The Radio Today guide to the Icom IC-9700 (Radio Today guides)

I have an IC-7610 and bought the book for that radio and it made learning the radio so much easier. When I got an IC-9700 I was having difficulty just trying to save memory slots. While I did figure it out I also purchased this book. It showed me three different ways to save memories.This book is far better than any ICOM manual I've ever seen. If you have this radio this is a great reference book to keep in the drawer next to the radio.

This book quickly became a vital part of my IC-9700 set up. I had it spiral bound so it sits flat and I can follow the book step by step. It seems clear that the author has tried everything he has written. This radio and the IC-705 (I bought that book too) are very complex radio that have a number of functions. I'm sure it was a lot of work and I sincerely appreciate that effort. Every IC-9700 owner needs this book! 5 stars!

This is the book that should have been included with the IC-9700. The manufacturer's owners manual is detailed, but difficult to follow. Andrew Barton (author) makes the identification, functions and purposes of the radio features easy to follow, much like any amateur radio operator would normally use the radio. This is an essential reference for the IC-9700, and very well priced. I highly recommend the book.

This book provides an excellent in-depth description of the functions and features of ICOM's IC-9700 transceiver. Much easier to read and find references than the OEM manual, which includes a good Table of Contents as well as an excellent Index so finding specific information is very easy.(P.S. I question the previous comment concerning 'complicated math' in this book. While this book does occasionally make reference to computer interfacing numerical parameters, there is no actual math in this book.)

This is a very good instructional book. I was going to buy one of these radios and wanted to know more about it before I placed the order. Placed the order yesterday.

Funny thing is, I read the factory manual cover to cover. And yet I cannot resist these guides as much as they tell you how to do something, they tell you some options to configurations that you may or may not prefer. I had bought the one for the IC-7300 and after that, had to get the one for the IC-9700 and it did not disappoint. The author has a good easy style that makes it better to follow and read in short bites, as you need to. I would have given it five stars but the 9700 is so much more complex that I feel like the guide should have been longer for it.

ZL3DW's books are essential reading if you own IC-9700, IC-7610 and/or IC-7300. I own the first two and have both guides. If I owned a 7300 I would have that guide, as well.These guides provide the essential bridge between the OEM manuals and your practical operating experience. They are well laid out, covering all aspects of radio controls and interfaces, settings, and operating details. They also include key information you may need to interface with common PC applications.If you have one of these radios, get the book.

Great companion to the IC9700! It takes the basic & advanced manuals, compiles them and creates a very usable guide to the radio. Even coming from the IC7300, which I did, you will need this book. There are features not necessarily covered well in the Icom documents and technique that is spot on for operation.Do yourself a favor and pick up this book if you have already purchased an IC9700 or are on the fence about it.You will not be disappointed.

Very informative and complete step by step guide!

The IC 9700 is a complex radio and the supplied manual, though adequate, is not comprehensive. This superb book picks up the slack and takes you through every setting in a step-by-step way that gets you where you need to be.This book will have you operating the radio to its full potential far quicker than you could imagine.

Thanks to the writer for this very good book, for take the control of the icom transceiver i own.thanks from a HAMRADIO operator i am, 73s F6HTG jean-jacques

Super Buch mit sehr vielen hilfreichen Informationen für den Betrieb mit dem IC 9700
