ICOM IC-R3

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. * measured diagonally

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*, depending on version. You can watch TV program at any time, anywhere. An FM-TV picture* from wireless camera** 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. * Some versions do not support any of these systems. ** 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 0.495-245.095 MHz of super wide frequency range

* with AM, FM, wide-FM and TV picture

** receive capability as standard.

* Some frequency ranges are inhibited with some versions.

** 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 externel 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 cabl, 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 memories.

450 channels* of ample memory are available and stores operating frequency and mode, as well as tuning step, etc. Up 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.

Tone squelch features.

•A tone squelch system is built in to provide quiet standby. The tone squelch includes the following functions.
•Pocket beep function: Lets you know when a specified station’s signal is received with an alerting beep.
•Tone scan function: Searching which tone is used for a repeater, private communications, etc. 
•Built in attenuator.
•A built in 4 step RF attenuator protects a signal from extremely strong interference from near by signals, etc.
