Icom's IC-905 is a mobile amateur radio (ham) designed with ham operators at every level in mind. The IC-905 is the industry's first microwave rig in the 144, 430, 1200, 2400, 5600 MHz and 10 GHz* bands. Multi-mode operation in SSB, AM, FM, D-STAR DV/DD, and FM-TV (Amateur TV) is possible.
Key features
- Separate Controller and RF Unit Configuration: The IC-905 is the industry's first super-efficient microwave base station with the RF unit designed to be at the base of the antenna, rather than in the shack. This design eliminates signal loss due to costly, long coax feed line runs found
- Less Signal Cable: With the RF unit mounted at the antenna, transmit and receive signals are at their maximum efficiency as the coax feed line is measured in centimetres rather than metres, keeping signal loss to a minimum. This is possible due to the control
- Power Supplied through the Controller Cable: The DC power is supplied from the controller to the RF unit through the controller cable, making it possible to supply power with a low loss. Moreover, optional CX-10G's power is supplied from the IC-905 RF unit.
- Less Cable Loss than Coaxial Cable: With the RF unit mounted at the antenna, transmit and receive signals are at their maximum efficiency as the coax feed line is measured in inches rather than feet, keep signal loss to a minimum. This is possible due to the controller cable
- GPS-Controlled Oscillator for Ultimate Frequency Stability: Frequency accuracy and stability are required for SHF band operation. Even with a high-performance OCXO, the frequency gradually changes due to temperature and ageing.
- Wideband 50 MHz Span Real-time Spectrum Scope: A high-performance real-time spectrum scope and waterfall display are built in. The real-time spectrum scope can be adjusted for Centre, Fixed, and Scroll mode, and it covers a wide bandwidth of up to 50 MHz span.
