2-inch TFT color LCD built-in! See
your information on screen!
Impressive operating status display
Never before has a hand held receiver given you as much information as the
IC-R3. Receiving frequency, tuning step, memory channel number, and more are
visible on the 2-inch* TFT color display at a glance. In addition, the back
ground color is selectable from 8 available colors.

TV picture receive capability
Not only can you see your operation status, you can display broadcast visual
information. NTSC M, PAL B/G or other television systems are supported*1,
depending on version. You can watch TV programs at anytime, anywhere. An
FM-TV picture*1 from wireless camera*2 can also be
displayed. Great for sporting events, security, or amateur TV without
unpleasant wiring. Also, the IC-R3 offers an A/V output so you can transfer
images to a TV monitor or a recording device.
*1 some versions do not support any of these systems
*2 supplied from third party
Signal strength level indicator
In addition to the current style of signal
strength meters, a signal strength level indicator is adopted. Measures
signal strength levels every 0.3 sec. and shows for up to 3 sec., the signal
conditions within the period. In addition, when a directional antenna is
used, this function helps in searching for signal origin, such as
fox-hunting, etc.
Simple bandscope
Want to analyze signal activity within a band? Spectral activity can be
seen on the TFT color display. The simple band scope becomes a useful tool
for finding new or interfering signals. With the 5 selectable bandwidths,
adjustable to 500 kHz wide will give a quick snapshot of activity.
Super wide frequency coverage__0.495
- 2450 MHz!
Covers from 0.495 to 2450.095 MHz of super wide frequency range*1
with AM, FM, wide-FM and TV picture*2 receive capability as
standard.
*1 some frequency ranges are inhibited with some versions
*2 depending on picture modulation system and version
Long hours monitoring capability
A Lithium Ion battery, BP-206, comes as standard*, for more than 2 times
longer operation than other types of batteries, during full feature
operation. And the adopted external DC IN terminal allows you to operate
with 3.6-6.3 V DC power source, or 12 V DC power source via the optional
CP-18 CIGARETTE LIGHTER CABLE, all day long. In addition, the installed
BP-206 can be charged simultaneously, while 5.5-6.3 V DC (more than 1 A) is
supplied.
*not supplied for some versions
Excellent memory
450 channels* of ample memory are available and stores operating frequency
and mode, as well as tuning step, etc. Up to 6-character memory names can be
assigned for each memory channel and shows on the color LCD, allowing quick
and easy channel selection. The memory channels are divided into 9 banks, 8
banks of 50 (for individual frequencies) and 1 bank of 50 (for frequency
ranges) for simple memory management.
*includes 50 program scan edges
Multi function 'joy-stick' switch
A 4-way action 'joy stick' switch gives you quick and easy access to many
settings, including operating band, AF volume, color LCD settings, and more.
Automatic squelch
The IC-R3 keeps most RF background noise in check by automatically adjusting
the squelch. It's very handy when receiving a weak signal _ no
more continually adjusting the squelch control by hand to block white noise.
Also, the squelch level is manually selectable from open, and level 1 to 9.
