VHF and UHF Commercial Transceivers

Icom UK are pleased to announce details of a new series of low cost, entry level handportable radios. The series, divided into the IC-F3002 (16 channel) for VHF and IC-F4002 (16 channel) for UHF, offer simple operation, high performance and strong commercial build at a very low cost. This makes these new radios ideal for a wide range of business and industry sectors that are searching for a simple yet dependable communication solution.

800mW audio output power
The built-in bridge-tied load (BTL) amplifier provides powerful 800mW* audio output from the large 45mm speaker. The radio delivers loud and intelligible audio even in noisy environments. (* Typical with internal speaker)

Low consumption for longer operating time
A new, high-efficiency FET reduces current consumption and provides 20 hours* of operating time with the included BP-265 Lithium-Ion battery. * Power save function ON with 5% TX, 5% RX, and 90% standby.

Simple operation for instant communication
Simplicity is the key behind the design of the IC-F3002 series. The IC-F3002 series is so easy to use there's no special training required. The few knobs and buttons are generously sized for easy operation and are designed to provide non-slip, positive action — even while wearing gloves. This simple interface makes it ideal for high turnover environments and shift work where the radio is constantly passed from person to person.

Weather resistant, dust protection, military rugged
While the radio is a compact unit with a height of only 111mm the radio is tested to dust protection and water resistant equivalent to IP54 and 11 categories of MIL-STD-810 environmental test. In short, the IC-F3002 series is built rugged!

Internal VOX capability for hands-free operation
The radio has the internal VOX capability for hands-free operation. Optional compatible headset with plug adapter cable OPC-2004 can be used with the radio. Also, the VOX gain and VOX delay time are adjustable.

5-Tone encoder/decoder
5-Tone signalling gives you selective calling, quiet stand-by and other convenient functions with programming. The radio “stun” function disables a radio over the air and the “revive” function restores the stunned radio.

CTCSS/DTCS encoder/decoder
The IC-F3002 series has added CTCSS/DTCS high speed decoder to reduce the decode speed to nearly half of its predecessor, the IC-F15 series.

Scan features
The priority scan allows you to monitor one or two priority channels while scanning other non-priority channels. The Tx channel and talk back functions allow you to make a quick response while scanning.

Lone worker function
When the radio is not operated for a preset period, any radio operation is required with a beep sound. If the radio is not operated within that preset time, an emergency signal automatically transmits and alerts your co-worker or dispatcher to any potential trouble.
