ICOM IC-F3 / IC-F4 Portable Two-Way Radios

Portable communication that works the way you do

SmarTrunk II^TMcapability^*
The IC-F3 or IC-F4 is compatible with the the SmarTrunk II^TM trunking system when an optional UT-105 is installed. This cost effective trunking system provides telephone interconnect, unit-to-unit calling and several levels of priority. In addition, conventional mode is available for operation in out-of-service areas.
* Depending on version.

Supports numerous signaling systems
CTCSS, DTCS encode/decode and DTMF are standard, and either 2-tone decode or 5-tone encode/decode is optionally available to meet a wide variety of signaling requirements.

Rugged construction
Durable design features a one-piece polycarbonate front panel, aluminum die-cast frame and screw-type antenna. These radios are built tough to withstand demanding environments.

Dealer-programmable assign function
Up to 10 keys can be assigned functions, providing customized operation to suit your individual needs.

And more

Advanced programming capabilities via an IBM^(R) PC
Selectable LCD backlight condition: off, auto or continuously on
Long life battery pack
2-step power save function
Time-out timer
Password function
Selectable 5-tone format
6 character alpha display
