Product Description

The IC-F31/F41 series is a range of advanced handportable transceivers, launched by Icom, aimed purely at systems. Incorporating good design and featuring a large capacity for expansion, the new IC-F31/F41 series contains a wide range of built-in features including 256 channel capacity, a 2-line-LCD display, backlit keypad, wide/narrow 25kHz/12.5kHz channels, multiple tone signalling standards, Flash-ROM and high speed PLL. This makes it the ideal transceiver for small systems as well as large, wide area networks.

The strength of the IC-F31/F41 series is its versatility. The IC-F31/F41 is designed on a Flash ROM platform, which enables future system upgrades and future compatibility with other protocols. Featuring state-of-the-art RF technology including a newly designed Fractional-N™ PLL system, the ultra high-speed circuitry provides stable data communications. A new speech compressor (Audio Compander function) provides crystal clear audio under noisy conditions.

The IC-F31/F41 series has a variety of signalling standards built in, including CTCSS, DTCS, 2 Tone, 5 Tone and DTMF. Both encode and decode functions are also built in. ANI (Automatic Number Identification) identifies the unit in use with the appropriate dispatch equipment. Two levels of voice scrambling are available to safeguard your transmissions. You can choose either the UT-109 Simple Inversion module or the more secure UT-110 Rolling Code module.

Included with each radio are a rapid charger, belt clip, comprehensive handbook and a NI-MH rechargeable battery (which is designed for 10 hours operation). To give added confidence each model has a 2-year warranty (excluding battery). A comprehensive list of accessories is also available.
