Icom ICF1000 IC-F1000 VHF 136-174MHz 16 Channel Portable Radio, Rapid Charger

The Icom IC-F1000 is a professional-grade VHF portable radio designed for demanding commercial and industrial environments. Operating across the 136–174 MHz band with 16 channels and 12.5 kHz channel spacing, it delivers the narrow-band efficiency required by modern frequency coordination plans. The radio carries an IP67 rating, making it fully submersible and dust-tight — a critical attribute for field personnel working in construction, utilities, hospitality, transportation, and public safety support roles. Advanced signaling suites including DTMF, MDC-1200, and 2/5-tone protocols enable seamless integration into existing dispatch and fleet management infrastructures. Safety-focused features such as Man Down, Lone Worker, and Enhanced Emergency with a built-in motion sensor provide an added layer of protection for personnel working alone or in hazardous conditions. The package includes the BC-213 rapid charger, ensuring minimal radio downtime during shift changes.

Key features & benefits

• IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof Protection — Rated IP67, the IC-F1000 is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water, making it reliable across harsh outdoor and industrial work sites.
• Man Down and Lone Worker Safety Functions — Integrated Man Down and Lone Worker features, reinforced by a built-in motion sensor for Enhanced Emergency alerting, provide continuous monitoring of personnel operating in isolated or high-risk environments.
• Comprehensive Signaling Suite — Supports DTMF (PTT-ID, Emergency call, 8 autodial memories), MDC-1200 (PTT-ID, Emergency, Radio Check, Stun/Revive), and 2/5-tone signaling (Selective call, Group call, Emergency, Radio Kill, Remote transmission), enabling broad compatibility with legacy and modern dispatch systems.
• Built-in Inversion Voice Scrambler — A 16-code selectable inversion voice scrambler provides a basic layer of communications privacy, deterring casual eavesdropping on sensitive operations.
• 16-Channel Operation on VHF 136–174 MHz — Covers the full VHF high-band spectrum at 12.5 kHz narrow-band channel spacing, meeting current regulatory efficiency requirements and supporting up to 16 programmable channels for multi-department or multi-site deployments.
• 800 mW Audio Output — Delivers 800 mW of audio power for clear, intelligible voice communication even in moderately noisy industrial or outdoor environments.
• Channel Announcement — Audible channel announcement reduces operator error during channel changes, particularly useful in high-activity environments where visual confirmation of the display is not always practical.
• Power-On and Read/Write Password Protection — Dual-layer password security — at power-on and for programming read/write access — protects radio configuration from unauthorized use or alteration.
• Rapid Charger Included — The bundled BC-213 rapid charger minimizes turnaround time between shifts, keeping radios operational and ready for deployment with minimal administrative overhead.
• Compact and Lightweight Form Factor — Measuring 2 × 4.4 × 1 inches and weighing only 0.52 lb with the BP-279 battery, the IC-F1000 places minimal burden on wearers during extended shifts.
