Icom IC-F61 ATEX UHF Handheld Analog Radio

Icom IC-F61 ATEX UHF Handheld Analog Radio with Advanced Features

Dust and Waterproof Protection Equivalent to IP67

The Icom IC-F61 ATEX UHF Handheld Analog Radio boasts a gasket-sealed waterproof housing, offering superior dust and waterproof protection equivalent to IP67. Designed for reliable and dependable use in harsh environments, this radio can withstand water submersion up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes, making it ideal for demanding conditions.

Built-in Tone Signaling

Take advantage of the built-in CTCSS, DTCS, 2-Tone, and 5-Tone capabilities to establish your own talk groups and maintain quiet stand-by modes when other groups are communicating. The radio also allows for selective calls to individuals or control of a repeater.

Multiple 5-Tone Features

Decode up to 8 5-Tone codes on a single memory channel, perfect for professionals needing multiple district paging on one channel. Programmable options for each code include:

• Bell icon
• Answer back
• Stun
• Beep sound
• Auto transmit
• Scan
• ID decode
• Emergency cancel

Customizable Controls with Up to 7 Programmable Buttons

With programmable buttons ([P0]–[P3], [Red], [Up], and [Down]), you can tailor the radio to meet specific operational needs. The [Red] button on the top panel can be configured as an emergency trigger.

Clear Alphanumeric Display

The radio features an 8-character alphanumeric display showing the channel, bank, tone code, and scanning channel names. Additionally, 7 operational icons provide status updates at a glance.

Secure Communications with Built-in Voice Scrambler

For added security, the IC-F61 includes a built-in rolling type voice scrambler equivalent to the UT-110.

Versatile Coverage and Large Channel Capacity

The IC-F61 covers 400–470 MHz frequencies and offers 128 memory channels with 8 memory banks, allowing you to manage local and wide-area network channels efficiently. Channel bandwidths (wide, middle, narrow) are programmable per channel.

Reliable Power with Li-ion Battery Pack

Equipped with a large capacity 1950 mAh rechargeable Lithium-ion battery pack (BP-227AXD), the radio provides approximately 10 hours of operation. Li-ion batteries support flexible charging with minimal memory effect.

Compact and Durable Design

With dimensions of 56 (W) × 97 (H) × 36.4 (D) mm, the compact and durable construction meets MIL standard specifications, ensuring ease of use and portability.

BIIS 1200 Compatibility

Access selective calling and data features with the BIIS 1200 system, including:

• 32 abbreviated call memories
• 7 group IDs
• 24-status messages
• 8-character SDM (Short Data Message)

Additional Features

• Built-in audio compander
• 8 DTMF autodial memories
• Normal and priority scans
• 2-step power saver
• Busy and repeater lockout functions
• Power ON password protection, and more...
