1 kW LINEAR AMPLIFIER
IC-PW1
Descriptions
Wide frequency coverage with 1 kW output*
All HF bands plus the 50 MHz band are covered. The IC-PW1/ EURO provides a stable, clean and low distortion 1 kW from 1.8 MHz to 50 MHz*. In addition, full duty cycle (even during more demanding RTTY or SSTV operation) and full break-in operation are possible. Great for DX’peditions or contest operation.
*Guaranteed within amateur bands only.
Wide ALC adjustable range
Internal circuitry allows the ALC to be adjusted over a wide range. This means that the IC-PW1/EURO can be used with almost any HF, 6 m or HF/6 m rigs–not only Icom rigs*!
*Ask your dealer about usable exciters.
Compact body
Dimensions, including amplifier, power supply, tuner and controller, are only 350(W) × 269(H) × 378(D) mm*. And, because the controller is detachable, the IC-PW1/EURO can be installed almost anywhere in your shack.
*13.8(W) × 10.6(H) × 14.9(D) in.
Other outstanding features…
- Output antennas are selectable from exciters (Icom transceivers only), even when the power of the IC-PW1/EURO is off
- Automatic AC input voltage selector is employed
- Current (lD), Voltage (VD), temperature, SWR and output power protectors are available
- Automatic antenna tuner built-in

Ingress Protection (IP) Code
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings define the level of protection provided by enclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects (dust) and liquid into the electrical equipment.
International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealing characteristics of electrical equipment.
The classification system uses the “IP” code, or “Ingress Protection” code, to define the level of seal.
An IP number contains two numbers (i.e. IP67) in most instances which relate to the level of protection provided by an enclosure or housing.
Either number may be shown as “X” (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate the “X” part is not tested.


Degrees of Solid Particle Protection – 1st Digit
IP6x | No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact. (Dust tight) |
---|---|
IP5x | Protected from the amount of dust that would interfere with normal operation. (Dust protected) |
Degrees of Liquid Ingress Protection – 2nd Digit
IPx8 | Protected against continuous immersion in water. Depth and duration specified by model. |
---|---|
IPx7 | Protected against temporary immersion in water for 1 m (3.3 ft) for 30 minutes |
IPx6 | Protected against water projected by powerful jets from any direction. 100 L per minute by a powerful jets (12.5 mm) for 3 minutes. |
IPx5 | Protected against water projected by jets from any direction. 12.5 L per minute by a nozzle (6.3 mm) for 3 minutes. |
IPx4 | Protected against water splashed against the equipment from any direction |
