[. . . ] INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVERS iPCR1500 iPCR2500 FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing this Icom receiver. The IC-PCR1500/ PCR2500 COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVERS is designed and built with Icom's state of the art technology and craftsmanship. With proper care, this receiver should provide you with years of trouble-free operation. IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the receiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL-- This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-PCR1500/PCR2500. D FEATURES [Common to both models] Wide frequency coverage with all mode receive Real-time bandscope function IF shift function ANF and NR functions are available (Only when the DSP unit is installed. ) EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock R WARNING!CAUTION NOTE Equipment damage may occur. [. . . ] eClick the close ([X]) button to close the [WX Alert] screen. r Click the zWXx button to turn the weather alert function ON. t When the alert is detected, a beep sounds and the indication will be displayed as at right. y Click the zWXx button to turn the weather alert function OFF. NOTE: While receiving a signal (on a frequency other than the weather alert ON frequency), the receiving signal or audio will be interrupted momentarily every 5 sec. (approx. ) in case the alert function is turned ON. This is caused by the WX alert function. To eliminate the interruptions, set the weather alert function to OFF. 62 · [Receiver] screen IC-PCR1500 IC-PCR2500 zWXx Active band only · [Compo] screen IC-PCR1500 IC-PCR2500 METER/SCAN PANEL MAIN SUB · [WX Alert] screen zWXx e Click q Click Click to monitor the selected weather channel. w Select · [Simple] screen IC-PCR1500 IC-PCR2500 MAIN IC-PCR1500 SUB IC-PCR2500 zWXx zWXx zWXx BASIC RECEIVE FUNCTIONS 5 Squelch delay setting · [Receiver] screen IC-PCR1500 IC-PCR2500 Select squelch delay from short and long to prevent repeated opening and closing of the squelch during reception of the same signal. · Long : Long squelch delay.

The IC-PCR2500 has two independent receiver circuits: Main band, and Sub band (available frequencies, operating mode and functions are different depending on bands). · [Receiver] screen Dualwatch operation Single band operation is useful when only one frequency is being watched. The single band operation's control screens are similar as the ICPCR1500. Click the zSinglex icon on the tool bar to toggle between the single band operation and the dualwatch operation. · Even when click the zSinglex icon during Sub band operation, the control screen switches to the Main band frequency automatically. Single band operation zSinglex When the dualwatch operation is in use, IC-PCR2500 must be connected to two antennas.

This feature is useful when you are listening in a moving vehicle or the transmitting station itself is moving. Diversity receiving is available from 50 MHz to 1300 MHz on FM, P25 and DV mode only. · With the squelch open in FM mode while receiving a weak signal, diversity receiving does not work properly.
