Front Mounted Loudspeaker
The IC-718 has a speaker mounted on the front panel. With the speaker facing the operator, the audio can be clearly heard without impediment during operation.
Superior Basic Performance
The IC-718 has 0.03 ~ 29.999999 MHz* general coverage receive capability. A 4-element system is employed for the 1st receive mixer, providing superior receive IMD, especially from in-band nearby interfering signals. Also built-in is a well-designed double-conversion system to help minimize image and spurious responses for better signal fidelity. The PLL circuit has been adopted to improve C/N ratio characteristics. Combining the 4-element system mixer and new PLL circuit allows superior basic performance as a commercial-grade transceiver.
