IC-R9500
The IC-R9500 can turn the dial click function ON and
OFF. And the auto dial click setting is also available in
the others set mode (p. 11-12).
➥ Push and hold [1/4] for 1 sec. to turn the dial click
function ON and OFF manually.
• "CLICK" appears.
The IC-R9500 has 3 antenna connectors for bands
below 30 MHz which are [HF ANT1], [HF ANT2] and
[ANT1/HF ANT3]. And antenna control voltage is also
output from [ANT SEL] connector for using external
preamplifier or antenna selector.
For each operating band the IC-R9500 covers, there
is a band memory which can memorize a selected an-
tenna. When you change the operating frequency be-
yond a band, the previously used antenna is automat-
ically selected (see left) for the new band. This function
allows automatic switching of 3 separate antennas for
HF bands operation.
After an antenna has been selected for use (by push-
ing [ANT]), the antenna is automatically selected
whenever that band is used.
[EXAMPLE]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to
[HF ANT1], a 14/18 MHz antenna is connected to [HF
ANT2], a 24/28 MHz antenna is connected to [HF
ANT3]. After each antenna is selected, an antenna is
automatically selected when changing bands.
➥ Push [ANT] to select the antenna from "ANT HF 1,"
"ANT HF 2" and "ANT HF 3."
• The antenna indicator turns ON when other than default
antenna (ANT1) is selected.
➥ Push and hold [ANT] for 1 sec to turn the antenna
control voltage ON and OFF from [ANT SEL] con-
nector.
• When it's ON, "★" appears. Then the receiver output
13.8 V/100 mA max. from [ANT SEL] connector.
