HamRadio 2007, Receiver IC-R9500

[twirlingchair]

i listen to mysterious universe and adventures in odyssey on this

[w9x7cv3vg6]

these guys who can afford this don't know about simpler units that can receive the ham bands lol and they all must be oil barons

[thallium200]

For $15k and no trunking ability? How about apco-25? It would look much better in black or gray. Im sure the Government doesnt mind the 15,000 dollar pricetag since they will be the only ones buying this toy

@thallium200 dude, it's NOT a scanner! It's a communications receiver, a whole differenet animal. With this you can pull in faint signals all over the world. Uniden and RS scanners are for local police/fire and other service listening.

[thallium200]

@gtc1961 Maybe you could point out where I said it was a scanner. My PCR-2500 is MUCH more cost effective, more portable and has about 95% of the same features. Yes I know all you "Experts" that don't own any communications equipment are going to respond after you have to go and read the specs. Don't bother they will all be deleted before even read.

[gtc1961]

@thallium200 I beleive you said "it has no trunking ability" which is exactly what scanners do. These types of receivers (I have a JRC NRD 545 and an ICOM R75) do not follow call groups or any of the new digital technologies, they're more for simplex shortwave listening. I had an option on my JRC receiver to include the higher frequencies and it was awful. These just don't do that well. I supposed one that did both wold be great, but it's not here yet.

15.000.00$  for THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

F##K THAT got to be i joke.

the icom guys must be on dope.

Fisher-Price is right.can't even decode a trunked system.bring back the icr-8500

[noisyDX]

@196712345 You dont know what your are talking about. The R9500 is Communications Receiver not a scanner. If you need to listen a trunked system go buy a scanner a RS for 300$.

[flash178]

For +$15,000.00 the color is crap. It might work really well. But $15,000. heck it can't even decode a Motorola trunked system. LOL

[pspbarry]

you have to make it stick out from the rest but the price wow fss the price

[sophiegromit]

This is one SICK receiver!!! That cheesy white color has to go though. It looks almost like a toy with that Fisher-Price white color!!!

[FreePoland]

This one was made in israel in one of their kibutz BUAHAHAHAH

[alexcanadair]

O_O l'icom quel modello se non sbaglio costa 11.000 euro e non scherzo e il migliore in assoluto!!! 5++++

[TISHINA100]

наша военная техникуа лучше , пиздота американская , сссp  the best

[breehound]

I would think having a piece like this would warrant a video more than ten

second long. You think?

[Dreamlgider]

Agree.

[jhf714]

ITs the IC-R9500 i have one

[maciejwrotek]

u dont want to transmit ?

[gsxer13]

It's a Icom R-9500 some say it is the best shortwave receiver that you can buy. Also at $13,500 it better be and I want one real bad!!

[hrbear]

I think it is an ICOM and it is the top and very expensive model.

[ZZZTESTZZZ]

Ohh they make radios like this...believe that.

[PupuTheClown]

Kenwood ?

[SaintSkyler]

Am I correct in assuming that this thing pics up everything between 5 KHz and 3335 MHz? That is it will receive on the VLF, LF, MF, HF, VHF, UHF, and the beginings of the SHF Parts of the Radio Spectrum? That's Damn near the whole thing isn't it? I thought they didn't make Radios Like this.?

[ermiggiu]

è un sogno troppo bello :-)

[alexcanadair]

quel icom costa quanto una fiat punto multijet circa 12.000 euro il miglior apparato

[robkb1fjr]

Only 15,000 USD

[quiteobserver]

can You tell me what the hell people do with such a stuff????????? i mean, what special functions it has???

[hrbear]

It is for HAM radio amateurs. You may receive signals or stations which are located too far, with sensitivity and accuracy. Say you live in America, you can receive a ham from Australia, and when this ham station you want to receive has low transmitting power, your receiver has to be sensitive to receive the signal. There are other functions such as how many signals are in a specific band, so you may interested to listen to, or memory for the stations.

[quiteobserver]

thanks for response - You got any ideas how much does it cost??

[OK2BCK]

it has got the ptt function
