ject 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.

COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER

FOREWORD

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely

before using the receiver.

SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This in-

struction manual contains important operating instructions for

the IC-R2.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

The explicit deﬁnitions below apply to this instruction manual.

CAUTIONS

RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a head-

set or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing

experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If

you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level

or discontinue use.

AVOID using or placing the receiver in direct sunlight or in

areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above

+60°C (+140°F).

Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current still

ﬂows in the circuits. Remove batteries from the receiver when

not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed batteries

will become exhausted.

For U.S.A. only

CAUTION: Changes or modiﬁcations to this device, not ex-

pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to

operate this device under FCC regulations.

WORD

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

DEFINITION

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric

shock may occur.

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk

of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

Equipment damage may occur.

Versions of the IC-R2 which display “CE” on the serial number

seal, comply with the essential requirements of the 89/336/EEC

directive for Electromagnetic Compatibility.

r Ni-Cd charger (BC-127A/D) and 2 Ni-Cd batteries ..1 set*

*Not supplied with some versions.

OPERATING THEORY

Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of 20,000

Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF) energy

because it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-R2 re-

ceives RF energy from 0.495 MHz* to 1309.995 MHz and

converts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn ac-

tuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy is in

the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.

*kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbrevia-

tion of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of fre-

quency.

OPERATING NOTES

The IC-R2 may receive its own oscillated frequency, resulting

in no reception or only noise reception, on some frequencies.

The IC-R2 may receive interference from extremely strong

signals on different frequencies or when using an external

high-gain antenna.

BASIC OPERATION

■ Receive mode selection

Receive modes are determined by the physical properties of

the radio signals.The receiver has 3 receive modes: FM, AM

and WFM modes. The mode selection is stored independently

in each band and memory channels.

Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations

(0.495–1.620 MHz) and air band (118–135.995 MHz), and

WFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76–107.9 MHz).

noise is just muted. (p. 10)

e Select the desired scan range, if desired.

➥Select scan edges in scan edge set mode:

“ALL” for full scan, “BAND” for band scan or “PROG 0”–

“PROG24” for programmed scan. (see the next page)

r Push [FUNC] + [Y] or [Z] momentarily to start the scan.

selects the tone squelch function when a scan starts.

t To stop the scan, push [FUNC] + [Y] or [Z] again.

If the same frequencies are programmed into a pair of

scan edges, programmed scan does not start.

For programmed scan, scan edges must be programmed

in advance. Program scan edges in the same manner of

programming a memory channel and select a scan edge.

SUBAUDIBLE TONE OPERATION

■ Pocket beep operation

This function uses subaudible tones for calling and can be

used as a “common pager” to inform you that someone has

called using the same tone in an amateur band while you

were away from the receiver.

D Waiting for a call from a speciﬁc station

q Set the operating frequency.

w Set the desired tone squelch tone in expanded set mode.

•See the previous page for programming information.

e Push [V/M] for 2 sec. to enter expanded set mode.

r Rotate [DIAL] until “TSQL” appears.

•Turn the expanded set mode ON for selection. (p. 25)

•“TSQL” disappears after 1 sec. and “tO” appears.

t While pushing [FUNC], rotate [DIAL] to select “P BEEP.”

y Push [V/M] to exit set mode and start the pocket beep.

•“TSQL ë” appears in the function display.

u When a signal with the correct tone is received, the re-

ceiver emits beep tones for 30 sec. and ﬂashes “ë.”

i Push [V/M] to stop the beeps and ﬂashing.

•Tone squelch is automatically selected.

The receiver has 50 tone frequencies and consequently

their spacing is narrow compared with units having 38

tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may receive in-

terference from adjacent tone frequencies.

■ Tone scan

The receiver can detect the subaudible tone frequency in a

received signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmit-

ted on a frequency, you can check the tone frequency re-

quired to access the repeater or to open the tone squelch.

q Set the desired frequency or memory channel to be

checked for a tone frequency.

w Push [FUNC] + [Y] or [Z] for 2 sec. to start the tone scan.

•To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].

e When the tone frequency is decoded, the set mode con-

tents are programmed with the tone frequency.

•The tone scan pauses when a tone frequency is detected.

•The decoded tone frequency is used for the tone squelch fre-

quency.

•“Ct” appears during tone scan.

r Push [FUNC] + [Y] or [Z] to stop the scan.

“Ct” appears during

tone scan.

Tone frequencies

flash as they are

scanned.

DUPLEX OPERATION

Duplex communication uses 2 different frequencies for trans-

mitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in communi-

cation through a repeater, some utility communications, etc.

During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency is

shifted from the receive station frequency by the offset fre-

quency. Repeater information (offset frequency and shift di-

rection) can be programmed into memory channels. (p. 12)

This function is not available in the broadcast band (0.495

–1.620 MHz) except for U.S.A. and Canada versions.

q Set the receive station frequency (repeater output fre-

quency).

w Set the shift direction and offset of the transmit station fre-

quency as described below.

e Push and hold [SQL] to monitor the transmit station fre-

quency (repeater input frequency) directly.

D Duplex shift direction

q Push [V/M] for 2 sec. to enter expanded set mode.

w Rotate [DIAL] until “DUP” appears.

•Turn the expanded set mode ON for

selection. (p. 25)

•“DUP” disappears after 1 sec. and

“dP” appears.

e While pushing [FUNC], rotate

[DIAL] to select “–DUP” or “+DUP.”

•“–DUP” or “+DUP” indicates the transmit station frequency for

minus shift or plus shift, respectively.

r Push [V/M] to exit set mode.

DOffset frequency

During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency is

shifted from the receive station frequency by an amount de-

termined by the offset frequency.

q Select VFO mode or desired memory channel to be pro-

grammed.

w Push [V/M] for 2 sec. to enter expanded set mode.

e Rotate [DIAL] until “OFFSET” appears.

•Turn the expanded set mode ON for selection. (p. 25)

•“OFFSET” disappears after 1 sec. and “OW” appears.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

■ Set mode

Set mode is used for programming infrequently changed val-

ues or conditions of functions.

In addition, this receiver has an expanded set mode which is

used for programming additional infrequently changed values

or conditions of functions. When turning OFF the expanded

set mode, only a quarter of the set mode items are displayed

for simpler operation.
