OPERATING THEORY

Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of 20,000 Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF) energy because it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-R10 receives RF energy from 0.5 MHz to 1300 MHz* and converts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn actuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy is in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.
*kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbreviation of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of frequency.

VFO indicator

VFO FM
What is squelch? A squelch circuit allows you to mute undesired noise while receiving no signal and emit audio while receiving signals. This provides quiet standby. The [MONI] switch changes the squelch setting. This is useful for weak signal reception (p. 64). 11
What is RF gain? RF gain controls receive sensitivity gainreduce the gain when you dont want to receive very weak signals or when excessively strong interfering signals are being received, etc.

I 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.
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 rst. The table below shows common uses for each mode.

I 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. Generally speaking, if you set a tuning step smaller than that needed you will still be able to tune a station you want (or scan it), however, tuning (or scanning) will not be efcient. On the other hand, if you select a tuning step which is too large, you may not be able to nd the station you are looking for. Consult local listings. 13

MEMORY MODE

I Selecting MEMORY mode

Select MEMORY mode
Push [V/M] to select MEMORY mode.
MEMO appears in the function display. Push [V/M] again to return to VFO mode.
What is memory mode? MEMORY mode is the second operating modethe 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. They are divided into 18 banks: BANKS A to P contain 50 channels each for normal usage, while BANKS Q and R contain 100 channels each for auto-memory write scan (p. 41) and program skip scan (p. 45), respectively. Each BANK and memory channel has BANK or memory name capabilities, for convenience. BANK names can be up to 10 characters; channel names up to 8 characters. Programmed contents and names can be easily copied to other channels using the memory copy function (p. 33) and easily edited using the EDIT function (p. 51).

I Before scanning

Set the following conditions before scanning.

1. Set receive mode

Set any receive mode EXCEPT USB, LSB and CW.
2. Set the volume and squelch levels
Set [VOL] to a suitable audio output level. Set [SQL] so that the noise audio is just muted.
INFORMATION What happens when you rotate the tuning dial during scanning? While scanning Scanning direction is changed. Example: If you rotate [DIAL] counterclockwise while scanning up (frequency/memory channel number increase), scan changes to down scanning (frequency/memory channel number decrease). While pausing Scanning starts again (pause is cancelled).
The squelch control activates for RF gain control while USB, LSB, or CW mode is selected. RF gain control does not activate for audio noise muting, therefore, the receiver is in a busy condition at all times. In such case, searching speed is either very slow or searching doesnt even start.

Set the VSC

Set the VSC ON if necessary. While pushing [FUNC], push [(2)VSC] (VSC indicator appears).

Set the scan delay

Set the scan delay. While pushing [FUNC], push [(CLR)SET], then push [EDIT] one or more times until SCAN DELAY appears (p. 62). Rotate [DIAL] to set the scan delay time.
Push [CLR] to return to VFO or MEMORY mode.
While pushing [FUNC], push [(2)VSC) to turn OFF the VSC (VSC indicator disappears). What is VSC? The VSC (Voice Scanning Control) pauses a scan only when modulated signals are received. Scanning continues when unmodulated or beat signals are received.
What is scan delay? Scan delay affects scan pausing as follows: 5SEC: scan automatically resumes 5 sec. after pausing 10SEC: scan automatically resumes 10 sec. after pausing PAUSE: scan automatically resumes 2 sec. after a received signal disappears 38

I Full scan

This is the simplest scanning operation, searching the full frequency range (0.51300 MHz) in the selected receive mode and tuning step.

PRIORITY WATCH

VFO FREQUENCY WATCH

While listening to a VFO frequency, priority watch checks for signals on the priority frequency every 5 sec.
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. When receiving a signal on the priority channel, priority watch pauses for 5 sec. This function is useful when you want to monitor for a signal that appears infrequently. In this case, you can wait for the signal while listening to another signal on a different frequency.

MEMORY CHANNEL WATCH

Types of priority watch There are two basic priority watches: VFO FREQUENCY WATCH and MEMORY CHANNEL WATCH. Also, the priority watch can be activated in conjunction with a scanning function, thereby making a total of 8 priority watch operations. The following diagrams illustrate the operation of each priority watch type. While listening to a selected memory channel, priority watch checks for signals on the priority frequency every 5 sec.
When the selected memory channel is masked (blank), the the watch does not start. SKIP memory channels can be selected.
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 specied 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.
MEMORY SCAN/BANK SCAN/MODE SELECT SCAN WATCH
While scanning all or selected memory channels, priority watch checks for signals on the priority frequency every 5 sec.
When the skip function is ON, skips specied memory channels. When the selected BANK or receive mode is not memorized, priority watch does not start.

SET MODE

Set mode ow chart

What is SET mode? SET mode is accessed from VFO, MEMORY or EASY mode and allows you to modify certain receiver conditions to suit your operating requirements. Adjusting these settings to your own individual preferences allows you to customize the receivers operating parameters to suit your operating style. If you are not sure what effect changing a particular condition will have on the receivers performanceexperiment with different settings. Dont worry, there is no way you can damage the receiver by altering these settings. There are 11 conditions which can be modied in SET mode.
