An ICOM IC-7300 Radio Tuned to the 20 Meter Band. The ICOM IC-7300 is a multimode 6 meter, 4 meter (ITU Region 1 only) and HF base station amateur radio transceiver. [1] The IC-7300 was announced to the public at the Japan Ham Fair in 2015. [2] The radio has 100 watts output on CW, SSB, and FM modulations and 25 watts of output in AM. [3]
Morse code is called the original digital mode. Radio telegraphy, designed for machine-to-machine communication is the direct on / off keying of a continuous wave carrier by Morse code symbols, often called amplitude-shift keying or ASK, may be considered to be an amplitude modulated mode of communications, and is rightfully considered the first digital data mode.
The transceiver can transmit and receive on the HF 10-, 15-, 20-, 40-, 80- and 160-meter bands, [33] and can receive WWV and WWVH on 15 MHz. It can use SSB , FSK and CW on all bands. [ 33 ] The TS-820S' power consumption is 57 watts (with heaters on) when receiving and 292 watts when transmitting.
One of the first challenges faced by amateurs implementing packet radio is that almost all amateur radio equipment (and most surplus commercial/military equipment) has historically been designed to transmit voice, not data. Like any other digital communications system that uses analog media, packet radio systems require a modem.
Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components that conventionally have been implemented in analog hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software on a computer or embedded system. [1]
The signal from the spark gap transmitter consisted of damped waves repeated at an audio frequency rate, from 120 to perhaps 4000 per second, so in the earphone the signal sounded like a musical tone or buzz, and the Morse code "dots" and "dashes" sounded like beeps. The first person to use radio waves for communication was Guglielmo Marconi.
The D-STAR open radio system was developed by Icom based on digital radio protocols developed by the Japan Amateur Radio League and funded by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. [6] This system is designed to provide advanced voice and data communications over amateur radio using open standards.
There have been several system improvement programs, including the Integrated Communications Security (ICOM) models, which have provided integrated voice and data encryption, the Special Improvement Program (SIP) models, which add additional data modes, and the advanced SIP (ASIP) models, which are less than half the size and weight of ICOM and ...
