Icom IC-7110 HF/VHF/UHF All-Mode Mobile SDR Transceiver

Overview

The Icom IC-7110 is Icom’s new HF/VHF/UHF all-mode transceiver and the direct successor to the long-running IC-7100. Designed for mobile, portable and fixed-station use, it combines a compact separate RF unit with a detachable control head featuring a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen, built-in speaker and illuminated controls.

The European version covers the HF, 50 MHz, 70 MHz, 144 MHz and 430 MHz amateur bands and supports simultaneous reception across different band combinations. Icom has also integrated modern connectivity including Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, GNSS and USB Type-C, together with D-STAR functionality and a real-time spectrum waterfall.

Typical Applications

The IC-7110 is particularly well suited to mobile HF/VHF/UHF installations, where the radio body can be installed out of sight while the compact control head remains accessible to the operator. Its combination of HF and VHF/UHF capability also makes it a versatile single-radio solution for the shack.

Dual-watch capability makes it possible to monitor a local VHF or UHF channel while operating HF, while the integrated GNSS, D-STAR, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth functions support modern digital and connected operating environments.

Specifications

Why Choose the Icom IC-7110?

• One radio from HF to 70 cm – covers HF, 6 m, 4 m, 2 m and 70 cm in the European version.
• Flexible installation – separate RF unit and control head make it especially suitable for vehicles and space-limited stations.
• Modern Icom interface – 4.3-inch touchscreen, waterfall and physical illuminated controls combine visual operation with direct access.
• Connected operation – built-in Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, USB-C and D-STAR reduce the need for external interfaces.

“I want it.”
“I’m looking forward to monitoring 2M in the car while also playing around on HF.”
“The packaging looks like a HUGE improvement for anyone using this in a car.”

What’s Included – In the Box

The complete European supplied-accessory package has not yet been officially published. A 3.5 m [11.5 ft] controller cable has been reported from the Tokyo Ham Fair presentation, with an optional 5 m [16.4 ft] cable planned.

Performance Notes / Setup Guidance

The IC-7110 uses a separated control-head architecture. The controller must remain connected to the RF unit during operation and does not operate as a standalone QRP transceiver.

The integrated speaker in the control head keeps received audio close to the operator when the RF unit is remotely installed, while illuminated controls improve visibility during mobile operation.

No internal automatic antenna tuner has been announced. Operators requiring automatic antenna matching should plan for an external tuner or a resonant antenna system.

The Icom IC-7110 brings the proven IC-7100 concept into Icom’s current SDR generation, combining HF through 430 MHz coverage, dual-watch reception, D-STAR and modern wireless connectivity in a highly flexible mobile and shack platform.
