Ref. R1500

> Ultra wideband coverage
The IC-R1500 covers 0.01–3299.999MHz*1 in AM, FM, SSB and CW mode.
*1 Frequency range differs depending on version.

> Remote control head
While similar to the PCR1500, the IC-R1500 is supplied with a remote control head and 3.4m (11.2ft) separation cable for mobile and/or base station operation. It provides a variety of mounting possibilities in various places. In addition, green, amber and yellow backlit colors are selectable.

> Optional DSP capability
Whether you are into weak signal work or you have noise from your vehicle ignition, the optional DSP unit, UT-106, will help. The noise reduction and auto notch filter functions are the key to pulling a radio signal out of the noise.

> CTCSS, DTCS tone squelch
The CTCSS and DTCS tones provide quiet stand-by while waiting for a matching tone signal. And the pocket beep function alerts you with a beep sound when a matching tone signal is received.

> 1000 alphanumeric memory channels
1000 on-board memory channels at the touch of a button! With Icom’s Dynamic Memory Scan, DMS, you have a versatile memory channel management system at your command. The 1000 memory channels can be arranged by service or personal preference in the 21 memory banks. Selectively link channels together to scan depending on your needs. Programming the memory channels and 6 character memory names is simple with your PC.

> 60 channels per second scan
Quickly scan through a band with the ICR1500’ s 60 Ch/second scan rate*2. Program, priority scan and other scanning modes are available.
*2 When tuning step is less than 100kHz in program scan mode.

> Other features
- VSC (Voice squelch control) opens the squelch only when a modulated signal is detected
- IF filter selection for changing IF filter width
- IF shift function (SSB, CW mode only)
- Noise blanker eliminates pulse type noise such as engine ignition noise (SSB, CW, AM mode only)
- 20dB (approx.) RF attenuator (below 1300MHz)
- Weather alert function (USA/Canada versions only)
- AFC function follows the received signal when its frequency drifts in FM mode (BW: 6kHz or 15kHz)
- 30 min – 2 hour auto power off timer Wideband mobile receiver with remote control head
- Fast/slow AGC setting
- Short/long squelch delay
- All IC-PCR1500 functions are available when connected to a PC (See the IC-PCR1500 page for required PC capability)
- Cloning function allows you to read/write memory contents from your PC. Sharing the data with an IC-PCR1500 is also possible.
