Icom IC260-A Instruction Manual page 5

Memory Scan allows you to monitor three different memory channels. Program Scan provides
scanning between two programmed frequencies. Adjustable scanning speed. Auto-stop stops
scanning when a signal is received, in all modes.
DUAL VFO'S
Two separate V FO's can be used either independenty or together for simplex operation, and any
desired frequency split in duplex operation.
CONTINUOUS TUNING SYSTEM
ICOM's new continuous tuning system features an LED display that follows the tuning knob
movement and provides an extermely accurate readout. Frequencies are displayed in 7 LED digits
representing 100Hz digits.
Automatic recycling restarts tuning at the top of the band, ie., 145.999.9MHz when the dial goes
below 144.000.0MHz. Recycling changes 145.999.9MHz to 144.000.0MHz as well. Quick tuning
in 1KHz steps is available, and fine tuning in 100Hz steps in the SSB and CW modes, and 5KHz
steps and 1KHz steps in the FM mode, is provided for trouble free OSO.
(IC-260A : 145.999.9MHz and 144.000.0MHz should be read 148.199.9MHz and 143.800.0M Hz.)
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
The RF amplifier and first mixer circuits using MOS FETs, and other circuits provide excellent
Cross Modulation and Two-Signal Selectivity characteristics. The IC-260A/E has excellent sensi-
tivity demanded especially for mobile operation, high stability, and with Crystal Filters having
high shape factors, exceptional selectivity.
The transmitter uses a balanced mixer in a single conversion system, a band-pass filter and a
high-performance low-pass filter. This system provides distortion-free signals with a minimum
spurious radiation level.
ADDITIONAL CIRCUITS
The ІС-260А/Е has a built-in Noise Blanker, CW Break-in, CW Monitor, APC, and many other
circuits for your convenience.
The ІС-260А/Е has everything you need to really enjoy VHF operation, in an extremely compact,
rugged transceiver.
