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

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.
