IC-R3
COMMUNICATION RECEIVER
2-inch TFT color LCD built-in! See your information on screen!

Impressive operating status display
Never before has a hand held receiver given you as much information as the IC-R3. Receiving frequency, tuning step, memory channel number, and more are visible on the 2-inch* TFT color display at a glance. In addition, the back ground color is selectable from 8 available colors.
*measured diagonally

TV picture receive capability
Not only can you see your operation status, you can display broadcast visual information. NTSC M, PAL B/G or other television systems are supported*1, depending on version. You can watch TV programs at anytime, anywhere. An FM-TV picture*1 from wireless camera*2 can also be displayed. Great for sporting events, security, or amateur TV without unpleasant wiring. Also, the IC-R3 offers an A/V output so you can transfer images to a TV monitor or a recording device.
*1 some versions do not support any of these systems
*2 supplied from third party

Signal strength level indicator
In addition to the current style of signal strength meters, a signal strength level indicator is adopted. Measures signal strength levels every 0.3 sec. and shows for up to 3 sec., the signal conditions within the period. In addition, when a directional antenna is used, this function helps in searching for signal origin, such as fox-hunting, etc.

Simple bandscope
Want to analyze signal activity within a band? Spectral activity can be seen on the TFT color display. The simple band scope becomes a useful tool for finding new or interfering signals. With the 5 selectable bandwidths, adjustable to 500 kHz wide will give a quick snapshot of activity.

Super wide frequency coverage__0.495 - 2450 MHz!
Covers from 0.495 to 2450.095 MHz of super wide frequency range*1 with AM, FM, wide-FM and TV picture*2 receive capability as standard.
*1 some frequency ranges are inhibited with some versions
*2 depending on picture modulation system and version

Long hours monitoring capability
A Lithium Ion battery, BP-206, comes as standard*, for more than 2 times longer operation than other types of batteries, during full feature operation. And the adopted external DC IN terminal allows you to operate with 3.6-6.3 V DC power source, or 12 V DC power source via the optional CP-18 CIGARETTE LIGHTER CABLE, all day long. In addition, the installed BP-206 can be charged simultaneously, while 5.5-6.3 V DC (more than 1 A) is supplied.
*not supplied for some versions

Excellent memory
450 channels* of ample memory are available and stores operating frequency and mode, as well as tuning step, etc. Up to 6-character memory names can be assigned for each memory channel and shows on the color LCD, allowing quick and easy channel selection. The memory channels are divided into 9 banks, 8 banks of 50 (for individual frequencies) and 1 bank of 50 (for frequency ranges) for simple memory management.
*includes 50 program scan edges

Multi function 'joy-stick' switch
A 4-way action 'joy stick' switch gives you quick and easy access to many settings, including operating band, AF volume, color LCD settings, and more.

Automatic squelch
The IC-R3 keeps most RF background noise in check by automatically adjusting the squelch. It's very handy when receiving a weak signal__no more continually adjusting the squelch control by hand to block white noise. Also, the squelch level is manually selectable from open, and level 1 to 9.

Back ground color variations

Wireless monitor usage example
Hobby use example
Install a wireless camera just about anywhere__like looking down from an airplane, balloon, etc. Watch air pictures as they happen.
Security use example
Use the IC-R3 to monitor areas where security is an issue, indoors or out.
Example of other usage
Use the IC-R3 as a visual baby monitor. Keep an eye on sleeping children while you're in another room or out in the garden.
