In this regard, the use of the headset cable as an antenna aid proves positive - already for reasons related to the discretion in using the receiver - but does not increase performance significantly. Useful is the availability of 8.333 KHz step, a requirement that will become increasingly important for an accurate tuning on the VHF aeronautical service transmissions.
IC R6 REVIEW PORTABLE
The sensitivity on some frequency bands is really excellent, certainly at the top levels in this class of portable devices, but it is not maintained in any way constant on these values within the tuning range where the receiver is mainly used. This is not a defect, since it is a project choice with a natural purpose to create a compact receiver.
In general, if you want to make repeated movements in frequency and / or settings, the keyboard shows some limits. The availability of only a few buttons for the commands in practice does not determine difficulties in use, but this depends on the individual user and the typical methods of listening. Undoubtedly, the IC-R6 meets the requirements of those looking for a versatile but essential scanner, aimed at listening to broadcasters and PMR.
IC R6 REVIEW SOFTWARE
The receiver allows control from a PC via the optional CI-V interface, the CS-R6 software allows the cloning of the contents of the memories (frequency, name, category, group name, settings) from computers with Windows 2000 / XP / Vista or Win7 operating system. Other features: priority channel control with audible warning, automatic squelch and squelch monitor, RF attenuator, fast tuning, automatic LCD display illumination for night operations. The power-save function or the automatic shut-off with an adjustable timer from 30 minutes to 2 hours can also be activated to protect the batteries. The receiver with the supplied Ni-MH rechargeable batteries can provide approximately 15 hours of continuous reception. Besides the flexible antenna, a ferrite antenna is incorporated to improve the reception of the medium waves, as an auxiliary antenna for the aeronautical band and broadcasting of 87.5~136 MHz it is also possible to use the cable of an optional headset. The VSC function is included to unlock the squelch in the presence of a modulated carrier. With the pocket-beep option you are warned with an acoustic signal when a transmission uses the chosen tone. The tone-scan function instead reveals the frequency of the tone used on a specific channel. This simplifies the monitoring of, for example, a particular repeater or station. The recognition of the CTCSS and DTCS tones allows a stand-by reception while waiting for a signal with the correct tone. Multiple search options: between band limits, within memories, on priority channel, based on subaudio tones, with auto-memory write. In addition, 200 locations are dedicated to the automatic recording function, during a search the active channels are recorded to keep track of the frequencies in use.
Each memory, bank or scan limit can be identified with up to 6 alphanumeric characters. It has 1300 memory locations that can be divided into 22 banks, there can be up to 100 locations per bank with the number that can be set according to the user's choices. The ICOM IC-R6 is a compact, triple conversion, scanner for listening in AM and FM modes only with a high search speed of up to 100 channels / second. 0.495 ~ 1310 MHz specifications guaranteed.Ideated in Japan, year of introduction 2010.ĥ / 6.25 / 8.333 / 9 / 10 / 12.5 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 50 / 100 / 200 KHzĦ5 mA squelch ON, battery save function OFFģ0 mA squelch ON, battery save function ONĥ8 (W) x 86 (H) x 29.8 (D) mm, without antenna Pocket-size scanner, receiving frequency range 0.1-1310 MHz in AM and FM mode.
