BASIC RECEIVE FUNCTIONS
■ Receive mode selection
Receive modes are determined by the physical properties of
the radio signals. The receiver has 5 receive modes: USB
LSB, CW, AM, WFM and FM modes. The mode selection is
stored independently in each memory channel.
Additionally, IC-PCR2500 has a DV or P25 mode when the
optional UT-118 or UT-122 units are installed, respectively.
The IC-PCR2500’s Sub band can select AM, FM and WFM
mode only.
Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations
(0.495–1.620 MHz), air band (118–135.995 MHz), and short-
wave broadcasts. WFM is used for FM broadcast stations
(76–107.9 MHz). WFM mode can be selected on 1300 MHz
band or below.
When using zAUTO-Mx (automatic mode), a receive mode,
IF filter passband width, tuning step, etc., are selected
automatically after inputting a frequency. (p. 55)
