Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing this Icom receiver. The IC-R2500 COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER is designed and built with Icom's state of the art technology and craftsmanship. With proper care, this receiver should provide you with years of troublefree operation. [. . . ] y Repeat steps q to t for transferring or erasing an another bank's contents. After [SET·SKIP] released 32 6 SCAN OPERATION Scan types Scanning searches for signals automatically and makes it easier to locate new stations. There are 5 scan types and 4 resume conditions to suit your operating needs. FULL SCAN (p. 34) 10 kHz Scan Jump 3299. 9999 MHz Repeatedly scans all frequencies over the entire band. Some frequency ranges are not scanned according to the frequency coverage of the receiver's version. Skip channels can be turned ON and OFF by pushing and holding [SET·SKIP] in memory mode. PROGRAMMED SCAN (p. 34) Band edge Scan edges xxA Scan Jump Band xxB edge Repeatedly scans between two user-programmed frequencies. Used for checking for frequencies within a specified range such as repeater output frequencies, etc. MEMORY (SKIP) SCAN (p. 34) SKIP A00 A99 A98 A05 A04 A01 A02 A03 Repeatedly scans all bank channels or selected bank channels. Skip scan is also available. SKIP SKIP FREQUENCY/MEMORY SKIP FUNCTION (p. 36) Band edge Scan SKIP Jump SKIP Band edge Skips unwanted frequencies or channels that inconveniently stop scanning. This function can be turned ON and OFF by pushing and holding [SET·SKIP] in memory mode. 33 SCAN OPERATION 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Scan start/stop D Preparation Scan resume condition (p. IMPORTANT!: To perform memory or bank scan, two or more memory/bank channels MUST be programmed, otherwise the scan will not start. r Push [SET·SKIP] (or [ATT·PRIO]) to select full and programmed scan (P00 to P49), if VFO is selected in step q. About the scanning steps: The selected tuning step in each frequency band (in VFO mode) is used during scan. · During memory scan · During bank scan D Operation qPush [VFO/MR·S. MW] once or twice to select VFO mode for full/programmed scan; or to select memory mode for memory/bank scan. · Select the desired bank in memory type selection mode for bank scan. wSet the squelch level to the point where noise is just muted. to start the scan. · To change the scanning direction, rotate the main band's [DIAL]. · The memory channel readout blinks the scan type as below. · During full scan · During programmed scan Push [SET·SKIP] to select full (ALL) or programmed scan (P00­P49) in sequence. Indicates scan edge channels. · P01 stands for 01A/01B · P00 to P49 are available when they are programmed, and selected with [SET·SKIP]. Indicates bank channel. NOTE: When SSB, CW, AM, FM, WFM or Digital mode frequencies are programmed into memory channels randomly, memory scan is slow because changing modes takes time. In this case, assign the SSB, CW, AM, FM, WFM or Digital mode frequencies into separate banks where bank scan can be used. And using the bank scan is helpful. While pushing and holding [MODE·SCAN], rotate [DIAL] also to select full (ALL) or programmed scan (P00­P49). 34 6 SCAN OPERATION Scan edges programming Scan edges can be programmed in the same manner as memory channels. Scan edges are programmed into scan edges, 0A/0B to 49A/49B, in memory channels. [. . . ] after inputting frequency ranges. D Cloning using a personal computer Data can be cloned to and from a personal computer (Microsoft® Windows® XP/2000/Me/98SE) and other settings can also be programmed from a PC. Consult the IC-PCR1500/ICPCR2500's Instruction manual for cloning details.
