ICOM IC-F4TR UHF Trunked Radio
The
ideal subscriber unit for UHF SMR and ESMR operations
Many of today's Community Repeater
and Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) operators are considering the emerging
business opportunities in UHF trunking. Also, the new Enhanced Specialized
Mobile Radio (ESMR) network solutions are an effective strategy for the
traditional dispatch market now being attacked by PCS and Cellular phone
competition. The Icom IC-F4TR is the perfect subscriber unit for this strong
and viable market. Conventional operation, basic LTR(R)
and PassPort(R) are
all built-in offering you a complete upgrade path as your system grows.
Flash memory will enable the easy addition of future system enhancements
as they are developed. Icom radios are known for their rugged MIL spec.
reliability and solid performance, and so is the IC-F4TR, a strict requirement
for a problem-free fleet radio. All the most popular system features are
included but unnecessary and complicated features have been eliminated
to keep the operation simple. The Icom IC-F4TR is a cost effective, rugged
and reliable subscriber unit with a built-in upgrade path to increase your
loading factor and Revenue Per Unit (RPU).
Multiple modes
Conventional, basic LTR (R)
and PassPort (R) are
built-in. Conventional operation and talk-around are both available from
the front panel during LTR (R)
and PassPort (R) operation.
Flash memory enables future system upgrades and future compatibility with
other protocols.
Conventional features
250 channels either 12.5 kHz or 25
kHz, CTCSS, DTCS and alpha names.
LTR (R)
features
50 systems with up to 100 groups
per system. All basic LTR (R)
system features.
PassPort (R)
features
60,000 useable ID's, individual mobile
ID's and roamer ID's, wide area dispatch, selective calling, ESN (Electrical
Serial Number) check, message trunking, OTAR (Over the Air Re-programming),
automatic registration, call forwarding and voice mail.
Advanced trunking performance
Our new Fractional-N system for ultra
high-speed PLL lock-up provides faster acquisition times and efficient
trunking performance. The built-in receive signal strength indicator (RSSI)
enables seamless roaming under the PassPort (R)
protocol, as the IC-F4TR automatically registers with the nearest site
(does not rely on BER calculations which slow down the registration process).
Simple and keypad versions
Select which is right for you, the
keypad version with full interconnect capability or the simple dispatch
subscriber unit without keypad.
Entire UHF bandwidth usable
Three bandwidth versions (400-30
MHz, 450-90 MHz, and 480-12 MHz) all have switchable 12.5/25 kHz width
by channel, and 5/6.25 kHz frequency pitch making all the new UHF channels
available for trunking, even if your channels aren't right next to each
other.
Alphanumeric display
The 8-digit LCD display has 18 icons
that indicate system status and operational selections, including battery
condition. The new 11-segment character set may be toggled from the control
panel between system/group numbers or PC pre-programmed alpha names.
Programmable keys
Each version has 7 PC programmable
keys, which may be assigned functions to customize operations for end users.
System/Group, Home System, Scan/Scan clear, Talk around, Auto dialler,
and keypad lock are some assignment examples.
Advanced PC programming
You may assign mode (conventional,
LTR (R) or PassPort
(R))
by system, default talk group for home button, power-ON home or previous
group, over the air programming for PassPort (R)
, network roaming, 53 MHz off-set by channel, LTR (R)
polarity by system, home channel and area bit by system, Tx and Rx ID,
and UID for PassPort (R).
MIL grade durability
Durable design features a one-piece
aluminum die-cast chassis, polycarbonate front panel and screw type antenna.
The IC-F4TR meets MIL spec. C, D and E.
Multiple scan mode
Conventional, system and group scan
enable continuous contact under multi system operation without any action
by the end-user.
