HF / 50 / 144 / 430MHz Multimode
From HF to 50/144/430 MHz, you can enjoy a variety of bands in the D-STAR DV, SSB, CW, RTTY, AM and FM modes. The IC-705 receives continuously from 30 kHz through the 144 MHz band. You can also enjoy FM broadcast and air band reception.
One Touch FT8 Mode Preset
Preset memory offers smooth FT8 mode operation. You can start FT8 mode operation only by selecting [FT8] from PRESET menu. Up to five preset memories can be stored.
RF Direct Sampling System
Performance seen with the IC-7300 and IC-9700 spectrum scope is at the tip of your fingers for field operation. You can quickly see band activity as well as finding a clear frequency, all in the compact radio and not as an expensive add on. Scroll mode automatically keeps the operating signal within the scope range.
Large Touch Screen Color Display
The large 4.3” colour TFT touch LCD, same size as the IC-7300 and IC-9700, offers intuitive operation of functions, settings, and various operational visual aids, such as the band scope, waterfall, and audio scope functions.
Compact and Lightweight Design
"Base Station" performance in the palm of your hand! You will quickly see how this compact radio is rugged, for outdoor use, in a small, lightweight package, weighing approximately 1.1 kg.
BP-272 Li-Ion Battery Pack or 13.8V DC External Power Supply
Utilizing the high capacity Li-ion battery from the ID-51E and ID-31E handheld radios. A 13.8 V DC external power supply can be used for operation and charging of the BP-272.
Maximum Output Power 5Watt (BP-272) 10Watt (13.8V DC)
In portable mode, the IC-705 has the maximum output power of 5 W from the BP-272 which can last approximately 3 hours*. This is perfect for true 5 W QRP as well as the 0.5 W QRPp operations. Once you setup with a 13.8 V DC power source, you have up to 10 W.
WLAN Bluetooth Technologies
Utilize WLAN/Bluetooth® technologies for linking and remote control, for a true wireless operation. The VS-3 headset (optional) enables more comfortable operation via Bluetooth®
GPS Functions
An internal GPS receiver and antenna enhance your operations by providing location logging*, RX/TX locations via D-PRS, “Near Me” repeater search/scan, QSO recording with metadata*, and internal clock synchronization.
microSD Card Slot
The microSD card slot enables the storage of user profiles, QSO recording, TX voice memory keyer, RTTY logging, GPS data, screen capture, firmware upgrades, and programming.
