A no-backlash dial controls by ICOM’s unique rotary encoder circuit. The Band-edge detector and the Endless System provides out-of-band protection. Variable capacitors and dial gear are not utilized and therefore provide problem-free use. The IC-271H provides FM, USB, LSB, CW ‘coverage in the 144 ~ 148MHz (European version: 144.0 ~ 146.0MHz) frequency range with 100 watts output power. Thus the IC-271H can be used for mobile, DX, local calls, and satelite work. MULTI-PURPOSE SCANNING Memory Scan allows you to monitor all different memory channels or only those stored with a particular mode. Program ‘Scan provides scanning between two programmed frequencies. Auto-stop scanning when a signal is received, in any mode. DUAL VFO'S AND 32 MEMORY CHANNELS. Two separate VFO’s can be used either independently or together for simplex operation, and any desired frequency split in duplex operation. ‘The IC-271H has 32 memory channels and each channel stores the operating frequency as well as the mode, duplex/simplex and subaudible tone frequency (U.S.A. version only). CONTINUOUS TUNING SYSTEM ICOM's new continuous tuning system features & luminescent display that follows the tuning knob movement and provides fan extremely accurate readout. Frequencies are displayed in 7 digits representing 100MHz to 100H2 digits. ‘Automatic recycling restarts tuning at the top of the band, ie., the high edge when the dial goes below the low edge. Recycl: ing changes the high edge to the low edge as well. Quick tuning in 1KHz steps is available, and fine tuning in 10Hz steps if the SSB and CW mades, and SKHz steps and 1KHz steps in the FM mode, is provided for trouble-free QSO. EASY-TO-READ DISPLAY The IC-271H employs an easy-to-read large luminescent display. This displays the operating frequency as well as the VFO in use, operating mode, RIT shift frequency, duplex mode, scan mode, etc. EASIER OPERATION, LIGHTER WEIGHT AND HIGHER POWER ‘The IC-271H is the most compact 100 watt, lightest waight all-mode 144MHz transceiver. It isthe first to use a pulse power supply (option) in communication equipment, for light weight. A SOmm-diameter large tuning control knob is provided for smooth and easy tuning. Easy to use control knobs are provided for both receiving and transmitting. An LED indicates the ‘transmit or receive mode. MOST SUITABLE FOR BOTH FIXED AND PORTABLE STATIONS ‘The transceiver can be operated with a self-contained 117/240V AC (option) or 12V DC power supplies. A convenient Dial Lock switch is included for mobile operation as well as an easy-carry handle. An effective Noise Blanker reduces pulse noise. The IC-SM6, high quality stand microphone {option}, is suitable for fixed station operation. A powerful audio output, 2.0 watts at 8 chim, provides easy listening even in noisy surroundings OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE ‘The RF amplifier and the first mixer circuit incorporate FETs, and other circuits provide excellent Cross Modulation and ‘TworSignal Selectivity characteristics. The IC-271H has excellent sensitivity demanded especially for mobile operation, high stability, and utilize Crystal Filters having high shape factors and exceptional selectivity. ‘The transmitter uses a balanced mixer in a single conversion system, @ band-pass filter and a high-performance low-pass filter ‘This system provides distortion free signals with a minimum spurious radiation levelSECTION 3 INSTALLATION BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATION 3-1 UNPACKING Carefully remove your transceiver from the packing carton, ‘and examine it for signs of shipping damage. Should any be apparent, notify the delivering carrier or dealer im- mediately, stating the full extent of the damage. It is, recommended you to keep the shipping cartons. In the event storage, moving, or reshipment becomes necessary they will be handy. Accessory cables, plugs, ete., are packed with the transceiver. Make sure you have not ‘overlooked anything Microphone (IC-HM12) DC Power Cord. External Speaker Plug Key Plug Spare Fuses (20 Amp) Wiring Fastener 3-2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION 1. Avoid placing the IC-271H in direct sunlight, high temperature, dusty or humid places 2. The temperature of the set will usually become relatively, warm during transmission. Any equipment should be at least 1 inch (3cm) away from the unit so as to provide {good ventilation. Be sure that nothing is on and just behind the rear PA heatsink to ensure good ventilation, ‘Aso avoid places near outlets of heaters, air conditioners, ete. 3, Place the unit so that the controls and switches can easily be handled and the frequency indication and meter can easily be read. 4, For mobile installation, an optional mounting bracket is available, Select the best location that can stand the ‘weight of the unit and that does not interfere with your driving in any way. 8. Use the Ground Lug! 3-3 POWER SUPPLY For AC operation, use the special power supply IC-PS15,, IC-PS30, or optional builtin power supply IC-PS35. If you ‘would like to use your car battery or any other DC power supply, be sure that its output voltage is 12-15 Volts and the current capacity is at least 20 Amps, The maximum, ower consumption of the set during transmission runs about 20 Amps, so keop that in mind if the unit is installed in your automobile, and turn it on after you have started the engine. Attention should also be paid to the condition of the battery and electrical system, ‘The connection of the DC power cord supplied with the IC-271H is done in the following way: First make sure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position and the T/R switch is in the receive position, Connect the cord to a DC power supply with the RED lead to the Positive terminal and the BLACK lead to the negative terminal. (Reverse connection will cause the protection, circuit to operate and blow the fuse.) Connect the DC plug to the socket on the rear panel of the IC-271H, Refer to the drawing below. | For AC operation (with 1-PS15) : C team tests ac For AC operation (when optional 1C-PS36 is installed). | For DC operation ] 2c Power CORD Fuse | (208) | (avack) 3-4 ANTENNA The single most important item that will influence the performance of any communication system is the antenna. For that reason, a good, high-quality, gain antenna of 50, ohms impedance is recommended, for fixed or mobile. In VHF as well as the low bands, every watt of ERP makes some difference, Therefore, 100 watts average output plus ‘3dB of gain antenna equals 200 watts ERP, presuming low VSWR of course. The fow extra dollars invested in a gain, types antenna is well worth it. When adjusting your anten: na, whether mobile or fixed, by all means follow the manufacturer's instructions, There are however some pitfalls to be aware of. For example, do not attempt to adjust an antenna for lowest, VSWR when using a diode VSWR meter not engineered for, VHF applications. Such readings will invariably have an error of 40% or more. Instead, use an in-line watt meter similar to the Bird model 43 or Sierra model 1648 withVHF cartridge. Further, when adjusting a mobile antenna, do so with the engine running preferably above normal idling speed. This will insure, proper voltage level to the transceiver. ‘As the output is quite high, avoid connecting the antenna connector to open lines and do not transmit under mismatched conditions. If SWR is high (more than 3), the ‘output power is reduced to prevent damage to the final ‘The RF coaxial connector on the rear chassis mates with @ standard PL-259 connector. 3-5 MICROPHONE A hiigh quality electret condenser microphone is supplied with your transceiver. Merely plug it into the proper receptacle on the front panel. Should you wish to use a different microphone, make certain it has proper output level, Particular care should be excercised in wiring also, as the internal electrical switching system is dependent upon it. ‘See the schematic for the proper hookup. “Microphone plug exploded view 3-6 CW KEY When operating CW, connect a key to the Key Jack with the plug supplied. The connection of the plug is shown below, If using an electronic keyer, observe proper polarity when installing the key plug. Make sure that the key down voltage across the plug is less than 0.4V DC or improper ‘operation will result. = Key Wiring Diagram 3-7 EXTERNAL SPEAKER The IC-271H contains an internal speaker, and is also designed so that it can drive an external speaker from the external (EXT) speaker jack on the rear panel. Be sure the impedance of the external speaker is 8 ohms, and remember, ‘that with the external speaker connected, the internal speaker is disabled. 3-8 HEADPHONES Any good headphone set, including stereo type, that have 4-16 ohms impedance can be used. With the plug inserted halfway into the PHONES jack, both the headphone and speaker will operate. This is convenient when others wish, to listen in on the station, or you wish to record contacts Using a tape recorder connected to the headphone jack. With a stereo headphone set inserted this way, however, the headphone will lose the sound on one side. With the plug inserted completely, only the headphone works. 3-9 GROUND In order to prevent electrical shocks, TVI, BCI and other problems, be sure to connect a heavy wire gound, as short {a8 possible, from a good earth point to the ground terminal fon the rear panel. 3-10 COOLING FAN ‘Tho rear of the PA unit is designed to provide for adequate cooling, but with 200 Watts input the final stage produces ‘quite @ bit of heat, and its temperature may rise during prolonged transmissions. The fan is connected to a tem- perature monitoring circuit which monitors the temperature Of the final stage. The fan operates as follows: 1, When the temperature rises to @ point (60°C) detected by the temperature monitoring circuit, the fan speed is slow in the receive mode and moderate in the transmit mode to provide additional cooling, 2. If the temperature rises to @ danger limit (80°C) the fan will run much more rapidly. At this time the output power is reduced to a half of the maximum power (about 50 watts) and the RECEIVE INDICATOR will be blinked for a warning until the temperature goes under 80°C in the transmit mode, Investigate the cause of overheating i.e. antenna mismatching, etc. and correct the cause of the overheating before starting to transmit again,SECTION 4 OPERATING CONTROLS 4-1 FRONT PANEL comerER: (omerer swircH- ace swire NOISE BLANKE SWITCH: evox switcH: € -DUPLEX BUTTON: {8 #DUPLEX BUTTON: CHECK BUTTON: OFFSET WRITE BUTTON eTONE SELECT BUTTON: TONE ENCODER SWITCH: DPOWER SWITCH: @T/R switch SMODE SELECT SWITCHES mic connecTor: SSPHONES JACK: GAF GAIN CONTROL: ORF GAIN CONTROL- WSQUELCH CONTROL: @TONE CONTROL: @mic GAIN conTRot——_______] (ORF POWER CONTROL- 1.
