[. . . ] Professional Communications Receiver Professional communications receiver with 0. 005 to 3335MHz coverage and high performance spectrum scope The IC-R9500 is a high-end professional communications receiver for wideband monitoring, signal detection, spectrum analysis, recording received signals, and more. Main features ­ · 0. 005­3335MHz wideband coverage · +40dBm 3rd order intercept point and 109dB dynamic range* (*At 14. 1MHz) · Multi-function high performance spectrum scope · ± 0. 05ppm high frequency stability · ± 3dB* accuracy of dBµ /dBµ (emf) /dBm meter (*10 to 70dBµ signal between 100kHz · SSB/CW /AM mode auto tuning function · Optional P25 digital mode reception · Professional grade operation, functionality and build to 3335MHz at 25°C) Dual DSP units provide superb receiver BASIC PERFORMANCE Wideband coverage The IC-R9500 covers 0. 005­3335MHz in SSB, AM, FM (WFM), CW, FSK and P25* modes. It is suitable for a wide variety of radio monitoring and listening activities. * Optional UT-122 digital unit is required. Five roofing filters The IC-R9500 has 5 independent roofing filters (240, 50, 15, 6 and 3kHz) for improved selectivity. [. . . ] In addition to these features, the scope has 3 levels of attenuation (10dB, 20dB, 30dB). * While using the wide band scope function, AF output is muted. · Fixed mode . . . the scope screen does not shift when you change the receiving frequency. · Sweep speed/span/ filter width setting · Peak search function · Peak hold function · Attenuator · Mini scope function Center mode setting example Mini scope function example Fix mode setting example Wide band scope example (±100MHz) Monitor and connection cab Multiple functions and sophisticated oper FUNCTIONS 7-inch wide color TFT LCD The large 7-inch wide (800 × 480 pixels) a c tiv e ma trix displa y deliv er s quick response time, high resolution and has a wide viewing angle. The background color is selectable from black or blue for your preference. In addition, the IC-R9500 has a VGA connector allowing you to connect an external monitor. Two-point manual notch filter The digital manual notch filter has a depth of more than 70dB at two points with adjustable filter width (wide, middle, narrow). This means that two strong beat signals can be eliminated at once even while using the auto notch filter.
