With an excellent balance between cost and performance, the IC-7200 opens the door to the world of HF for new hams and is a great option for long experienced operators looking for a secondary rig to carry out into the field. The IC-7200’s rugged design includes a “rear bumper” that lets you stand the radio on its end and the buttons and knobs on the front panel protect against water intrusion.

IC-7200 Digital modes
How to get the IC-7200 up and running on the digital modes
High stability transmitter
The DDA (Direct Digital Synthesizer) creates a clear, clean transmit signal and improves the C/N ratio. With a dual-fan cooling system, the IC-7200 provides stable high quality output even during high duty cycle operation.
AGC loop management
Distortion and blocking from strong nearby signals are prevented by placing DSP functions inside the AGC loop. The AGC time constants are selectable from fast, slow and off for each operating mode.
Manual notch filter
The manual notch filter delivers more than 70dB of attenuation. Strong interring tones will be eliminated without adversely affecting the AGC loop performance. On the bottom right of the front panel, a dedicated control knob adjusts the notch filter frequency.
Digital Twin PBT
Tailor your IF passband with the Twin PBT by electronically shifting the upper and lower edges of the IF filter. Depending on the use of the concentric knobs, you can either narrow the IF passband, or shift the entire passband to eliminate interfering signals.
Digital noise reduction
The digital noise reduction reduces background noise and improves the signal-to-noise ratio. The noise reduction level is adjustable in 16 steps. It improves the readability of voice and data signals.
Digital noise blanker
The noise blanker reduces pulse-type noise such as engine ignition and sparking. The NB level and width (blanking duration) are adjustable in 100 steps.
IF DSP
While the IC-7200 is an entry-class transceiver, advanced digital features are comparable to higher class transceivers.

USB port for PC control
The IC-7200 can be controlled by a PC through a USB port using the CI-V data format. In addition, modulator and received audio can also be transferred over the USB cable. By using appropriate external software, you can record incoming calls and/or transmit preprogrammed messages from your PC.
