About the 5 MHz frequency band operation (only USA version)
Operation on the 5 MHz band is allowed on 5 discrete
frequencies and must adhere to the following:
• The USB mode
• Maximum of 50 watts ERP
(Effective Radiated Power)
• 2.8 kHz bandwidth
It’s your responsibility to set all controls so that trans-
mission in this band meets the stringent conditions
under which amateur operations may use these fre-
quencies.
NOTE:
We recommend that you store these fre-
quencies, mode and filter settings into memory
channels for easy recall.
* The FCC specifies center frequencies on the
5 MHz band. However, the IC-9100 displays carrier
frequency. Therefore, tune the transceiver to
1.5 kHz below the specified FCC channel center
frequency.

To assist you in operating the 5 MHz band within the
rules specified by the FCC, transmission is illegal on
any 5 MHz band frequency other than the five fre-
quencies shown in the table above.
