Icom IC-9700 All-Band DSTAR Transceiver with Touchscreen Display
Function Introduction

D-Star, Perfected
D-Star, Perfected
Icom's improved AMBE+2 implementation delivers FM-like D-Star audio quality—say goodbye to mechanical, choppy voice. Dual vocoders support simultaneous monitoring of D-Star signals in the 2-meter and 70-cm bands, and even monitoring its own transmissions via internet-connected repeaters. Integrated GPS DR mode automatically scans for nearby repeaters, making road trip operation easy and convenient.

Comprehensive Spectrum Analyzer
Comprehensive Spectrum Analyzer
A 4.3-inch touchscreen displays a real-time spectrum analyzer, adjustable from 5 kHz to 1 MHz, featuring a scrolling waterfall graph showing the frequency band activity history. You can identify meteor scattering signals, satellite downlink carriers, or find clear frequencies before transmission. Simply tap any signal to instantly jump to that frequency—no need to rotate the VFO in fast-paced competition.

Direct-Sampling Clarity
Direct-Sampling Clarity
Traditional VHF/UHF transceivers employ multi-stage conversion, introducing phase noise and spurious responses. The IC-9700's direct sampling architecture digitizes the RF signal immediately after bandpass filtering, maintaining signal purity across the 144 MHz, 430 MHz, and 1.2 GHz bands. The result is an extremely low noise floor, with MDS signals as low as -140 dBm clearly visible even on a spectrum analyzer—performance comparable to a dedicated spectrum analyzer.
