Icom NZ IC-F1000D VHF transceiver

The Icom NZ IC-F1000D can be programmed for Type-D single-site trunking and digital conventional modes as well as analog mode per channel. The IDAS digital mode employs 4-level FSK modulation and the NXDN common air interface, offering true 6.25 kHz spectrum efficiency, higher security and better audio clarity even at the fringes of the communication range.

The following IDAS features are programmable: PTT ID (TX), individual/group calls, radio check (RX), stun/kill/revive (RX), remote monitor (RX), emergency (TX), call alert (RX), digital voice scrambler (15-bit), status call (power on/off status and GPS request) and voting scan for multisite conventional operation.

The IC-F1000D has motion detection, man down and lone worker functions, and is IP67 rated and MIL-STD 810 tested. The large 36 mm speaker of the transceiver provides clear 800 mW audio. The built-in BTL amplifier increases the audio output power and delivers loud and intelligible voice to a radio operator working in noisy environments. With an optional GPS speaker-microphone, GPS position data can be attached to a voice or data transmission such as responding to a GPS request status call.

The IC-F1000D has built-in 2-Tone, 5-Tone, CTCSS and DTCS signalling capability for analog mode group communication and selective calling, and can be used as an analog transceiver ready for future digital migration. Other features include: DTMF autodial memories, surveillance function, escalating alarm, VOX, channel announcement function, and a red emergency switch on the top panel.
