REC and REC remote terminals for tape recorder control and for recording received signals.Also, there are 20 scan edge memory channels to store 10 sets of frequencies for programmed scan plus 1 priority channel for priority scan.

Alphanumeric names can be assigned to the channels (up to 8 characters) and banks (up to 5 characters) for easy recognition. The IC-R8500 has 800 memory channels divid-ed into 20 banks (40 channels each), plus an auto memory write area of 100 channels and a skip area of the 100 channels. The APF adjusts the peak frequency of the received audio, particularly in CW mode. The IF shift function works efficiently to reject interference from nearby signals, especially in SSB mode. The VSC (voice scan control) provides efficient scanning by skipping unmodulated signals. A variable tuning system, which is employed in the front-end tuning circuit, improves multi-signal characteristics, ensuring enhanced receiving performance.īasic scanning, memory, priority and program scans are available, and for more advanced needs, select scans can also be selected. The IC-R8500 has superior high receive sensi-tivity over its entire range and the built-in, high quality crystal (TCXO) provides good frequency stability of less than 100Hz below 30MHz less than 3ppm above 30MHz. The IC-R8500 covers a wide frequency range continuously from 0.1 to 1999.99999MHz* with 10Hz resolution. Various modes are supported for listening to not only amateur bands, FM or TV Broadcast stations, but also marine and avionics.
