2 for 1, Dualwatch
receive
Until the IC-R20, the capability of monitoring two frequencies
required two radios. Whether you need to monitor local public
safety, air traffic control, or at the track listening to two
drivers, even the play by play from both the local TV and radio
station is possible! (See specifications for actual frequency ranges
for Dual- watch receive.)
Shortwave to
microwave, Wideband coverage
The IC-R20 covers 150kHz to
3304.999MHz* in SSB, CW, AM, FM and WFM modes. This covers AM/FM
radio and TV broadcasts, wireless communications for boaters,
aviation, conventional public safety and many other commercial
services.
(* Depending on version, U.S.A. version is cellular blocked. )
4-hour
digital recorder
The IC-R20 has an internal 32MB digital
recorder capable of storing received communications. This feature is
useful in a variety ways, like recording a wireless microphone audio
at a meeting. There is also a USB port to download to a computer for
storage or to forward to a friend.
(PC play-back not possible)
CTCSS,
DTCS tone signaling
When multiple users share the same channel, these users use
specialized signaling to reduce interference from other users. The
two popular signaling formats, CTCSS and DTCS are standard in the
IC-R20. Tone scan is also possible.
Alphanumeric memory channels
With 1,000 regular memory channels, 200 automatic memory scan
channels and 25 pairs of frequency scan edges, the IC-R20 makes it
easy to identify received signals with the capability of programming
a name to each channel.
11
hours of continuous receive*
Icom’s energy efficient design allows
the IC-R20 11* hours of continuous reception from the internal
Li-Ion battery pack. Also, the IC-R20 can operate with 3 AA Alkaline
cells, or longer operation as well as charging the internal battery
pack is possible from either an optional cigarette lighter cable or
the supplied AC adapter.
(* Single receive in FM mode, at Max. AF audio.)
See
your signals
Sometimes hearing a signal is not
enough, so the IC-R20 includes a band scope. The bandscope enables
you to see signals around a monitored frequency. An additional
function of the bandscope is the ability to hear the signal while
sweeping a range, so you can see if the signal is modulated.
Scan
features
The IC-R20 is Icom’s fastest receiver
with 100* channels per second scanning speed. You can tag memory
channels into dynamic banks, ranging from Max. 100 channels per bank
(Max. 26 banks) as well as link multiple banks for customized memory
bank scanning. Additionally, the IC-R20 offers multiple scanning
controls such as scan delay, scan resume for received signal notification.
(* In VFO mode.)
