Icom IC-F1000/2000 VHF and UHF transceivers

Icom Australia has released the IC-F1000/F2000 series of VHF and UHF transceivers. The IC-F1000/2000 is a compact portable radio series with convenient features such as a built-in motion sensor, an inversion voice scrambler, channel announcement and IP67 waterproof and dust-tight protection.

The 24.5 mm slim-depth radio series is available in VHF (IC-F100) and UHF (IC-F2000). Each version has three different interface options to suit different user requirements: no display (IC-F1000/F2000), simple keypad (IC-F1000/F2000S) and full keypad (IC-F1000T/2000T).

Additionally, the series includes programmable ‘man down’ and ‘lone worker’ emergency functions. The radios can detect position, state of motion and non-motion and can send an emergency signal. Further, the motion function can detect if the transceiver is moving or shaking.

For added convenience, the series features channel announcement which audibly announces the selected channel number when rotating the channel knob. This enables users to make radio adjustments without having to look at the radio.
