HTML clipboard * * * POWERFUL RADIO SCANNER - WIDE BAND COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER * * * It began with the R1 ... the first wideband receiver to fit in your pocket. The R2 offered further refinement and now we have the state-of-the-art ICOM IC-R5. Again at only 2.3"x3.4"x1.13" (58x86x27 mm) it is absolutely packed with features. And it is big on coverage, tuning from 150 kHz to 1309.995 MHz (less cellular and gaps) in these modes: AM, FM Narrow and FM wide. The triple conversion circuit provides amazing sensitivity for the size. It has 1200 alphanumeric memories storing: frequency, mode, step size, duplex direction and offset, CTCSS tone, tone squelch and skip settings. The R5 supports six types of scanning Both automatic and manual Squelch are supported and CTCSS/DTCS decode is built in! Other features include: attenuator, LCD lamp, auto power off (30/60/90/120 mins.), battery save and battery low indicator. A built in ferrite bar antenna improves AM band (MW) performance. There are several power saving functions including backlit LCD timer. * * * ICOM IC-R5 - MADE IN JAPAN THIS IS VIDEO OF SCANNER YOU WILL GET! * * * The IC-R5 helps you stay out of Mother Nature's way with weather radio function. When the National Weather Service issues a severe weather bulletin over the selected weather channel, the 'R5 emits an audio alert, then stays on that channel for the relay of pertinent information. Operation of the 'R5 is possible from a wide variety of power sources with the external DC port and Icom's use of 2 AA-size batteries. Whether dry cell, alkaline or the newer rechargeable batteries, the R5 will give you hours of operation. The external DC jack also provides a power source and acts as a charger for AA NiCad-type batteries. You may listen to the radio as it is charging. * * * STORE DEMO MODEL. NEW CONDITION!

I had reservations about programming/operating a radio that has a minimal keypad but the R5 was easy to program, even without software. It's also easy to operate. The audio is very good for such a small speaker, very impressive. I'm using the stock rubber duck antenna, a collapsible 9-section Radio Shack antenna, and a roof-mounted discone and reception is very good on all bands tried out so far, regardless of which antenna it's hooked up to. I had it at work with me overnight and was listening to several of the pre-programmed SW stations. What impressed me was that the radio room I dispatch from is in the basement of the building and I was using the stock rubber duck antenna! I'm also surrounded by 5 computers in very close proximity to where the R5 was sitting. I'm also glad Icom included CTCSS/DCS in the R5. * * * TJust bought this radio in JAN / 2010 - Radio is Great! I've used it for about 20 hours so far. Things I suggest; -Replacing the stock antenna if you listen to specific bands. -Rechargeable batteries. -Computer cable for the memory banks. Pro's -Very easy to use once you figure it out. -Tiny, tiny tiny! Awesome! -TV channels are program in! -FM/WFM/AM channels sound great. -Only takes 2 AA alcalines and it runs for 10-20+ hours no problem!!!! * * * The main feature of this radio is the compact size. It has everything one would need in a scanner. It can be taken anywhere with no difficulty. The layout of the controls is a bit confusing and will take some getting used to. Adding memory channels and setting up scanning ranges is challenging. This may be in light of the size and limited number of available buttons. The quality of audio is good. If an very small compact package is what you are looking for the R5 is an excellent choice! * * * A Great Emergency Radio. Listen in to everything going on. With just "Two" AA Batteries, you've got many days of service. Got mine for Christmas. A beautiful little Reciever. Last year I bought a used Icom Q7A Dual bander (same size as the R-5) and I take it with me everywhere. It too is a great monitor. But now, Icom has discontinued the Q7A. I believe that they may also soon discontinue the R-5, can't prove it, just a feeling. Once gone, they will become a rare item. The R-5 is absolutely a fun little reciever. It even has "ALL" of the T.V. channels AUDIO programmed into it. Just dial-up the channel, and listen to the program, even when driving, lots of fun. Weather, Short-Wave, Ham, Police, Marine, FM Broadcast, AM Broadcast .....what more could you want in such a small package. A good investment for $255. * * * I have used a Uniden BC100XLT, Bearcat BC350A, BCT7, and various others, and have to admit, while this one is not as fast, it is by far the best I have used. I have seen better "scanners", but this is not intended to be a scanner. I have seen more sensitive receivers, and some with better audio, but not in a handheld that runs off AA batteries. On the whole, this is a fantastic little receiver that goes with me everywhere and performs beautifully. I purchased mine used (but still in mint condition with the box and charger) at a local pawn shop for $195. I had to replace the rechargeable, since the originals had been long lost. Best thing I could have done was purchase two NiMH 2300mAh AA's for $5. I don't know how long the batteries will last between charges, simply because I've never even seen the battery level indicator decrease since running off the NiMH (my guess would be >40 hours, continuous usage). Turning off the backlight increases battery life even longer. I find the stock antenna to be adequate, performing even better than some longer whips, throughout the receive capabilities of the IC-R5. I like having an alphanumeric display. I find myself wishing for a keypad for direct frequency entry, but that's my only reservation. I have not tried using the programming software yet, but I assume it will help speed up the process and intend to obtain it soon.! * * * This is a follow up to my first review. I now have a lot more mileage on the rig. Still think it is a super radio for its size/cost/ease of use. I would suggest purchase of the PC interface/software to make the programing effort a bit easier. Also, I dumped the original batteries (not that they were bad) and now use NiMh 2300mAH units, helps with play time. When I am out in the RV, I now use the R5 instead of my FT817 for SWL as it is smaller and way easy to use. Skip purchase of matching headphones, go to "the Shack" and get a stero to mono adapter and use a quality pair of buds, much nicer. I now have this at work to listen to Am and Fm b'cast stations and even sitting next to the PC, I have no problems. Bottom line: Nice rig, all band, good performance, super size. Have fun.. icon smile ICOM IC R5  WIDE RECEIVER RADIO SCANNER R5 AM FM  WFM + * * * I bought this radio to keep at work, so I can monitor other law enforcement agencies around me. Fits in my shirt pocket, has nice audio! Once you get used to it, it's not that hard to use without software. * * * For its purpose this is a great little buy and extremely versatile. The software is excellent and you can either purchase a USB or serial interface. Highly recommend it. * * * Email us with any questions!
