COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER

The 100 Ch/Sec Wideband
SigSignal “Search Machine”
100 kHz–1309.995 MHz* wideband coverage
While the IC-R6 receives an ultra wideband frequency
range, the radio provides superior sensitivity andreceiver characteristics that is insusceptible tointerference. Amateur stations, AM, FM, short wave
broadcasts, TV audio* and a variety of utility
communications can be caught and listened to.
* Frequency range depends on version. Analog TV audio
only. Cannot decode digital TV audio.

100 channels per second high speed scan
The IC-R6 has 100 channels per second high speed
scan capability*. This superior scanning power allows
the utmost efficiency when searching over 1300MHz ofspectrum! * VFO mode scanning.

15 hours of continuous receive capability*
The IC-R6 is energy-efficient, designed to provide many
hours of listening enjoyment on a single charge. With the
supplied rechargeable Ni-MH cells (1400 mAh ×2), theIC-R6 provides up to 15 hours of continuous receivecapability*. * At 50 mW output using external speaker.

1300 memory channels with 22 memory banks
With 1300 alphanumeric memory channels, 50 scanedges and 200 auto write memories, the IC-R6 gives
you flexible scanning. Use the bank link scan feature
to choose from and connect any of the 22 memorybanks.

VSC (Voice Squelch Control)
The VSC opens the squelch only when a modulated
signal is detected and ignores unmodulated beatnoise. It is a handy feature for those listeners who arescanning for talk, news and music, but not data bursts
or beacons.

Multiple power choices
The IC-R6 can be powered by rechargeable Ni-MHcells, or with alkaline batteries. Run the IC-R6 usingthe AC adapter, or opt for a cigarette lighter cable,
CP-18A/E. When used the optional drop-in charger
stand BC-194 with the AC adapter or cigarette lightercable, you can easily start charging the Ni-MH cells,
while eliminating the need to connect the powersource to the DC power jack of the receiver.
