• Icom Serial Number Decoding. I just need to control 2 antennas ( a 3el SteppIR for 20-6m, and an Alpha-Delta DX/B 160-30m. I have a Unified Microsystems BCD-14 controller board but need an Icom.
  • Also got the Icom/yaesu hf rigs. I happen to have a 706mk2g and a ts-570. To be honest. For HF the 570 is far better then the 706 IMO W2NAP, Dec 12, 2016.

Hot News! New IC-7600 V2.00 Firmware was released on 18 May 2015. Click link below.
Clarification for NXDN Decoding Thread; Use either Digital Speech Decoder (software package) or DSDPlus software, along with a scanner which, in many cases, will require a Discriminator Tap. You can also use a SDR with these applications without the need for modifications. Radios with no trunking support. AOR AR5700D; AOR DV1 Note: 6.25 khz.

Once again, we are honored and excited to present a new Icom HF/6m transceiver.
The above photo illustrates the IC-7600 as presented at Tokyo HamFair 2008. The IC-7600 is a 100W-class HF/6m HF transceiver, utilizing Icom's well-known and proven IF-DSP architecture and feature set. Note the large TFT display screen. More information will be provided here as it becomes available.
The IC-7600 received FCC certification on February 9, 2009. FCC ID: AFJ307300.

In the photo below, it will be noted that the elimination of the moving-coil meter has freed up sufficient front-panel space to accommodate the IC-7600's larger TFT display.

IC-7600 Firmware Update V2.00 (released 18 May 2015: incorporates major new functionality)

Improvements added by V2.00 Firmware:

  1. Waterfall screens, mouse operation, and other additional functions have been added to the spectrum scope.
  2. An APF AF Level setting has been added.
  3. CI-V commands for antenna control, logging software and RIT/DELTA-TX have been added.
  4. TX Delay (HF/50M) settings have been added to adjust the TX delay time.
  5. A Standby setting has been added to remotely turn ON the IC-7600 transceiver by a command from the REMOTE jack.
  6. 'MOS-FET' is now the default value of 'SEND Relay Type.'
If you ever need to know exactly when your Yaesu radio was manufactured here is the way to decode Yaesu serial numbers:
Position 1 = year made

Icom Ic 7000 Serial Numbers

Position 2 = month made
C = January
D = February
E = March
F = April
G = May
H = June
I = July
J = August
K = September
L = October
M = November
N = December

Icom Serial Number Decoder

Pos 3 &/or 4 = lot number(s)
Pos 5<-8 sequence in that lot
Position 1: last digit of the year in which the radio was produced

Icom Serial Number Decoding Numbers

Position 2: Determine the position of the letter in the alphabet (C=3,D=4,E=5, etc) and then subtract 2. The result gives the month in which the radio was manufactured. Note that the letters will range from C (January) throughN (December). Thus, a radio with a serial number of 6J691278 would have been manufactured in 2006 (6), during the month of August (J=10, 10 minus 2 = 8, August is the 8th month), was part of lot 69, and was the 1278th radio in that lot.
