Despite the fact that IC-746Pro does not have a color display, nor analog measuring deviceInstalled in IC-756ProII, however, the parameters of IC-746PRO fully correspond to its price (moreover, this is a full-fledged 2-meter apparatus). The 32-bit digital signal processor with 24-bit ADCs and DACs used in the PC tract with 24-bit ADCs allow you to create an equivalent of dozens of different filters selected by simply pressing the button or turn the handle.Īmong the transceivers fully based on DSP-technologies, IC-746PRO costs almost closer with IC-756PRO or IC-756PRII, so it is quite difficult to make a choice between these devices, especially for a radio amateur radio recorder.

It is the transition to DSP filtering is the main difference between IC-746Pro from its predecessor. However, in this transceiver, selectivity was achieved by installing fairly expensive quartz filters DSP-technology implemented in IC-746Pro, provided the flexibility of the formation of response and transmitting tracts and High selectivity without applying additional filters.Įxternally, IC-746PRO is very similar to its predecessor, but inside the device, ICOM specialists successfully conducted an operation to implement DSP into a successful design of the 746th. The original IC-746 used the radio amateurs of certain popularity, because With a relatively "democratic" price, there was quite good parameters and, moreover, it worked in the range of 2 m. Apparently, the company ICOM made a bet on the maximum implementation digital technology In amateur equipment, and the appearance of the "Pro" series can largely stimulate the mass transition of this equipment to DSP. The DSP transceiver of the economic class ICOM IC-746PRO was released on the market literally followed the more expensive model IC- 756PRII.
