Icom IC-R2 - Frequency and Channel Configuration; Setting Frequencies and Tuning Steps

■ Setting a frequency
q Select VFO mode with [V/M].
w Select the desired band with [BAND].
e Rotate [DIAL] to change the frequency.
•The frequency changes according to the preset tuning steps. See
the right section for selecting the tuning step.
•Rotate [DIAL] while pushing [FUNC] to change the frequency in 1
MHz steps (default; p. 26).
The 1 MHz tuning step (dial select step) can be set to 100
kHz, 1 MHz or 10 MHz tuning steps in set mode. See p. 26
for details.
■ Setting a tuning step
Tuning steps can be selected for each band, however, the tun-
ing step of the broadcast band is fixed to 9 kHz steps except
for U.S.A. and Canada versions. The following are available.
•5 kHz •6.25 kHz •10 kHz •12.5 kHz •15 kHz
•20 kHz •25 kHz •30 kHz •50 kHz •100 kHz
DUsing the [TS] switch
q Select VFO mode with [V/M].
w Select the desired band with
[BAND].
e Push [TS] to enter tuning step set-
ting condition.
r Rotate [DIAL] to select the desired tuning step.
t Push [TS] to return to normal operation.
DUsing set mode
q Select VFO mode with [V/M].
w Select the desired band with [BAND].
e Push [V/M] for 2 sec. to enter set mode.
r Rotate [DIAL] until “STEP” appears.
•“STEP” disappears after 1 sec. and the previously selected tun-
ing step and “tS” appear.
t While pushing [FUNC], rotate [DIAL] to select the desired
