normal/Narrow), FM, and AM. The transceivers are built for high performance, featuring a high-sensitivity receiver and a CPU for advanced control.
Note that the IC-575A includes a built-in AC power supply, while the IC-575H does not.
Features
– Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS): Provides rapid lockup times and fast transmit/receive switching, making the units ideal for data modes like packet and AMTOR.
– Broad Frequency Coverage: In addition to the amateur bands, the receiver provides continuous coverage from 26MHz to 56MHz, allowing for public service broadcasting monitoring.
– Memory: Includes 99 programmable memory channels that store frequency, mode, subaudible tones, duplex direction, and offset information.
– Scanning: Offers four separate scanning functions: Memory Scan, Programmed Scan, Selected Mode Memory Scan, and Skip Scan.
– Receiver Performance: Incorporates a built-in RF preamplifier using high-grade J-FETs, a balanced-type mixer for high dynamic range, and a notch filter system to reduce single-tone noise.
– Full Break-in: Supports both semi and full break-in for CW operators.
– Computer Interface: Features a serial port (CI-V) on the rear panel for full remote control of frequency and mode via a personal computer.
