Dualwatch, wideband receiver
Dualwatch capability
The IC-R2500 has a dualwatch receive capability* 1, allowing you to receive two bands simultaneously. It covers 0.01–3299.999 MHz in AM, FM, WFM, SSB, CW, DV*2 and P25*3 on the main band, while the sub-band covers 50–1300MHz in AM, FM and WFM modes.
*1 Two antennas are required for dualwatch receive.*2 Optional UT-118 required.
*3 Optional UT-122 required. Already installed with some versions.
*4 Frequency range differs depending on version.
Diversity receive capability
The diversity receive* mode is useful for mobile operation where the receive condition changes continuously. It compares the signal strength and dynamically chooses the antenna with better signal strength to maintain good sound quality.
* Two antennas are required. Available in FM/DV/P25 mode between 50-1300MHz only. Cannot use the diversity receive function while using the dualwatch function.Wide LCD display for independent band control
The wide LCD display shows both main/sub band settings in an easy to read, symmetric side by side layout. The controller provides separate tuning, volume, squelch knobs and function buttons for the left (Main) and right (Sub) bands. Also, The LCD backlit color is selectable from amber and green. Chose the suitable color for lighting conditions or preference.
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 the 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 IC-R2500’s 60 Ch/second scan rate*. Program, priority scan and various scanning modes are available.
* When tuning step is less than 100kHz in program scan mode.Other features
