■Preamplifier
The preamp amplifies received signals in the receiver
front end, to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity. Set
this to preamp 1 or preamp 2 when receiving weak sig-
nals.
➥Push [P.AMP] several times to set the preamp OFF,
preamp 1 ON or preamp 2 ON.
✔
About the “P.AMP2”
The “P.AMP 2” is a high gain receive amplifier. When
the “P.AMP 2” is used when strong signal are present,
distortion sometimes results. If this occurs, use the re-
ceiver with the “P.AMP 1” or “P.AMP OFF” setting.
The “P.AMP 2” is most effective when:
• Used on bands above 24 MHz and when signals are
weak.
• Receive sensitivity is insufficient during low gain, or
while using a narrow band antenna (such as small
loop, a Beverage antenna or a short Yagi antenna).
■Attenuator
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from being
distorted by a very strong signals are near the desired
frequency or when very strong electric fields, such as
from broadcasting stations, are near your location.
➥Push [ATT] several times to select the desired at-
tenuator or attenuator OFF.
• During HF bands operation, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 dB are
available.
• During 30–1150 MHz operation, 10, 20, 30 dB are available.
• During 1150–3335 MHz operation, only 20 dB is avail-
able.
➥Push and hold [ATT] for 1 sec. to turn OFF the at-
tenuator, when it’s ON.

■Twin PBT operation
PBT (Passband Tuning) electronically narrows the IF
passband width by shifting the IF frequency slightly
outside of the IF filter passband, rejecting interference.
The IC-R9500 uses DSP for the PBT function. Moving
both [TWIN PBT] controls to the same position shifts
the IF.
➥The LCD shows the passband width and shift fre-
quency graphically.
➥Push and hold [FILTER] for 1 sec. to enter the filter
set screen. Current passband width and shift fre-
quency is displayed in the filter set screen.
➥To set the [TWIN PBT] controls to the center posi-
tions, push and hold [PBT CLR] for 1 sec.
The variable range depends on the passband width
and mode. The edge of the variable range is half of the
passband width, and PBT is adjustable in 25 or 50 Hz
steps.
• [TWIN PBT] should normally be set to the center posi-
tions (PBT setting is cleared) when there is no interfer-
ence.
• When PBT is used, the audio tone may be changed.
• Not available for FM/WFM or P25 mode.
• While rotating [TWIN PBT], noise may occur. This comes
from the DSP unit and does not indicate an equipment
malfunction.

• Channels
For programmed scan:
Program scan edge frequencies into scan edge mem-
ory channels PxA and PxB.
For
∂
F scan:
Set the ∂F span (∂F scan range) in the scan screen.
For memory scan:
Program 2 or more memory channels except scan
edge memory channels.
For select memory scan:
Designate 2 or more memory channels as select mem-
ory channels. To designate the channel as a select
memory channel, choose a memory channel, then
push [F-3•SELECT] in the scan screen (memory
mode) or in the memory list screen.
• Scan resume ON/OFF
You can select the scan to resume or cancel when a
signal is detected. Scan resume ON/OFF must be set
before activating a scan. See p. 8-17 for ON/OFF set-
ting and scan resume condition details.
• Scan speed
Scan speed can be adjusted by [SPEED] controller.

Scan stops when a signal is detected.
If you set ‘SCAN RESUME’ to ‘DELAY,’ the
scan pauses according to [DELAY] control
when detecting a signal, then resumes.
When a signal disappears while scan is
paused, scan resumes 2–20 sec. later.
The scan continues
until it is stopped
manually, and does
not pause even if it
detects signals.
Scan pauses on
each channel when
the scan resume is
ON; not applicable
when OFF.

■Voice squelch control function
This function is useful when you don’t want unmodu-
lated signals pausing or cancelling a scan. When the
voice squelch control function is activated, the receiver
checks received signals for voice components.
If a receiver signal includes voice components, and the
tone of the voice components changes within 1 sec.,
scan pauses (or stops). If the received signal includes
no voice components or the tone of the voice compo-
nents does not change within 1 sec., scan resumes.
➥While a phone mode (FM, WFM, SSB, AM) is se-
lected, push [VSC] to switch the VSC (Voice
Squelch Control) function ON and OFF.
• “VSC” appears when the function is activated.
• The VSC function activates for any scan.
• The VSC function resumes the scan on unmodu-
lated signals, regardless of whether the scan re-
sume condition is set to ON or OFF.

■Voice synthesizer operation
The IC-R9500 has a built-in voice synthesizer to an-
nounce the frequency, mode, etc. (S-meter level can
also be announced—p. 11-10) in clear, electronically-
generated voice, in English (or Japanese).
➥Push [SPCH] to announce the currently selected
frequency, etc.
• Push [SPCH] for 1 sec. to additionally announce the se-
lected mode.
➥Pushing a mode switch also announces the appro-
priate mode. (p. 11-11)
The output level of the voice synthesizer can be ad-
justed in level set mode. (p. 11-6)
■Lock function
The IC-R9500 has two kinds of lock functions: dial lock
and panel lock. The dial lock function locks only the
main dial, and panel lock function locks all front panel
operation.
DDial lock function
The dial lock function prevents frequency changes by
accidental movement of the tuning dial. The lock func-
tion electronically locks the dial.
➥Push [LOCK] to toggle the dial lock function ON or
OFF.
• The [LOCK] indicator lights orange when the dial lock
function is in use.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
■Dial click function
The IC-R9500 can turn the dial click function ON and
OFF. And the auto dial click setting is also available in
the others set mode (p. 11-12).
➥Push and hold [1/4] for 1 sec. to turn the dial click
function ON and OFF manually.
• “CLICK” appears.
[1/4]
■Antenna selection
The IC-R9500 has 3 antenna connectors for bands
below 30 MHz which are [HF ANT1], [HF ANT2] and
[ANT1/HF ANT3]. And antenna control voltage is also
output from [ANT SEL] connector for using external
preamplifier or antenna selector.
For each operating band the IC-R9500 covers, there
is a band memory which can memorize a selected an-
tenna. When you change the operating frequency be-
yond a band, the previously used antenna is automat-
ically selected (see left) for the new band. This function
allows automatic switching of 3 separate antennas for
HF bands operation.
After an antenna has been selected for use (by push-
ing [ANT]), the antenna is automatically selected
whenever that band is used.
[EXAMPLE]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to
[HF ANT1], a 14/18 MHz antenna is connected to [HF
ANT2], a 24/28 MHz antenna is connected to [HF
ANT3]. After each antenna is selected, an antenna is
automatically selected when changing bands.
• Antenna selection
➥Push [ANT] to select the antenna from “ANT HF 1,”
“ANT HF 2” and “ANT HF 3.”
• The antenna indicator turns ON when other than default
antenna (ANT1) is selected.
➥Push and hold [ANT] for 1 sec to turn the antenna
control voltage ON and OFF from [ANT SEL] con-
nector.
• When it’s ON, “★” appears. Then the receiver output
13.8 V/100 mA max. from [ANT SEL] connector.
