Icom IC-705 is a brand new SDR QRP for HF/50/144/430MHz coming in spring 2020.

The radio has, for example, built-in Wifi, Bluetooth, D-Star & GPS.  It is provided with the same model of 4.3" display as ic-7300/9700 which makes it mkt easy to read & navigated.

It can be powered by battery (BP-272 same as e.g. ID-51) & gives a maximum of 5W, in external operation (13.8v) the radio gives max 10W.
Size 20cm wide, 8cm high & 8.5cm deep, weight about 1kg without battery.

HF/50/144/430 MHz Multimode Operation
From HF to 50/144/430 MHz, you can enjoy a variety of bands in D-STAR DV, SSB, CW, AM and FM modes. The IC-705 receives continuously from 30 kHz through the 144 MHz band. You can also enjoy FM broadcast and Airband reception.

RF Direct Sampling System
The IC-705 uses the RF direct sampling method* matured in the IC-7300, IC-7610, and IC-9700. This method greatly reduces distortion. The high speed /high resolution real-time spectrum scope and waterfall display are incorporated in a compact design for the first time in this class.
* Down-conversion IF sampling method for 25 MHz and above

Real-Time Spectrum Scope and Waterfall Display
The IC-705 inherits the performance and functions of the highly-acclaimed IC-7300 and IC-9700 scopes. You can visually figure out the band condition and check clear frequencies. It takes you to the next level beyond traditional field operation.

Large Touch Screen Colour Display
The large 4.3 inch colour TFT touch LCD is the same size as the IC-7300 and IC-9700. It offers intuitive operation of the IC-705’s functions, settings, and various operational visual aids, such as the band scope, waterfall, and audio scope functions.

Compact and Lightweight Design
“Base station radio” performance and functions are packaged in a compact size of approximately 20 cm, 7.9 in (W) × 8.35 cm, 3.3 in (H) × 8.2 cm, 3.2 in (D). The weight is approximately 1.1 kg (including BP-272). Its compact and lightweight design enables you to hold it with one hand.

BP-272 Li-ion Battery Pack or 13.8 V DC External Power Supply
The IC-705 utilises the high capacity Li-Ion battery from the ID-51A and ID-31A handheld radios. A 13.8 V DC external power supply can be used for operation and charging of the BP-272.

Maximum Output Power 5 W (BP-272), 10 W (13.8 V DC)

In portable mode, the IC-705 has a maximum output power of 5 W from the BP-272 which can last approx. 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.
* TX : RX : standby = 1 : 1 : 8 (The Power Save function ON, in the FM mode)

Supports Connections Using WLAN/Bluetooth® Technologies
Utilises WLAN/Bluetooth® technologies for linking and remote control*. The VS-3 headset (optional) enables more comfortable operation via Bluetooth®
* Those features will be available with future firmware upgrades.

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.
* Micro SD required

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.
* microSD card is not supplied.

Micro USB Connector
In addition to audio and rig control, the micro USB port allows charging capability, making digital modes easy with minimal cables.

D-STAR Functions
Enjoy the latest G3 Gateway and DV mode features with the IC-705. Have direct access to the D-STAR network with Terminal/Access point modes. Additionally, the IC-705 has the Photo Share feature introduced with the IC-9700. Share photos, without the need of a computer with other users with an IC-705 and IC-9700.

Programmable Speaker/Microphone

Enjoy portable operations with the supplied HM-243, programmable speaker/microphone. Perfect for operation with the IC-705 safely secured in the optional LC-192 backpack. User assignable buttons put functions like frequency and volume adjustments at the tip of your fingers, without removing your backpack.

Optional LC-192 Backpack, Ideal for Field Operations
Designed to be the "Ultimate", must have accessory for the IC-705, the LC-192 is the perfect utility backpack. Features like a safety strap, with a 1/4”-20 mounting lug to keep the IC-705 from accidentally falling out of the custom radio compartment to the user-adjustable internal panels for custom compartments for antennas, battery packs, or other items necessary for an afternoon SOTA activation.

Περιγραφή

Από HF έως 50/144/430 MHz, μπορείτε να απολαύσετε μια ποικιλία ζωνών σε λειτουργίες D-STAR DV, SSB, CW, RTTY, AM και FM. Το IC-705 λαμβάνει συνεχώς από τη ζώνη των 30 kHz έως τα 144 MHz. Μπορείτε επίσης να απολαύσετε εκπομπές FM και over-the-air λήψη. 

Το IC-705 χρησιμοποιεί ένα σύστημα άμεσης δειγματοληψίας RF, όπου τα σήματα RF μετατρέπονται απευθείας σε ψηφιακά δεδομένα. Στη συνέχεια υποβάλλεται σε επεξεργασία στο FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), το οποίο καθιστά δυνατή την απλοποίηση του σχεδιασμού του κυκλώματος και τη μείωση του εσωτερικού θορύβου που μπορεί να κρύψει τα ασθενή σήματα. 

Οι επιδόσεις που παρατηρούνται με τα πεδία IC-7300 και IC-9700 είναι στο άκρο των δακτύλων για λειτουργία πεδίου. Μπορείτε να δείτε γρήγορα τη δραστηριότητα της ζώνης καθώς και να βρείτε μια καθαρή συχνότητα, όλα στο συμπαγές ραδιόφωνο και όχι ως ακριβό πρόσθετο. 

Χρησιμοποιεί την μπαταρία Li-ion υψηλής χωρητικότητας από τα φορητά ραδιόφωνα ID-51E και ID-31E. 
Μια εξωτερική πηγή τροφοδοσίας 13,8 V DC μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για τη λειτουργία και τη φόρτιση του BP-307. 

Σε φορητή λειτουργία, το IC-705 έχει τη μέγιστη ισχύ εξόδου 5 W από το BP-307, η οποία μπορεί να διαρκέσει περίπου 4,5 ώρες*. Αυτό είναι τέλειο για αληθινή λειτουργία QRP 5W καθώς και για λειτουργία QRPp 0,5W. Μόλις εγκατασταθεί με πηγή τροφοδοσίας 13,8 V DC, έχετε έως και 10 W.
