IC-R1500.qxd 05.10.21 10:07 AM Page 8 (1,1) New2001 SETTING A FREQUENCY ■ Receive mode selection ■ Lock function Receive modes are determined by the physical properties of the radio signals. The receiver has 6 receive modes: SSB LSB, CW, AM, WFM and FM modes. The mode selection is stored independently in each memory channels. To prevent accidental frequency changes and unnecessary function access, use the lock function. Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations (0.495–1.620 MHz) and air band (118–135.995 MHz), and WFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76–107.9 MHz). • [SET•LOCK] (lock function only), [MONI•T/T•SCAN] (monitor function only), [PWR], [VOL] and [SQL] can be used while the channel lock function is in use. When Automatic mode is selected, IF filter passband width, tuning step, etc., are selected automatically after inputting a frequency.

(p. ??) r Set the receive frequency. (pgs. ??, ??) tWhen receiving a signal on the set frequency, squelch opens and the receiver emits audio. • “BUSY” appears and the S-meter indicator shows the relative signal strength for the received signal.
