This page lists links, related pages and software support for the Icom IC-PCR2500 and IC-R2500 receivers.
 
  
The R2500 is the PCR2500 with control head included. The main improvement over the PCR1500/R1500 is the Dualwatch operation and Diversity operation modes, DV and P25 Digital receive modes (optional).

Thanks to Mark Westin for finding the above links.
 
 
== Modifications ==
 
* [[10.7 MHz IF Output for the 2500]] - Detailed information here on how to tap the 10.7 MHz IF Output for this radio (important for raw signal output applications like a [[Digital Voice Conversion Method]])
 
* [[APCO-25 Reception Above 780 MHz]] - Detailed Information here available on how to remove the diode that blocks PCR2500 Radios from receiving P25 signals with the addon board when frequencies are above 780 MHz.
 
 
==Supporting Software==
 
Currently only Icom's software supports the R2500 and PCR2500 receivers. Hopefully more will follow. This software is NOT available yet for download. A link will be posted when it is. Here are a few screenshots of the Icom software.<BR>
