■ Receive mode selection
Receive modes are determined by the physical properties of

LSB, CW, AM, WFM and FM modes. The mode selection is
stored independently in each memory channel.
Additionally, IC-R2500 has a DV or P25 mode when the op-
tional UT-118 or UT-122 units are installed, respectively. In
DV or P25 mode, the right band can select AM, FM and WFM
mode only.
Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations
(0.495–1.620 MHz), air band (118–135.995 MHz), and short-
