BASIC OPERATION ■ General Operating the IC-R10 is easy. However, in order to get the most out of its operating potential, please go through the following procedures, step-by-step. Then, try the examples contained at the end of this chapter. 3 ■ Selecting VFO mode 1. Turn power ON 2. Adjust the volume Push [POWER] for 1 sec. to turn power ON. Adjust the audio to a suitable level using [VOL]. • Opening message is displayed for 1 sec.
3 BASIC OPERATION 3. Adjust the squelch 3-1. Adjust the RF gain 4. Select VFO mode Rotate [SQL] maximum counterclockwise, then rotate it clockwise until audio is just muted when receiving no signal for FM, WFM or AM mode. (see right page) Rotate [SQL] maximum counterclockwise, to adjust RF gain to optimum level. When MEMORY mode is selected, push [V/M] to select VFO mode. When SET or TS set mode is selected, push [CLR] to select VFO mode. • The VFO indicator appears.
BASIC OPERATION 3 ■ Selecting a receive mode What are receive modes? Radio signals can be propagated in a variety of ways (or modes). Each mode has its own physical properties that determine to some degree its uses. VFO FM The IC-R10 receives the 6 most common modes: AM, FM, WFM, USB, LSB and CW. When you want to tune a station, you MUST set the receive mode first. The table below shows common uses for each mode. MODE 144.0000 VFO WFM 144.0000 VFO AM 144.0000 VFO LSB 144.
3 BASIC OPERATION ■ Selecting a tuning step What are tuning steps? Tuning steps are the frequency change increments when you rotate the tuning control or operate a scan. The following steps are available: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 6.25, 8, 9, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 100 kHz and user programmable tuning steps (p. 66). It is important to set the proper tuning step for the type of station you want to listen to. Some tuning steps are determined by frequency band or receive mode and others are set by tradition.
BASIC OPERATION 3 ■ Tuning a frequency (via the keypad) When you know the exact frequency you want to listen to, the quickest way to tune it is by direct keypad entry. Remember that the frequency must be between 0.5 MHz and 1300 MHz. The diagram below shows the correlation between the function display frequency digits and the frequency. VFO FM 1 GHz 100 MHz 10 MHz 1 MHz 300.0000 100 Hz 1 kHz 10 kHz 100 kHz 1. Select the frequency 2.
3 BASIC OPERATION ■ Tuning a frequency (via the dial) When you want to listen to frequencies near the displayed frequency, the easiest way to tune them is with the tuning dial. All signals have what is called an “occupied bandwidth.” They will be received as long as the receiver is tuned anywhere within this bandwidth. Even though the frequency received may not be the central frequency, the tuning step should be made as small as possible (0.
BASIC OPERATION ■ Dial select steps Changing the frequency with the dial select step What are dial select steps? When tuning with the dial, if you want to change the frequency faster than the selected tuning step can, use the dial select function. In VFO mode: Push and hold [FUNC], then rotate [DIAL]. A dial select step is an increment of frequency change much like a tuning step is.
3 BASIC OPERATION ■ Band scope function What is the band scope function? The band scope detects signal availability in the range of ±5 channels (up to ±100 kHz) from the displayed frequency, and displays the result on the multi function dot-matrix display. This gives you a visual reference of current band conditions. In this case, channel refers to sweep step or channel space according to the set tuning step.
BASIC OPERATION 3 Set band scope function q While pushing [FUNC], push [(1)BSCOPE]. VFO FM 144.0000 signal strength lower freq. higher freq. displayed freq. Repeat the above step or push [CLR] to turn OFF the band scope function.
3 BASIC OPERATION ■ Listening example 1 — television broadcast in WFM mode 1. Turn power ON 5. Select the receive mode 6. Select the tuning step Push [POWER] for 1 sec. to turn power ON. Television sound is broadcast in WFM mode. If the receiver is not already in WFM mode: In most countries* television stations are spaced about 50 kHz apart. To select the 50 kHz tuning step: Push [MODE] one or more times until WFM appears in the function display.
BASIC OPERATION (Example 59.75 MHz) 3 (Example 59.25 MHz) 7. Tune the station 7-1. Tune the station 8. Use the tuning dial Use the keypad to enter the frequency — (example 59.75 MHz). Enter the frequency from the 100 kHz digit when you want to change below the 1 MHz digit only — (example from 59.75 MHz to 59.25 MHz). Rotate [DIAL] to search for nearby stations above and below the tuned frequency. [Example] VFO WFM 5 WFM . 9 59 . VFO WFM . 59.2000 [Example] VFO [DIAL] 59. VFO WFM 59.
3 BASIC OPERATION ■ Listening example 2 — airband broadcast in AM mode 1. Turn power ON 5. Select the receive mode 6. Select the tuning step Push [POWER] for 1 sec. to turn power ON. Airband communications are in AM mode. If the receiver is not already in AM mode: Tuning steps for the airband are usually 25 kHz*. To set the 25 kHz tuning step: Push the [MODE] switch one or more times until AM appears in the function display.
BASIC OPERATION 3 (Example 118.00 MHz) (Example 118.925 MHz) 7. Tune the station 7-1. Tune the station 8. Use the tuning dial Enter a frequency of 118.0000 MHz* using the keypad (p. 14). Enter the frequency from the 100 kHz digit when you want to change below the 1 MHz digit only — (example from 118 MHz to 118.925 MHz). Rotate [DIAL] to search for nearby stations above and below the tuned frequency. 1 VFO AM 1 . VFO AM VFO AM 118. 118 118.9000 8 ENT VFO AM 118.
4 MEMORY MODE ■ General What is memory mode? MEMORY mode is the second operating mode—the first being VFO mode. MEMORY mode is used to store oftenused frequencies, their receive modes, attenuator settings (p. 65), as well as skip information for scanning (p. 56). This provides convenient recall and scanning capabilities. Also, frequencies are receivable in MEMORY mode which means you can listen to received signals while you are in MEMORY mode. The IC-R10 has 1000 memory channels for your convenience.
MEMORY MODE 4 ■ Selecting a BANK and memory channel Selecting a BANK channel Selecting a memory channel—1 Selecting a memory channel—2 When your desired memory channel is not stored or you do not want to store a frequency in the displayed BANK, you must change the BANK number. If you want to recall a memory channel which has been memorized, this is the easiest way. If you remember the memory channel number you want to recall, this is the fastest way to recall it. Rotate [DIAL].
4 MEMORY MODE ■ Programming a memory channel — 1 This is the quickest way to memorize a received frequency, along with its receive mode and other information. When you memorize the frequency in this way, the previously memorized data is replaced with the new data.

5 SCANNING OPERATION ■ General FULL SCAN Scan types The IC-R10 has 2 major scan types: PROGRAMMED SCAN and MEMORY SCAN. These, in turn, can be subdivided into 3 variations of each, making a total of 6 scan operations. Additional scanning functions are available to “fine tune” scanning operation. 0.5 MHz 1300 MHz The following diagrams illustrate the operation of each scan type. Step-by-step instructions on how and when to use each scan type follow these diagrams.

5 SCANNING OPERATION ■ Skip function Two skip functions are available as follows: 1. Program skip function Used with full, program and auto-memory write scans, this function allows you to skip specified frequencies stored in BANK R (skip function must be ON for these channels). 2. Memory skip function Used with memory, BANK and mode select scans, this function allows you to skip specified memory channels. These are activated when PROGRAM SKIP or MEMORY SKIP is turned ON in set mode (p. 59).
SCANNING OPERATION ■ SIGNAVI function The SIGNAVI function activates while paused during full, program or automemory write scans in FM mode. It searches for busy frequencies up to 100 kHz* (+100 kHz when scanning up, –100 kHz when scanning down) from the paused frequency (f0), then jumps to the next busy frequency (f1) detected (by SIGNAVI) when scan resumes. 5 1. Set SIGNAVI function 2. Select scan type and start scanning q Push [V/M] to select VFO mode (p. 11).
6 PRIORITY WATCH ■ General VFO FREQUENCY WATCH What is priority watch? Priority watch checks for signals on a priority frequency while listening to another frequency or, while searching one or more frequencies or memory channels. While listening to a VFO frequency, priority watch checks for signals on the priority frequency every 5 sec. When receiving a signal on the priority channel, priority watch pauses for 5 sec.
PRIORITY WATCH 6 FULL SCAN WATCH/PROGRAM SCAN/AUTO-MEMORY WRITE SCAN WATCH While scanning the full frequency range or a programmed frequency range, priority watch checks for signals on the priority frequency every 5 sec. • When the skip function is ON, skips specified frequencies. • The priority frequency is never programmed into BANK Q even if a signal is received on the priority frequency when auto-memory write scan is selected.

10 OTHER FUNCTIONS ■ Low battery indicator ■ AFC function The low battery indicator activates when the installed batteries fall to a specified voltage level. The receiver emits beeps and displays “LOW BATTERY” to inform you that battery capacity is low. Beeps sound once every 10 sec. and are synchronized with the beep setting in SET mode (p. 60). The AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) function tunes the displayed frequency automatically when an off-center frequency is received.
OTHER FUNCTIONS 10 ■ Monitor function ■ Lock function The monitor function releases the squelch or VSC mute momentarily when very weak signals are received without having to re-adjust the squelch manually. The lock function is available so that you can listen to one frequency continuously and not worry about accidentally changing it or activating an undesired function.
10 OTHER FUNCTIONS ■ ATT function ■ NB/ANL function The ATT (attenuator) function protects desired signals from distorting when excessively strong signals, such as broadcast, pager signals, etc. are nearby. This setting can be memorized into memory channels. The NB (noise blanker) function removes pulse-type noise when USB, LSB or CW is selected. The ANL (automatic noise limiter) function reduces noise components when AM is selected.
OTHER FUNCTIONS 10 ■ Sleep timer function* ■ User TS setting The sleep timer activates after a specified time elapses, automatically turning the receiver power OFF. The user programmable tuning step allows you to set optimum tuning steps for specific channel spacing using the [DIAL]. Set sleep timer q While pushing [FUNC], push [(3)SLEEP] one or more times to set the sleep timer condition. w Release [FUNC] to set the selected condition.
10 OTHER FUNCTIONS ■ Memory search function The memory search function searches memory channels using channel names. This is useful for recalling memory channels when you forget their channel number. Enter memory search mode q Push [V/M] to select MEMORY mode (p. 23). w While pushing [FUNC], push [(EASY)SEARCH]. FUNC + SEARCH EASY MEMO FM Enter memory channel names Enter memory channel names via the keypad or [DIAL].
OTHER FUNCTIONS Searching Selecting a memory channel Push [SCAN] to start memory channel search. Push [ENT] to select a memory channel. 10 • Only the first one or two characters are needed to start a search. Smaller channel numbers are displayed first in cases where two or more channels start with the same characters. • Push [SCAN] again to display the next candidate in a search. MEMO FM NAME SEARCH F01:EMER. MEMO FM NAME SEARCH F01:EMER. when matching channel is found ENT MEMO AM F01 121.
10 OTHER FUNCTIONS ■ Auto mode and TS function The auto receive mode select and auto tuning step select functions are optionally available. This function can be set up and modified by programming from a computer using the optional CS-R10 CLONING SOFTWARE. Some versions may be pre-programmed. The auto tuning step and receive mode select functions can be set up by dividing the operatable frequency range into up to 15 bands. For details contact your nearest dealer or local distributor.
OTHER FUNCTIONS 10 ■ Resetting the CPU There are 2 ways to reset the CPU as follows: PARTIAL RESET: When you want to initialize the operating conditions (VFO frequency, VFO settings, SET mode contents) without clearing the memory, program scan, EASY mode and auto TS/mode settings, a partial reset function is available for the receiver. ALL RESET: Use this option when the CPU malfunctions. CAUTION: Resetting the CPU returns all programmed contents to their default settings.
10 OTHER FUNCTIONS ■ Data cloning The IC-R10 has receiver-to-receiver data cloning capability. This function is useful when you want to copy all of the programmed contents from one IC-R10 to another. An optional OPC-474 CLONING CABLE is required. Set cloning mode and start cloning q Turn power OFF. w While pushing [V/M], push [POWER] for 1 sec. to enter cloning mode. e Connect an optional OPC-474 between both [SP] jacks.
