Re: How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
Hi Howard,
As the whole IC-7000 concept is speculative at this stage, I see no harm in
a healthy dose of speculation. This can often lead to interesting technical
discussion, expressions of wishes/hopes for features and capabilities, etc.
Speculation is encouraged - with the usual caveat that civil and polite
discourse is expected. (The alternative to same will simply not be
tolerated.)

DSP filters not crystal filters. With dual passband tuning you can
get just about any passband and center frequency in 50Hz and 100Hz
steps respectively as long as it remains below the basic bandwidth
setting for the filter, which is also variable in principle.

It does not run on batteries at this time. But that is because it
does not run at all at this time. Apparently it is still in design
not production.

Re: How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
Hi Ya'akov,
This phenomenon (actual blow-by caused by inadequate stopband attenuation of
the filter, or signal leakage around the filter) cannot occur in a DSP
filter system, as the stopband attenuation and comebacks (lobes) are a long
way below the 0 dBr passband-centre reference.
Have you attempted to measure the blow-by in your 706 by sweeping across the
passband with a signal generator and measuring the audio output in the
passband and stopband?
Cheers for now, 73,

Re: How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
If you say so. I have the graphs here that say you are misinterpreting
what you are seeing and hearing. What you are calling blow by of CW
signals is indeed ringing. It is a vicious problem with sharp filters.
I spent quite some effort for a fast frequency hopping radio getting
the ringing down to levels such that I did not experience jamming
by strong adjacent channel signals simply due to this basic property
of filters. A softer stop band curve will show less ringing for
signals outside the passband. It will snow less attenuation of pure
continuous carriers. At some point there is an optimal compromise for
your given application. I note that the basic ProII filters are VERY
sharp. As such mathematical analysis of the filter properties suggests
you will get filter output excited by signals outside the filter's
passband and that this will be an annoying problem in most cases.
It will be an issue with any transceiver that has a very sharp
CW filter. There's nothing that can be done about it.
As an aside what engineers call blow by is actual signal leakage
around the filter when tested with continuous carriers. The digital
filters appear to have precious little of this blow by. The filter
lobes are far enough below the passband level that you're talking
of a fantasy world with better filtering the last I checked on my
ProII.
I really figure what CW operators call blow by is something entirely
different, filter ringing due to excitation from off frequency
signals. The more "key click" the off frequency signal has the worse
this ringing will be. And note that the ringing will not necessarily
be classic 100Hz single crystal filter ringing that happens with on
frequency signals due simply to the narrow pass band.
If you want to use filters correctly in weak signal vs. strong signal
environments it does pay to understand your filter characteristics
very intimately so you can make useful compromises.

Re: How much is the IC-7000 going to cost me?
Hi Joanne,
Actually, the safe end-point of discharge for a lead-acid cell is 1.8V
(10.8V for a 6-cell, 12V battery).
Hence the end-cell. The output of a 7-cell lead-acid battery under C/10 load
will range from 14.7V (fully-charged, off the charger) to 12.6V (safe
end-point of discharge.)
In practice, it is unlikely that a Field Day setup will have a 200 Ah
battery (C/10 = 20A). Thus, the output voltage under full transmit load will
be less than the nominal value at both ends of the range, and the discharge
curve will be correspondingly shorter. Oh well, chalk up a sulphated battery
to FD incidentals...

how many software filters can be configured at once on the IC-7000?

Does the IC-7000 transmitter conk out around 12 volts like the

filter. By definition, a bitstream cannot blow by a mathematical process
through which the DSP algorithm compels it to pass.
A single 2.1V (nominal) end-cell is another solution to the lead-acid
battery-voltage drop-off problem. This technique is often used in stationary
battery plant for telecom installations. The behaviour of the IC-7000 for
Vin < 12V is yet to be determined.

My Icom IC7006mkiiG does not cascade the filters. There is a considerable amount of "Blow By" the narrower (250 Hz 500 Hz) filters. It will be interesting to see if Icom addresses the "Blow By" issue 3. Nobody knows yet. In any event, a properly-designed charging system should hold the battery at around 13.5V.

But when discharging the battery (for example on Field Day) you are out of luck, unless you buy Leo's Battery Booster at I know a number of IC-706xx users who have gone that route. Yahoo!

To address your questions:
1. No idea. I would speculate that the initial price will be in the USD 1100 ~ 1200 range. [snip] The defaults for CW will probably be the same as on the Pro series - 1.2 kHz, 500 Hz and 250 Hz. I believe that you are
referring to cascaded 500 and 250 Hz filters; that concept does not exist in the DSP IF subsystem, as the DSP filters have far better shape factors than are attainable with two cascaded analogue filters.

A bunch of money to get a color screen, and a few bells and whistles
