Icom PCR2500 wideband computer receiver

LIMITED STOCK

The Icom PCR2500 wideband computer receiver connects externally to your PC via a USB cable.
This provides compatibility with many computer models, even laptops.
Incredible coverage is yours with reception from 10 kHz to 3300 MHz (less cellular and minor gaps).
See specifications for exact coverage.
Modes of reception include AM, FM-Wide, FM-Narrow, SSB and CW.
(CW and SSB up to 1300 MHz only).
Up to 25 channel activities can be observed on the multi-channel monitor screen at a glance.
According to the S-Meter level, each channel status is visually displayed by three background colors.
When you click a busy channel, you can easily start listening to the selected channel.
Received audio can be stored on the PC with WAV format.
Modes of reception include AM, FM-Wide, FM-Narrow, SSB and CW. (CW and SSB up to .5-1300 MHz only).
Many tuning steps are available: 1Hz, 10Hz, 20Hz, 50Hz, 100Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, 6.25kHz, 8.33kHz, 9kHz, 10kHz, 12.5kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz, 25kHz, 30kHz, 50kHz, 100kHz, 125kHz, 150kHz, 200kHz, 500kHz, 1MHz, 10MHz.
Other refinements include: CTCSS/DCS, pocket beep, IF shift, auto memory write, AFC, AGC, weather alert, 24 digit DTMF tone decoder and up to 2600 memory channels per file.

The PCR2500 has two powerful features, previously only available in high end military receivers.
These two features are dual watch and diversity reception.
With dual watch, the receiver can receive two signals simultaneously.
With diversity reception, two antennas can be connected at the same time and employed to provide very stable reception. (Typically, the two antennas would be separated by distance and/or be of different polarity).
