The IC-PCR1500 computer-controlled receiver is the long awaited successor to the IC-PCR1000. It is designed for receiver enthusiasts and professional users. Covering 0.01 to 3299.999MHz in AM, FM & WFM modes (0.495- 1300MHz in SSB and CW modes), this new receiver features versatile functions including a multi-channel monitor, bandscope and IF shift function to provide efficient reception for the user.
When used with the Kinetic SBS-1 Virtual Radar you watch and listen to the aircraft you are tracking.

• PC Controlled Wideband Receiver
  The IC-PCR1500 is a PC controlled receiver and all functions are controllable from mouse click or keyboard input. It covers 0.01–3299.999MHz* in AM, FM & WFM (0.495–1300MHz only in SSB and CW modes). 1Hz fine tuning resolution is available in all bands.
• USB cable connection
  A USB cable is supplied for PC to receiver connection. This provides higher data transmission speed and allows you to transfer the received audio to the connected PC through the USB cable. It also allows you to hear or record the sound on your PC.
• Unlimited number of memory channels
  Memory channels are stored in your PC’s hard disk or other storage devices which means that the number of memories are only limited by your remaining memory space.
• 3 selectable interface screens
  To make operating easy the IC-PCR1500 has three interactive computer screens: “Compact” screen, “Component-style” screen and “Communications receiver” screen.
  •The first is a “Compact” screen, a simplified screen that is small enough to run alongside other applications. Replicating a piece of hi-fi equipment, this displays basic information such as frequency, whilst still providing immediate access to the important controls including volume and 5 quick access memory buttons.
  •The second is a “component-style” screen which is divided into 4 sections; “Tuning”, “Mode/Volume”, “Meter/Scan” and “Scope Panel”. This screen is suitable for users who are already familiar with a full-function communications receiver.
  •The third is a multifunctional screen that gives control of all functions and looks similar to an advanced communication receiver.
• Multi channel monitor function
  This function allows you to observe the status of up to 25 channels on the screen at a glance. According to the S-meter level, channel activities are indicated by three background colours on the screen. When you click a channel button on the screen, you can easily start listening to the selected channel.
• Two types of bandscope
  The IC-PCR1500 has two types of bandscope function, allowing you to easily observe the band condition within a specified bandwidth (25kHz to 5MHz) or a specified time period (3 to 100 minutes) and AF output* is emitted while sweeping the range. When you find a signal you want to listen to, click the waveform in the band scope screen and the receiving frequency moves to the clicked frequency. In addition, the band scope sweep data can be stored on the PC. When setting the bandscope range between 500kHz and 5MHz, AF output is not emitted. * AF output is not emitted in CW, SSB mode.
• High speed scanning
  High speed scanning of up to 60 channels per second The IC-PCR1500 has a maximum high speed scanning capability of 60 channels per second*. This scanning power provides the utmost efficiency when searching a wide frequency range. Auto memory write scan searches for a signal. When a signal is detected, the received frequency is automatically stored into an auto memory write channel bank.
