Very Rare Icom ICR9500, crazy at $10k

Sold sold sold pending payment 
Huge price drop, 

$10k,so so cheap, and I'm not using radio much these days due to cars taking over my recreational time, so expect a few clearance items as these radios deserve to be used, not stored. 

New car Im adding to my stable if your interested, see link below, its won a few prizes around Australia so it will fit in well with my other fun toys.

So if your interested in anything radio, Im selling it, send me your enquiries and I promise a good price as I just have just become so passionate re my car collection, many more on my 2026 list, so loads of radios going.

One very rare and only been used in a radio shack environment Icom ICR9500 in beautiful condition. 

These units are extremely difficult to find in Australia without being ex field units which tend to unfortunately show imperfections versus this beautiful example. 

Only being sold due to upgrades being made, the next owner of this unit will not be disappointed,  it was definitely never on my plan to sell due to its incredible performance on so many bands.

Any test welcomed,  can be shipped worldwide.

The IC-R9500 covers 0.005–3335MHz*1 in SSB, AM, FM, WFM, CW, FSK and P25*2 modes. It is suitable for a wide variety of radio monitoring and listening activities.

The IC-R9500 achieves its amazing performance by using a D-MOS FET array in the 1st mixer (below 30MHz) and an excellent IMD roofing filter. The IC-R9500 has +40dBm IP3 and 109dB dynamic range at 14.1MHz. IP3 performance is +9.8dBm at 50MHz and +6.2dBm at 620MHz (+5dBm (typical) from 30MHz to 3335MHz).

The IC-R9500 has 5 independent roofing filters (240, 50, 15, 6 and 3kHz) for improved selectivity. In very crowded RF spectrum conditions, it is extremely important to prevent overload and from strong signals. The 3kHz roofing filter provides a 130dB (approx.)* blocking dynamic range.

The IC-R9500 uses an OCXO (Oven Control Crystal Oscillator) unit which provides ±0.05ppm frequency stability from 0°C to 50°C. The 10MHz reference frequency can either be supplied to or input from external equipment.

Using a dedicated DSP unit improves the dynamic range of the spectrum scope. The IC-R9500 has four different display modes such as normal/wide and center/fixed width. The spectrum scope normally covers a range from ±2.5kHz to ±5MHz, while the wide band spectrum scope* observes up to ±500MHz (±10MHz, ±25MHz, ±50MHz, ±100MHz ±250MHz and ±500MHz selectable). When using the normal spectrum scope mode, the digital scope’s filter width can vary from 200Hz to 20kHz with a variable sweep speed.
