Author Description

This book includes useful tips and tricks for the configuration and operation of the fabulous Icom IC-705 transceiver. Rather than duplicate the manuals which describe each button, function, and control, I have used a more functional approach. This is a “how to do it” book with easy to follow step by step instructions. The IC-705 is yet another ground-breaking amateur radio transceiver from Icom. It is a 5 watt or 10 watt ‘QRP’ radio with the HF bands, the 6m and 2m VHF bands, and the 70cm UHF band. Combining many features of the IC-7300 HF radio and the IC-9700 VHF/UHF radio. The IC-705 has a huge number of settings and options. Learn about the FT8 Preset and the D-Star picture sharing mode. The built-in GPS receiver, voice and CW message keying, automatic recording, and logging of each call so you don’t have to log your SOTA contacts on a windy mountaintop. This book will help you get the most from this complicated radio.
