59 10 SET MODE D D CI-V address To distinguish equipment, each CI-V transceiver/receiver has its own Icom standard address in hexadecimal code. The IC- R20’s address is “6C.” When 2 or more IC-R20s are connected to an optional CT-17CI-VLEVEL CONVERTOR , set a different address for each IC- R20 in the range “01” to “7F.” (default: 6C) D D CI-V baud rateSets the data transfer rate. When “AUTO” is selected, baud rate is automatically set according to the connected controller or other Icom CI-V radio. (default: AUTO) D D CI-V transceiveCI-V transceive operation is possible with the IC-R20 con- nected to an Icom CI-V radio. When “ON” is selected, chang- ing the frequency, operating mode, etc. on the IC-R20 automatically changes those of connected radios and vice versa.

60 11 OTHER FUNCTIONS ■Antenna selectionThe IC-R20 has an internal bar antenna installed for receiving AM broadcast band (0.495–1.620 MHz; differ according to version) signals. In addition, the connected earphone’s cable can be used as an antenna for receiving FM broadcast band(76.000–107.995 MHz; differ according to version) signals. D D Selecting antennaqPush [8 SET]for 1 sec. to enter set mode. wRotate [R-DIAL]to select “AM ANTENNA” or “FM AN- TENNA” for AM broadcast band or FM broadcast band, re- spectively.eAfter pushing [8 SET], rotate [R-DIAL]to select “BAR” when “AM ANTENNA” is selected for the AM broadcast band; select “EARPHONE” when “FM ANTENNA” is se- lected for the FM broadcast band. rPush [DUALWATCH]to exit set mode. NOTES: •Some noise or spurious may be received when the inter- nal bar or earphone cable is used for antenna. •The supplied or third party’s antenna MUST BEcon- nected to the antenna connector to receive signals other than AM or FM broadcast bands. •When receiving an AM broadcast signal with internal bar antenna, aim the receiver to better audio direction. •When the internal bar or earphone cable is used for an antenna, the attenuator function cannot be used. >BAR -EXT ---------------- AM-ANTENNA >EARPHONE -EXT ---------------- FM-ANTENNA Bar antenna selection for 0.495–1.620 MHz bandEarphone cable selection for 76.000–107.995 MHz band ***-SET-MODE-*** -BAR >EXT ----------------AM-ANTENNA -SET-EXPAND -FM-ANTENNA >AM-ANTENNA -AF-FILTER -ANL -NOISE-BLANKER ---------------- [R-DIAL]DUALWATCHSET8 1011

When the weather alert function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is moni- tored each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert signal is detected, the “ALT” and the “WX” indications are displayed alternately and sounds a beep tone until the receiver is oper- ated. The previously selected (used) weather channel is checked periodically during standby or while scanning. qSelect the desired weather channel. wTurn the weather alert function ON in set mode. ➥Push [8 SET]for 1 sec. to enter set mode. ➥Rotate [R-DIAL]to select “WX ALERT,” then push [8 SET].

Also cloning opera- tion is required initial setup for your receiver’s version.
63 11 OTHER FUNCTIONS DCloning error NOTE: DO NOTpush any key on the receiver during cloning. This will cause a cloning error. When the display appears as below, a cloning error has oc- curred. In such a case, the receiver automatically performs ALL RESET while turning power OFF and ON. ■Auto power-off functionThe IC-R20 can be set to automatically turn OFF after a spec- ified period in which no operation is performed. BUSY, 120 min., 90 min., 60 min., 30 min. and OFF can be specified. The specified period is retained even when the re- ceiver is turned OFF by the auto power-off function.

66 11 OTHER FUNCTIONS 11 • Automatic recordingThe IC-R20 has an automatic recording function. When this function is activated, the receiver will record automatically when a receiving signal appears and pause when the signal disappears. This function is very useful when you want to store an uncontinuous signal. qPush [REC]for 1 sec. to enter the recording set mode. wRotate [R-DIAL]to select “REC REMOTE,” then push [REC]. eRotate [R-DIAL]to select the setting, then push [REC]. rPush [DUALWATCH]to exit the recording set mode. tPush [REC]to activate. NOTE: Before using this function, verify the squelch set- ting as close level when no signal is received. Otherwise this function will not pause even when signal disappears. • Erasing recorded audio NOTE: The IC recorder can erase all the tracks at the same time, but cannot erase each track independently. Only using the optional CS-R20 CLONING SOFTWARE can store the recorded audio into a PC or erase independently. qPush [REC]for 1 sec. to enter the recording set mode. wRotate [R-DIAL]to select “ALL DELETE,” then push [REC]. eRotate [R-DIAL]to select “YES” if you want to delete all tracks, then push [REC]. •After deleting, the receiver returns to normal operating mode.NOTE: The optional CS-R20 can perform the storing the recorded contents into PC, erasing them independently or editing their information. The CS-R20 cannot playback the stored contents on the PC. The recorded contents can be played back on the IC-R20 only.*****-REC--***** -REC-REMOTE -QUALITY >ALL-DELETE ----------------ALL-DELETE >YES -NO ---------------- VOL√MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM REC 145 780 PSKIP -DUP√MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM REC 145 780 PSKIP -DUP√MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM STOP 145 780 PSKIP -DUP√MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM STOP 145 780 PSKIP -DUP TRACK:06 TRACK:01 NORMAL --------------- 0:00:32/0:12:14 x1.00 ---------------VOLTRACK:01 NORMAL --------------- 0:00:30/0:12:14 x1.00 ---------------8 1VOLTRACK:01 NORMAL --------------- 0:00:30/0:12:14 x1.00 ---------------8 1 √MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM 145 780 PSKIP -DUP *****-REC--***** >REC-REMOTE -QUALITY -ALL-DELETE ----------------REC-REMOTE >ON -OFF ---------------- VOL√MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM REC 145 780 PSKIP -DUP√MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM REC 145 780 PSKIP -DUP√MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM STOP 145 780 PSKIP -DUP√MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM STOP 145 780 PSKIP -DUP TRACK:06 TRACK:01 NORMAL --------------- 0:00:32/0:12:14 x1.00 ---------------VOLTRACK:01 NORMAL --------------- 0:00:30/0:12:14 x1.00 ---------------8 1VOLTRACK:01 NORMAL --------------- 0:00:30/0:12:14 x1.00 ---------------8 1 √MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM 145 780 PSKIP -DUP
67 11 OTHER FUNCTIONS ■Partial resetIf you want to initialize the operating conditions (VFO fre- quency, VFO settings, set mode contents) without clearing the memory contents, a partial resetting function is available for the receiver. ➥While pushing [VFO MHz], turn the power ON to partially reset the receiver. ■All resetThe function display may occasionally display erroneous in- formation (e.g. when first applying power). This may be caused externally by static electricity or by other factors. If this problem occurs, turn power OFF. After waiting for a few seconds, turn power ON again. If the problem persists, per- form the following procedure.•Partial resetting is also available. See left for details. IMPORTANT!:Resetting the receiver (All reset) CLEARS all memory in- formation and initializes all values in the receiver, includ- ing TV channel skip setting. ➥While pushing [VFO MHz]and [MR S.MW], turn the power ON to reset the CPU.DIAL.SEL SWEEP CENTER T-SCAN SKIP M.N TONE SET TS ATTRF GAIN IC Recorder 123 4560 789BANDDUALWATCH MAIN/SUB POWER VFO MHzMODE SCANMR S.MW SCOPE LOCK RECAFC √MODE ANLAFC TSQL FM 146010 PSKIP -DUPALL-RESET*The appearing frqeuency is different according to the receiver version.
