In typical fashion (ID-51A muffled microphone, ID-5100 no included mounting bracket or hardware and dim display in sunlight, IC-9100 D-STAR as an expensive accessory, etc, etc), took their typical 'screw-you' attitude to existing owners, and quietly redesigned the 7700's PA board without admitting fault in the original. Icom, while they make some nice solid stuff, really blundered on that deal. The 7700 seemed to hunt quite a bit until it locked on. When I got the 9100, I was surprised at how much more quickly that internal antenna tuner functioned compared to the 7700's. I was very careful about the impedances that I fed it into though, and I don't remember using the internal antenna tuner much at all. Had one of the original units (sold it) and never had an ounce of problem with it. Please visit my IC-7700 page: 73, Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ Logged. Johnny and I then travelled to Japan to attend APDXC 2014 and take in some sightseeing (including wonderful Kobe beef!) We were treated to a hands-on preview of the IC-7850. I spent the first week of last month in Hong Kong visiting my old friend Johnny VR2XMC, whom you may know. I have not heard of any Rev.ġ2 PA failures. 12 PA uses a single ST Micro STAC2942B (a twin MOSFET device rated for Po = 350W) in its output stage. Still, if the IC-7700 is new and has a serial number as described above, it will have the Rev. The PA board is on the underside of the heatsink, so the assembly must be released from the chassis to view the board. The PA board is difficult to inspect as it is mounted on the finned heatsink with the fins towards the top. Other prefixes are 11 for Japan (domestic) and 13 for EU. 12 is the US/Canada version with S/N of the form 12XXXXX.
Hi Alex, If the first digit of the country/region prefix in the serial number is 1, the IC-7700 is unequivocally a Rev.

Does anyone know how to tell what number the PA board would have on any particular unit? Further, does Rev.12 only apply to USA models or to 7700s worldwide? Is there any particular serial number I should look for that may help in the identification of whether the unit is pre- or post- revision? Game Motogp 2004 Full Version Pc there. 12 PA board that seems to have solved the issue. I've read about newer units with the Rev. There is no Icom dealer here in Hong Kong and so if this unit does join the Blown Finals Club I'd have to go through the dealer to have the unit shipped back to Japan and endure all the associated hassle that would entail.
I'm tempted to pull the trigger on a brand new IC-7700 that's sitting in my local dealer's shelf (as he's offering a good price for it). Thanks, Brian Palmersheim - 73's de KB0ETC Logged Pages.

I think Icom just use the sequential method of serial no#s starting with the first one in production to the last one for the model # I hope that helps 73 Gerry Logged. Icom 706g is in it's 4th year of production already and is a great little rig. Judging by the IC-735 production figures mine was in the 29000 region and I bought it in 1991 the 7th year of its production run I think final production figures were close to 40,000 for that rig. Your Icom IC-706MKIIG must be a recent one my IC-706MKIIG is serial 4900 ballpark and I bought it in April of 2000.
