■ Spectrum scope screen
This DSP-based spectrum scope allows you to display
the conditions on the selected band, as well as relative
strengths of signals. The IC-R9500 has two modes for
the spectrum indication— one is center mode, and anther one is fixed mode.
In addition, the IC-R9500 has a mini-scope screen to
save screen space.

■ Preamplifier
The preamp amplifies received signals in the receiver

this to preamp 1 or preamp 2 when receiving weak signals.

✔ 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 receiver 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).
During 1150–3335 MHz (ANT2) operation, either the
preamplifier or attenuator is activate exclusively.
■ 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 attenuator or attenuator OFF.
[ATT]
• During HF bands operation, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 dB are

constant: fast, mid, slow) for non-FM/WFM or P25

■ 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 frequency graphically.
➥ Push and hold [FILTER] for 1 sec. to enter the filter
set screen. Current passband width and shift frequency is displayed in the filter set screen.
➥ To set the [TWIN PBT] controls to the center positions, push and hold [PBT CLR] for 1 sec.
[TWIN PBT] for lower [TWIN PBT] for higher
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.
[PBT CLEAR]
• [TWIN PBT] should normally be set to the center positions (PBT setting is cleared) when there is no interference.
• 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

■ Preparation
• Channels
For programmed scan:
Program scan edge frequencies into scan edge memory 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 memory 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 speed
Scan speed can be adjusted by [SPEED] controller.
See p. 8-18 for details.
• Squelch condition
SCAN
STARTS
WITH
PROGRAMMED
SCAN
The scan continues
until it is stopped
SQUELCH manually, and does
OPEN
not pause even if it
detects signals.
MEMORY SCAN
Scan pauses on
each channel when
the scan resume is
ON; not applicable
when OFF.
Scan stops when a signal is detected.
If you set ‘SCAN RESUME’ to ‘DELAY,’ the
SQUELCH scan pauses according to [DELAY] control
CLOSED when detecting a signal, then resumes.
• 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 setting and scan resume condition details.
When a signal disappears while scan is
paused, scan resumes 2–20 sec. later.
■ Voice squelch control function
This function is useful when you don’t want unmodulated 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 components does not change within 1 sec., scan resumes.
➥ While a phone mode (FM, WFM, SSB, AM) is selected, push [VSC] to switch the VSC (Voice
Squelch Control) function ON and OFF.
[VSC]
• “VSC” appears when the function is activated.
• The VSC function activates for any scan.
• The VSC function resumes the scan on unmodulated signals, regardless of whether the scan resume condition is set to ON or OFF.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
■ Voice synthesizer operation
The IC-R9500 has a built-in voice synthesizer to announce the frequency, mode, etc. (S-meter level can
also be announced—p. 11-10) in clear, electronicallygenerated voice, in English (or Japanese).
➥ Push [SPCH] to announce the currently selected
frequency, etc.
• Push [SPCH] for 1 sec. to additionally announce the selected mode.
➥ Pushing a mode switch also announces the appropriate mode. (p. 11-11)
The output level of the voice synthesizer can be adjusted in level set mode. (p. 11-6)
[SPCH]
■ 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.
D Dial lock function
The dial lock function prevents frequency changes by
accidental movement of the tuning dial. The lock function electronically locks the dial.
[LOCK] indicator
➥ Push [LOCK] to toggle the dial lock function ON or
OFF.
• The [LOCK] indicator lights orange when the dial lock
function is in use.
[LOCK]
D Panel lock function
To prevent accidental frequency changes and unnecessary function access, use the panel lock function.
This function is also available with display sleep mode
[PANEL LOCK] indicator
➥ Push [PANEL LOCK] to toggle the panel lock function ON or OFF.
• The [PANEL LOCK] indicator lights green when the
panel lock function is in use.
➥ Push and hold [PANEL LOCK] for 1 sec. to turn the
panel lock with display sleep function ON.
[PANEL LOCK]
• Pushing [PANEL LOCK] turns OFF the function.
• The [PANEL LOCK] indicator lights green and the display turns OFF when the sleep function is in use.
9-2
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 antenna. When you change the operating frequency beyond a band, the previously used antenna is automatically selected (see left) for the new band. This function
allows automatic switching of 3 separate antennas for
HF bands operation.
HF ANT3
1150~3335MHz帯 30~1150MHz帯 HF ANT2 HF ANT1
After an antenna has been selected for use (by pushing [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.
IC-R9500
• Antenna selection
➥ Push [ANT] to select the antenna from “ANT HF 1,”
“ANT HF 2” and “ANT HF 3.”
[ANT]
• 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] connector.
• When it’s ON, “★” appears. Then the receiver output
13.8 V/100 mA max. from [ANT SEL] connector.
