Wideband receiver with band switch function
0.150-1309.995MHz* wide frequency coverage means virtually anything from AM broadcast to UHF TV audio is fair listening game. Every TV broadcast channel is preprogrammed into this radio.** Listen to AM & FM radio stations, utility communications, and more. The band switch allows you quick access to the operating band. The last used frequency is recalled when the operating band is changed – its like having 12 VFOs* available. This system provides for simple operation!
* Some versions have restricted coverage.** Depending on version.
1250 Alphanumeric memory channels
Make up your own channel names for each of up to 1250 memory channels, making channel recognition easy! The IC-R5’s LCD display lets you use numbers, letters or a combination of both when naming channels and banks. Icom’s exclusive Dynamic Memory Scan (DMS) gives you the flexibility to customize and manage the IC-R5’s memory banks the way you want or need.
Convenient power and charging
Power on the go is easy, thanks to the IC-R5’s ability to operate from a variety of power sources. You may: power the radio via the DC port; or use two “AA” size rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries: or use long storage life “AA” alkalines. A DC jack allows for simultaneous battery charging while operating the radio.
