Icom IC-905 - SDR All Mode VHF/UHF/SHF
From the innovative project, this new Icom radio has a controller with the same form factor as the IC-705 and an RF module for outdoor installation. This design choice minimizes the length of the TX/RX coaxial line, therefore minimizes RF losses for maximum performance. With the adoption of PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology, the connection takes place with a single LAN cable, providing greater installation flexibility and the possibility of remotely powering the RF module, which can be positioned in the immediate vicinity of the antennas. The adoption of a high-precision clock signal (1PPS) obtained from a GNSS antenna allows to compensate the frequency of the OCXO.
The RF power on the 144/430/1200 MHz bands is 10W, on the 2400/5400 MHz bands it is 2W, while at 10 GHz it is 0.5W.
There are many accessories and functions in common with the IC-705 such as the SD Card slot for storing radio parameters, voice memories, frequency memories, photos, and audio recording of QSOs etc.
The 4.3″ TFT color touch screen display allows you to perform quick and intuitive operations with the oscilloscope and a high-performance spectrum analyzer with waterfall function that allows you to view the intensity variation of a signal over time and also detect the weakest signals to get a detailed overview of the band in which you are operating.
