Icom Inc. announced this week that they will release the USA and EUR versions of the IC-R15 communication receiver around Spring 2024.

With simple operation and multi-functionality, even beginners can enjoy receiving various radio signals, such as aviation, railway, marine, and so on, with the IC-R15. Equipped with various functions, such as simultaneous receiving of two signals and high-speed scan, it will satisfy enthusiasts who have already enjoyed receiving radio signals. 

It covers frequency between 108 ~ 500 MHz in AM and FM modes and various bands like the Air, Railway, Marine, Amateur, and receiving FM Radio broadcasting. The Dualwatch function enables receiving multiple signals. While receiving on A Band, you can scan B Band, so you never miss a chance to capture signals. For example, it is possible to challenge more advanced aviation radio reception, such as the movements of two airplanes simultaneously, by establishing speedy and efficient listening.

Additionally, the IC-R15 has excellent visibility with a large color display that can display information like the broadcasting station, airport names, and so on.
