( Backordered item, delivery within 9 days )

100 channels per second wideband signal "search engine"

100 kHz-1309.995MHz scanning range

Although the IC-R6 scanner can scan a very wide frequency range, its receiver provides excellent sensitivity and other receiver features. You will be able to scan amateur radio frequencies, commercial frequencies, AM, FM, shortwave frequencies, TV, and other broadcast frequencies.

100 channels per second high-speed scanning

The IC-R6 scans 100 channels per second at high speed. This is the highest scanning speed with the highest efficiency in searching across the entire 1300 MHz spectrum.

15 hours of continuous operation

The IC-R6 is energy-efficient, designed to scan for many hours on a single charge. With rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (1400mAh × 2), the IC-R6 can operate for up to 15 hours of continuous operation.

1300 Memory Channels with 22 Memory Banks

With 1300 alphanumeric memory channels, 50 scan sections and 200 auto channel stores, the IC-R6 gives you flexibility when scanning frequencies. Use the "Bank link" function to select or link any of the 22 memory banks.

VSC (Voice Squelch Control)

VSC only opens when a modulated signal is present and ignores noise. This is a convenient feature for listeners who are looking for talk, news and music rather than data traffic or beacons.

Multiple Power Options

The IC-R6 can be powered by rechargeable Ni-MH batteries or alkaline batteries. The IC-R6 can also be powered by an external power supply CP-18A/E.
