Icom announces the R1500 Mobile
Icom proudly announces
the debut of the new mobile receiver IC-R1500.
It covers from 0.01 to 3299.999MHz in all modes (0.495-1300MHz only in SSB
and CW modes)
and versatile functions such as multi-channel monitor, bandscope and
IF shift function support efficient and effective reception.
PC connection with the USB cable is possible to allow PC interface operation, if
desired.
FEATURES
Wideband receiver
0.01–3299.999MHz in all
modes (0.495–1300MHz only in SSB and CW modes). 1Hz fine tuning
resolution is available in all bands. When connected to a PC, all functions are
controllable from mouse click or keyboard input.
Ultra
wideband coverage
The IC-R1500 is a PC control receiver and all functions are controllable from
mouse click or keyboard. It covers 0.01 to 3299.999MHz in AM, FM and WFM modes and also
covers 0.495 to 1300MHz* in SSB and CW modes.
USB cable connection
The USB cable provides higher data transmission
and quick response. It is also possible to transfer the received
audio to the connected PC via the cable and allow you to hear
from the PC speakers or record the sound on the PC.
Multi channel monitor function
Up to 25 channel activities can be observed on
the multi-channel monitor screen at a glance. According to the
S-meter level, each channel status is visually displayed by
three background colors. When you click a busy channel, you can
easily start listening to the selected channel.
Remote controller head
The IC-R1500 is
supplied with remote control head for mobile or base
station use. Green, amber and yellow backlit color are
selectable allowing the user visual enjoyment to compliment
their listening enjoyment.
3 interface screens to choose from
Communications receiver, Component-style and Compact screens are selectable
Two types of bandscopes
Two types of bandscope function allows you to easily observe the
band condition within a specified bandwidth (25kHz to 5MHz) or a specified time
period (3 to 100 minutes)*. In addition, the bandscope sweep data can be stored
on your PC.
AF output is not emitted, when setting the bandscope range between
500kHz and 5MHz or setting in CW or SSB mode.
Max. 60 channel/second high speed scan The IC-R1500 has a
Max. 60 channel/sec. high speed scan capability*. This superior scanning power
allows the utmost efficiency when searching a wide frequency range. Auto memory
write scan searches for a signal, and when a signal is detected, the received
frequency is automatically stored into an auto memory write channel bank.
*Depending on PC’s capability. Tuning step is 100kHz or less in
program scan mode.

DSP Capability
With the optional DSP unit, UT-106, you can add a
noise reduction function, which improves the S/N ratio. Also, the automatic
notch filter automatically cuts beat interference. These DSP functions pull out
desired signals from noise, and provide superior receive quality.
OTHER FEATURES
VSC, CTCSS, DTCS tone and S-meter squelch
The VSC (Voice
squelch control) opens the squelch only when a modulated signal is detected and
ignores unmodulated, beat noise signals. The CTCSS and DTCS tones provide quiet
stand-by while waiting for a matched tone signal. In addition to a regular noise
squelch system, the S-meter squelch release the AF mute, when only signals
stronger than the pre-set S-meter level are received. And more, the pocket beep
function alerts you with a beep sound when a matched tone signal is received.
• Weather alert function (U.S.A. version only)
• DTMF tone decoder
• Duplex operation
• Recording function ... Allows you to store
received audio on the PC in WAV format
• Tuned bandpass filters for VHF/UHF bands
• 1000 memory channels can be stored
• All IC-PCR1500 functions are available, when connected to a PC
• Pocket beep function
• IF filter selection for changing IF filter width.
• Noise blanker (SSB/CW/AM mode only)...Eliminates pulse type noise such as
engine ignition.
• IF shift function (SSB, CW mode only)
• 20dB (approx.) RF attenuator (below 1300MHZ)
• Auto memory write scan
•AFC function (Auto Frequency Control)...Automatically compensates for
frequency drift in FM mode and keys the receiver
tuned to the center frequency
of the tuned station. (BW: 6KHz or 15KHz)
• AGC function ... Fast/slow setting is possible
• 24-digit DTMF tone decoder
• Tuned bandpass filters for VHF/UHF bands
• Squelch delay
• Up to 2700 memory channels (including 100 scan edges) per file
