Antenna selection
The IC-R6 has an internal bar antenna installed for receiving
AM broadcast band (0.495–1.620 MHz; varies depending on
version) signals. In addition, the connected earphone cable
can be used as an antenna for receiving strong signals.

to select a desired band.
e
Push

when the Set mode has accessed from the AM broadcast
band in AM mode; select “EAR” when the “ANT” item is
selected for the strong signals.

(TS) to exit the Set mode.
NOTES:
•
Some noise or spurious may be received when the
internal bar or earphone cable is used as an antenna.
• The supplied or third party’s antenna
MUST BE
con-
nected to the antenna connector to receive signals other
than strong signals, such as AM broadcast band or near
by stations.
• When receiving an AM broadcast signal with internal bar
antenna, aim the receiver to better audio direction.
• When the internal bar is used as an antenna, the attenu-
ator function cannot be used.
