Used Icom IC-R9500 Professional Communications Receiver
A true Icom flagship and one of the finest wideband communications receivers ever produced!
The Icom IC-R9500 is a professional-grade communications receiver covering an incredible 5kHz to 3335MHz, offering exceptional performance across HF, VHF, UHF and beyond.

Our Used Example
This particular IC-R9500 is in very nice condition, having spent its life in a private shack. A fantastic opportunity to own one of Icom's most impressive receivers at a fraction of its original selling price.
