Ultra wideband coverage
The IC-PCR1500 is a PC control receiver and all functions are
controllable from your PC. Explore radio signals from all over
the world from 0.01 to 3299.999MHz*.
* Frequency range differs depending on
version.
USB cable connection
The USB port provides a faster data link to the PCR1500 which
allows you to expand the receiver’s capabilities with quicker
response times as well as new audio processing functions, as you
are able to hear the received signals through your computer’s
audio system.
3 interface screens to choose from
Choose the look you want with Icom’s user interface screens,
“Communications receiver”, “Component-style” and “Compact”
screen are selectable.
Multi channel monitor function
Icom introduces a new monitor tool with the PCR1500. You can
monitor up to 25 channels. The software tracks the band activity
with S-meter levels as each channel status is visually displayed
by three background colors. Simply click the busy channel and
the PCR1500 tunes to the active channel.
Bandscope and time-line scope
Not only a 5MHz (Max.) wide range bandscope*,
the new timeline scope allows you to observe the band condition
within a specified time period (3 to 100 minutes). In addition,
the sweep data can be stored on your PC for future use.
* AF output is not emitted when setting
the bandscope range between 500kHz and 5MHz or setting in CW or
SSB mode.
Recording function
New recording features are introduced with the PCR1500’s
software package. You can record audio in WAV format directly
through the USB port. Skip the hours of channel inactivity with
the software’s remote control function which pauses and resumes
recording according to the channel activity. You can also adjust
the sampling rate.
DSP capability
If you are into weak signal work, the optional UT-106, DSP unit,
is a must have. This add-on gives you noise reduction and auto
notch filter functions to improve the S/N ratio for improving
the received signal quality.
Max. 60 Ch/sec. high speed scan
Quickly search a frequency range with the IC-PCR1500 60 Ch/sec
scan speed*.
* Depending on PC’s capability. 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 and ignores unmodulated, beat noise
signals
- CTCSS/DTCS tones and duplex mode operation for monitoring a
repeater
- S-meter squelch
- Pocket beep function
- 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)
- Auto memory write scan searches for a signal, and when a
signal is detected, the received frequency is automatically
stored into the PC memory
- AFC function (Auto Frequency Control) automatically follows
the receiving frequency when the receiving frequency drifts in
FM mode. (BW: 6kHz or 15kHz)
- AGC function; Fast/slow setting is possible
- Weather alert function (U.S.A. version only)
- 24-digit DTMF tone decoder
- Tuned bandpass filters for VHF/UHF bands
- Squelch delay
- Up to 2600 memory channels per file
