PAGE 37
4 RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING Preamplifiers RIT function The preamps amplify received signals in the receiver front end to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity. A preamp is used when receiving weak signals. L Each band memorizes the Preamplifier setting. The RIT (Receive Increment Tuning) function compensates for differences in frequencies of other stations. The function shifts the receive frequency up to ±9.99 without shifting the transmit frequency. Push 1. Push P.AMP ATT (P.AMP).

You can set the preset AGC time constant to a desired value. The transceiver has 3 preset AGC settings for all modes except the FM mode.
PAGE 39
4 RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING Using the Twin PBT SSB, CW, RTTY and AM modes In general, the Twin PBT (Passband Tuning) electronically narrows the IF passband width by shifting the IF frequency to slightly outside of the IF filter passband, to reject interference. The IC-7300 uses DSP for the PBT function. You can narrow the IF passband width by rotating both TWIN PBT CLR inner (PBT1) and outer (PBT2) to the opposite direction from each other.
PAGE 40
4 RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING Selecting the IF filter The transceiver has 3 IF filter passband widths for each mode, and you can select them on the FILTER screen. You can set the IF filter to wide (FIL 1), mid (FIL 2) or narrow (FIL 3). Mode SSB 1. Select the operating mode. (Example: USB) 2. Touch the filter icon for 1 second. SSB-D CW ••Opens the FILTER (SSB) screen. RTTY AM AM-D 3. Touch the filter icon more times to select FIL 1 (wide), FIL 2 (mid) or FIL 3 (narrow). 4. Touch [BW].
PAGE 41
4 RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING Selecting the IF filter shape (Continued) ••SHARP This selection is to emphasize the passband width of the filter. The filter has an almost ideal shape factor. Signals of the out of passband are extremely filtered out and it gives you better audio quality. ••SOFT The filter shoulders are roundly formed as in analog filters. This decreases noise components in the high and low frequencies of the filter passband and increases the S/N of the target signal.
PAGE 42
4 RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING Noise Blanker The Noise blanker eliminates pulse-type noise such as the noise from car ignitions. The Noise blanker cannot be used in the FM mode. LEVEL (Default: 50%) Adjust the level where the Noise Blanker activates between 0 and 100%. Push DEPTH (Default: 8) Adjust the noise attenuation level to between 1 and 10. NB to turn the Noise Blanker ON or OFF. Displayed WIDTH (Default: 50) Adjust the blanking duration time to between 1 and 100.
PAGE 43
4 RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING Noise Reduction Notch Filter The Noise Reduction function reduces random noise components and enhances desired signals that are buried in noise. The Noise Reduction function uses the DSP circuit. The IC-7300 has Auto Notch and Manual Notch functions. Auto Notch: Used in the SSB, AM and FM modes. Manual Notch: Used in the SSB, CW, RTTY and AM modes. Push OFF.
PAGE 44
4 RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING VOX function The VOX (Voice-Operated Transmission) function switches between transmit and receive with your voice. This function enables a hands-free operation. DDAdjusting the VOX function Before using the VOX function, adjust the following items. VOX GAIN (Default: 50%) Adjust the transmit/receive switching threshold level to between 0% and 100% for VOX operation. Higher values make the VOX function more sensitive to your voice.
PAGE 45
4 RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING ∂TX function Monitor function The ∂TX function shifts the transmit frequency up to ±9.99 kHz without shifting the receive frequency.

13 OTHER FUNCTIONS Protection function REF adjustment The transceiver has a 2 step protection function to protect the final power amplifiers in case the antenna SWR becomes high. The function detects the power amplifier temperature and activates when the temperature becomes too high. You can perform a rough frequency calibration by receiving the radio station WWV, WWVH, or other frequency signals. NOTE: •• The transceiver has been adjusted and tested at the factory before being shipped out.

13 OTHER FUNCTIONS Displaying my call sign Screen Capture function You can display your own call sign at power ON. You can capture the transceiver display onto an SD card. Most of the screens used in this manual are captured using this function. However, some displays cannot be captured. [Example: Displaying the call sign JA3YUA] 1. Open the MY CALL screen.

14 MAINTENANCE Cleaning DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, because they will damage the transceiver surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a dry, soft cloth. Replacing fuse DDCircuitry fuse If a fuse blows, or the transceiver stops functioning, find and repair the cause of the problem. Then replace the damaged fuse with a new, adequately rated fuse. 1. Remove the 14 screws, then remove the cover.

14 MAINTENANCE Touch screen calibration function When no screen action occurs, or a different function is activated after touching the screen, the touched point and the detected range may be different. In that case, the Touch screen calibration function helps to correct the touch screen sensing performance. 1. Open the OTHERS screen. MENU » SET > Others 2. Touch “Touch Screen Calibration.” ••A dot is displayed on the screen. dot 3. Touch the dot on the screen.
PAGE 135
14 MAINTENANCE Resetting DDPartial reset Occasionally, erroneous information may be displayed. This may be caused by static electricity or by other factors. If this problem occurs, turn OFF the transceiver. After waiting a few seconds, turn ON the transceiver. If the problem still exists, perform a Partial reset as described to the right. If the problem still exists after a Partial reset, perform an All reset as described to the right. 1. Open the RESET screen. MENU » SET > Others > Reset 2.

14 MAINTENANCE Troubleshooting (Continued) PROBLEM The transceiver automatically switches to transmit while receiving. Cannot contact with another station even if receiving and transmitting seem successful. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION The VOX function is ON. Push VOX/BK-IN to turn OFF the VOX p. 4-10 function The VOX gain is set too high. Adjust the VOX gain. The Split function is activated. ( The transmit and receive frequencies are different.

ABOUT CE INSTALLATION NOTES For amateur base station installations it is recommended that the forward clearance in front of the antenna array is calculated relative to the EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power). The clearance height below the antenna array can be determined in most cases from the RF power at the antenna input terminals. In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter being activated for long periods.
