Frequency calibration (approximate)
A very accurate frequency counter is required to cali-
brate the frequency of the transceiver. However, a
rough check may be performed by receiving radio sta-
tion WWV, WWVH, or other standard frequency sig-
nals.
CAUTION: The IC-7700 has been thoroughly ad-
justed and tested at the factory before being
shipped. You should not have to re-calibrate it.
q Push to select USB mode.
w Push and hold for 1 sec. to clear the
PBT setting and make sure that the RIT/ ∂ TX func-
tion is not activated.
e Set the frequency to the standard frequency station
minus 1 kHz.
• When receiving WWV or WWVH (at 15.00000 MHz) as
a standard frequency, set the operating frequency for
14.99900 MHz.
• Other standard frequencies can be used.
r Push several times to close a multi-func-
tion screen, if necessary.

frequency, resulting in a single tone being emitted.
