Icom Taking it to the Extreme - Rugged Radios for Rugged Terrain
A South American resort implements an Icom repeater and radios for their HeliSkiing
operation. Radios featured include the IC-4001, IC-F50 and the IC-F5021.
Simple operation for instant communication
The IC-F3001 series is so easy to use there's no special training required. The few knobs and
buttons are generously sized for easy operation and are designed to provide non-slip,
positive action — even while wearing gloves.
Easy to hear in noisy areas
The built-in bridge-tied load (BTL) amplifier offers powerful 800mW* audio output from the
large 45mm speaker. The radio delivers loud and intelligible audio even in noisy
environments.

Longer operating time
A new high efficiency FET of the IC-F3001 series reduces consumption current and provides
20 hours* of operating time with the BP-265, 2000mAh battery pack. Even when used with
the BP-264, the radio offers 14*hours of operating time.

Weather resistant, dust protection, military rugged
While the radio is a compact unit with a height of only 111mm (43/8 inch), the radio is tested
to dust protection and water resistant equivalent to IP54 and 11 categories of MIL-STD-810
environmental test. In short, the IC-F3001 series is built rugged!
Internal VOX capability for hands-free operation
The radio has the internal VOX capability for hands-free operation. Optional compatible
headset with plug adapter cable OPC-2004 can be used with the radio. Also, the VOX gain
and VOX delay time are adjustable.
Selective calling, quiet stand-by and more
2-Tone and 5-Tone signalings give you selective calling, quiet stand-by and other convenient
functions with programming. The radio "stun" function disables a radio over the air and the
"revive" function restores the stunned radio.
Scan features
The priority scan allows you to monitor one or two priority channels while scanning other
non-priority channels. The Tx channel and talk back functions allow you to make a quick
response while scanning.
