ICOM IC-F6021 Analog Mobile Radio, 45 W, 400-470MHz UHF, 128 Channels DTMF

The Icom IC-F6021 is a 45-watt UHF analog mobile radio covering 400–470 MHz across 128 channels organized into 8 zones. Built for demanding professional and public-safety environments, it carries MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F ruggedness ratings and FCC approval, making it a reliable choice for fleet dispatch, utilities, transportation, and construction operations where clear voice communication and disciplined channel management are essential. The radio supports three signaling protocols—5-tone, DTMF, and MDC-1200—enabling rich call management functions including selective call, group call, emergency call, PTT-ID, and over-the-air radio activation and deactivation. An optional encryption card slot and a dedicated accessory port for repeater connection extend its operational reach without requiring a hardware replacement.

Key features & benefits

• High-Power UHF Output — Delivers 45 W across the 400–470 MHz UHF band, providing robust signal penetration in dense urban areas, large facilities, and vehicle-to-infrastructure links.
• 128 Channels / 8 Zones — Organizes up to 128 channels into 8 zones with a channel browser supporting normal and priority scan modes, keeping operators focused on the most critical traffic.
• Triple Signaling Protocol Support — Supports 5-tone, DTMF, and MDC-1200 signaling simultaneously, enabling PTT-ID, on-screen ANI, selective call, group call, remote radio check, and smart emergency call across mixed fleets.
• Over-the-Air Control — Remote radio activation, deactivation, and monitoring via air interface allow supervisors to manage field units without physical access to the radio.
• Optional Encryption Card Slot — An internal port accommodates an optional encryptor card, adding a layer of voice privacy for sensitive or regulated operations without external hardware.
• Accessory Port for Repeater Connection — A dedicated accessory port supports repeater linking and other custom applications when used with the compatible OPC-2078 and/or OPC-1939 cables, expanding network architecture flexibility.
• 8-Character Alphanumeric Display — The front-panel display shows channel aliases, caller IDs, and system messages in up to 8 alphanumeric characters, reducing operator error in high-tempo environments.
• Security and Access Controls — Anti-reading lock and password protection for power-on, reading, and writing prevent unauthorized configuration changes and protect sensitive channel plans.
• MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F Ruggedness — Tested to four generations of military environmental standards, the IC-F6021 withstands shock, vibration, temperature extremes, and other harsh conditions encountered in field-deployed vehicles.
• Dual Channel Spacing — Selectable 12.5/25 kHz and 15/30 kHz channel spacing provides compatibility with both narrowband-mandate and legacy wideband channel plans within the same radio.
