ICOM IC-R15 Scanning Receiver - New Product Announcement

[@otrdriver6767]

Those of us in South Portland Maine Thank you for your time. I have shared this with my fellow radio enthusiast.

[@watersstanton]

Nice to hear from you. 73 Peter

[@Scotscan]

If Icom could produce a 'fastscanner' scanner i.e. redesign an Airspy R2 in a rugged case and have icoms brilliant performance It would sell like hot cakes

[@richardsage3139]

Next will be a digital version

[@CptnKremmen]

It's a shame that Icom didn't include HF. Okay keeping it analogue makes some sense, but why exclude HF voice?

[@casybond]

No SSB then?

[@BuShMaStEr0810]

Hello. Starts de Scan in 76 or 108 MHz ? In the Specs on Icom Germany and other Sellers, de Start of Scanrange says 108 MHz ? But great Video thanks 👍😎

[@Ross13ful]

Thanks for the video yes icom is Great also uniden announced 2 new scanners coming with dmr and nxdn included no need to pay for the upgrade

[@thedayofevil]

Cost?

[@brianwilliams8620]

I hope there will be digital formats on it I own the icom icr 30 excellent scanner pitty theres no dmr on it otherwise its back to the future on scanning which will not go down well with a lot of icom fans

[@TonyLing]

Starts at 76 MHz, no digital modes? I guess we will see when we have more info.

SWL contest 2023 is start

[@billmillar8148]

[@richardsage3139]

I agree no ssb or digital modes useless

[@JesseJames-wj8ft]

Not useless for air/train enthusiasts

[@darrylyoung1121]

thanks

[@rolandlemmers6462]

Waiting for a successor for the IC-R20 / IC-R30. This isn't it.

[@darrylyoung1121]

IC-R30 in the lead.

[@rogers8472]

Looking at the specs. The ic r30 dwarfs it in every way. It's a pointless piece of equipment. They should of replaced the ic r 30

[@watersstanton]

Not even released yet ! maybe wait until it exists.

[@rogers8472]

@@watersstanton I understand what your saying. But it's a step backwards for ICOM. Discontinuing the R30. Then releasing a radio that has no digital modes at all. No HF coverage. I mean even the UK coastguard are doing trials with NXDN and dpmr. I see no place for this radio at all

[@UKRedSnow]

Have to agree, £450 for a limited frequency range, no DMR, no NXDN, no dPMR and no HF. Redeeming features are the screen, water resistance, recording and the dual receive (dualwatch), but that price! Perhaps it'll do something special that I'm not aware of yet 🤷🤞🏻

[@ArmchairWatchmaker]

​ @rogers8472 As far as I heard, they stopped producing the R30 because a third-party manufacturer stopped producing some key component, either a CPU or something like that. Also, I don’t really understand why R15 is needed when R6 is being produced in parallel.
