IC-R15 Multifunctional Wideband Receiver | 76 – 500 MHz, AM, FM, WFM

The IC-R15 is a multifunctional wideband receiver designed for both beginners and enthusiasts. It covers a frequency range of 88 MHz to 500 MHz, allowing you to receive signals from a variety of sources, including aviation, railway, marine, and amateur radio broadcasting in AM, FM, and WFM modes. The IC-R15 features a dual-watch function that enables simultaneous reception of two signals, so you never miss important transmissions. With its large, easy-to-read color LCD and intuitive graphical icon menu, operating the IC-R15 is smooth and straightforward.

Built with IPX7 waterproofing and durable construction, the IC-R15 is ready for outdoor use in any environment. It also includes a built-in recording function that saves received audio to a microSD card, complete with frequency, mode, and time stamps. The high-speed scanning capability of 150 channels per second ensures quick signal capture, while the Voice Squelch Control (VSC) helps filter out unwanted noise, allowing you to focus on voice communications. With a USB Type-C™ terminal for easy charging, the IC-R15 is a versatile and reliable tool for all your radio signal needs.
