FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing this Icom receiver. The IC-R2500
COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER
is designed and built with Icom’s
state of the art technology and craftsmanship. With proper
care, this receiver should provide you with years of trouble-
free operation.
We want to take a couple of moments of your time to thank
you for making the IC-R2500 your radio of choice, and hope
you agree with Icom’s philosophy of “technology first.” Many
hours of research and development went into the design of
your IC-R2500.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the receiver via the
OPC-254L to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or re-
sult in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver while dri-
ving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention— any-
thing less may result in an accident.
NEVER connect the receiver to a power source of more
than 14 V DC. This will damage the receiver.
NEVER connect the receiver to a power source using re-
verse polarity. This will damage the receiver.
NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and
fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting,
the receiver may be damaged.
DO NOT leave the main unit powered ON and connected
to a vehicle’s electrical system. The main unit draws approx.
550 mA. This will eventually drain the vehicle’s battery.
NEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
The receiver may be damaged.
NEVER operate or touch the receiver with wet hands. This
may result in an electric shock or damage the receiver.
NEVER place the receiver where normal operation of the
vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan
on the rear panel.
AVOID using or placing the receiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
BE CAREFUL! The receiver will become hot when op-
erating it continuously for long periods.
AVOID setting the receiver in a place without adequate
ventilation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the receiver
may be damaged.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the receiver’s sur-
faces.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this device under FCC regulations.

➥ Push [PWR• ] for 1 sec. to turn power ON and OFF.
D MAIN band
The IC-R2500 can receive signals on both the left and right
bands simultaneously.
➥ Push the desired band’s [MAIN•AGC] or [MAIN•NB] to se-
lect the main band.
•“Q” indicates the main band.
D VFO and memory modes
The receiver has 2 basic operating modes: VFO mode and
memory mode
. Select VFO mode first to set an operating fre-
quency.
➥ Push the desired band’s [VFO/MR•S.MW] to select VFO
mode.

■ Tuning step selection
When using the tuning dial to change the frequency, or when
a scan function is activated, the frequency changes in incre-
ments determined by the set tuning step. This can be
changed if desired.
The following tuning step are available.
• 0.01 kHz (10 Hz) • 0.02 kHz (20 Hz) • 0.05 kHz (50 Hz)
• 0.1 kHz (100 Hz) • 0.5 kHz (500 Hz) • 1 kHz
• 2.5 kHz • 5 kHz • 6.25 kHz
• 8.33 kHz • 9 kHz • 10 kHz
• 12.5 kHz • 15 kHz • 20 kHz
• 25 kHz • 30 kHz • 50 kHz
• 100 kHz • 125 kHz • 150 kHz
• 200 kHz • 500 kHz • 1000 kHz (1 MHz)
q Push the desired band’s [MAIN] to select the main band.
• Push the same band’s [VFO/MR•S.MW] to select VFO mode, if
necessary.

ePush [MHz•TS] to return to the normal display.
■ Receive mode selection
Receive modes are determined by the physical properties of
the radio signals. The receiver has 6 receive modes: USB
LSB, CW, AM, WFM and FM modes. The mode selection is
stored independently in each memory channel.
Additionally, IC-R2500 has a DV or P25 mode when the op-
tional UT-118 or UT-122 units are installed, respectively. In
DV or P25 mode, the right band can select AM, FM and WFM
mode only.
Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations
(0.495–1.620 MHz), air band (118–135.995 MHz), and short-
wave broadcasts. WFM is used for FM broadcast stations
(76–107.9 MHz). WFM mode can be selected on 1300 MHz
band or below.
qPush [MODE•SCAN] to enter receive mode select mode

■ Receiving
qSet the audio level for the main band.
➥ Push the desired band’s [MAIN].
➥ Push [MONI•T/T-SCAN] to open the squelch.
➥ Rotate the main band’s [VOL] to adjust the audio level.
➥ Push [MONI•T/T-SCAN] to close the squelch.
wSet the squelch level.
➥ Rotate the main band’s [SQL] fully counterclockwise in
advance, then rotate [SQL] clockwise until the noise
just disappears.
eSet the operating frequency in the main band. (pgs. 11–13)
• When interference due to strong signals is received, push
[ATT•PRIO] to turn the attenuator function ON. (p. 15)
rWhen a signal is received on the set frequency, squelch
opens and the receiver emits audio.
• “BUSY” appears and the S-meter shows the relative signal
strength for the received signal.
■ Monitor function
This function is used to listen to weak signals without disturb-
ing the squelch setting or to open the squelch manually even
when mute functions such as the tone squelch are in use.
➥ After pushing [MAIN] to select the desired band (left or
right) as the main band, push [MONI•T/T-SCAN] for 1 sec.
to open the squelch.
• “BUSY” blinks.
• Push [MONI•T/T-SCAN] again to cancel the function.
[MONI•T/T-SCAN]

■ Lock function
To prevent accidental frequency changes and unintentional
function access, use the lock function.
➥ Continue to hold [PWR• ] down for 2 sec. after power
ON to turn the lock function ON and OFF.
• [MONI•T/T-SCAN] (monitor function only), [VOL], [SQL],
[MAIN•AGC] (main band selection only) and [MAIN•NB] (main
band selection only) can be used while the lock function is in
use.
■ Attenuator function
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from being distorted
when very strong signals are near the desired frequency or
when very strong RF fields, such as from a broadcasting sta-
tion, are near your location. The attenuator reduces signal
strength by about 20 dB and this function can be activated on
1300 MHz or below.
➥ Push [ATT•PRIO] momentarily to toggle the attenuator
function ON and OFF.
• Push [MAIN] to select the desired band (left or right) as the main
band in advance.

BASIC OPERATION
Duplex communication uses two different frequencies for
transmitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in com-
munication through a repeater, some utility communications,
etc.
During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency is
shifted from the receive station frequency by the offset fre-
quency. Repeater information (offset frequency and shift di-
rection) can be programmed into memory channels. (p. 24)

Single band/Dualwatch operation
Dualwatch operation monitors two frequencies simultane-
ously. The IC-R2500 has two independent receiver circuits:
left band, and right band
(available frequencies, operating mode
and functions are different depending on bands).
Single band operation is useful when only one frequency is
being watched. The right band can be inhibited.

Diversity operation
The diversity receiving compares the receiving signal strength
from two different antennas, ANT1 and ANT2, and automati-
cally selects the strongest signal. This feature is useful when
you are listening in a moving vehicle or the transmitting sta-
