The IC-R6 has an efficient low current consumption design for long operation. The IC-R6 has a 100 channels per second high-speed scan capability, useful when searching over 1300MHz of spectrum! You can name each of the 1300 available memory channels, making frequencies easier to find.
A useful VSC (Voice squelch control) function improves the quality of reception by opening the squelch only when modulated signals are detected. The use of a large internal speaker and BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier ensures loud, crystal clear audio whatever the level of background noise. The IC-R6 has a drip-resistant case that protects the radio from harsh weather and damp conditions so you can take it virtually anywhere.
It is also ideal as a piece of test equipment for the professional radio engineer.
Listen to international, national, regional and local broadcast radio stations, plus many more interesting frequencies such aircraft, air traffic control, marine bands or even listen to the motor racing teams at a race track. The IC-R6's wide band reception of 0.100-1309.995MHz means that you can listen to anything from AM broadcast to UHF TV audio. Whether you are listening to something new while travelling or catching your favourite radio programs at home, the IC-R6 will become an indispensable piece of equipment for you to own and carry with you. Small in size, measuring only 58 (W) x 86 (H) x 30(D) mm, the IC-R6 contains many big features that allow you to listen to the widest variety of broadcasts.
Even more, software developers can build their own R6 interface! It is a handy feature for those listeners who are scanning for talk, news and music, but not data bursts or beacons.ĭid you know that the R6 is computer controllable? The R6 features open source control commands that allow users to write their own software. The VSC opens the squelch only when a modulated signal is detected and ignores unmodulated beat noise. This superior scanning power allows the utmost efficiency when searching over 1300MHz of spectrum! The R6 can scan * 100 channels per second high speed. Use the bank link scan feature to choose from and connect any of the 22 memory banks. With 1300 alphanumeric memory channels, 50 scan edges and 200 auto write memories, the R6 gives you flexible scanning. Amateur stations, AM, FM, short wave broadcasts, TV audio * and a variety of utility communications can be caught and listened to. While the R6 receives an ultra wideband frequency range, the radio provides superior sensitivity and receiver characteristics, which are insusceptible to interference. RX Frequencies:Ĭellular frequencies blocked or unblockedīlocked version available in black, blue or red The power of listening to the world in the palm of your hand is possible with the compact R6! Whether you are listening to a shortwave station, the local airport approach or ground communications, or simply scanning the various frequency ranges, the R6 offers the most frequency coverage for under $200.
