The ICOM R-20 all-mode wide frequency range handheld receiver is loaded with
innovative features!
GENERAL FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
- Wideband coverage - The IC-R20 covers 150kHz to 3304.999MHz, 3 GHz! wide
band reception in SSB, CW, AM, FM and WFM modes. Covers AM/FM radio and TV broadcasts,
wireless communications for boaters, aviation, conventional public safety and
many other commercial services. (no breaks in coverage)
- 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, such as 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.
- Spectrum Display - IC-R20 includes a band scope. The bandscope enables you
to see signals around a monitored frequency. The band scope function can be
set to sweep between of 1 - 100 kHz. 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.
- Dualwatch mode - Before the IC-R20, monitoring two frequencies required two
handheld 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!
- CTCSS, DTCS tone signaling - The two popular signaling formats, CTCSS and
DTCS are standard in the IC-R20. Tone scan is also possible.
- Noise Blanker, ANL, AF filter and AFC Functions The noise blanker works on
SSB/CW and ANL for AM. The adjustable RF gain control has 11 settings. These
functions are rare in a handheld receiver and virtually unheard of in a scanner.
- 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.)
- Fast Scanning - The IC-R20 is Icom's fastest receiver with 100 channels per
second scanning speed.
- Versatile Memory Management - 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.
- 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. Memory is partitioned in 26 banks (A-Z) which each bank able
to hold a dynamic number of channels up to a maximum of 100. Each channel also
supports an alpha-tag up to 8 characters in length.
- 1250 memory channels (1000 regular, 50 scan edges and 200 auto memory write)
- Tuning steps : 0.01, 0.1, 5, 6.25, 8.33*, 9*, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50,
