Many tuning steps.
Appears to be deaf above 1.3 GHz
Frequencies below 1.7MHz are strongly attenuated.
Has band sweep +/- 25 kHz or +/- 500 kHz; audio is muted while sweeping
Tone/DTSC squelch
Duplex operation
IF shift (SSB/CW mode only)
2600 memory channel storage (?)
R1500 differs from PCR1500 by having a detachable controller assembly which resembles a detachable
car radio controller. This controller only shows 8 digits of the frequency. It has a fixed decimal point, so it
only shows the frequency to the nearest 100 Hz.
First became available in early 2006.
