Icom ICF5011 Mobile Radio IC-F5011 VHF 136-174 MHz 8 Channel 50 Watts MDC-1200 5-Tone

The Icom IC-F5011 is a VHF mobile radio operating across the 136–174 MHz band with 50 watts of transmit power and 8 channel capacity. Designed for demanding commercial and public-safety-adjacent applications, it delivers a full suite of signaling protocols — MDC-1200, 5-Tone, and DTMF — giving fleet and dispatch operators precise control over PTT-ID, selective calling, emergency calls, radio check, remote monitor, and radio stun/kill functions. The front-mounted 4-watt speaker delivers clear audio in high-ambient-noise environments such as vehicles, warehouses, and construction sites. Security features including reading password and power-on password protect channel configurations from unauthorized access, while four programmable buttons and an independent volume knob allow operators to tailor the interface to their workflow without taking eyes off the road or task at hand. The IC-F5011 complies with the FCC narrowbanding mandate, making it a compliant, long-term investment for licensed commercial operations.

Key features & benefits

• 50-Watt VHF Output — Transmits across the full 136–174 MHz VHF band at 50 watts, providing the range and signal penetration needed for mobile operations in urban, suburban, and rural environments.
• Multi-Protocol Signaling Suite — Supports MDC-1200, 5-Tone, and DTMF signaling protocols, enabling PTT-ID/ANI, selective calling, talk groups, emergency calls, radio check, remote monitor, and radio stun/kill — critical capabilities for coordinated fleet and dispatch operations.
• 4-Watt Front-Mounted Speaker — The integrated 4-watt front-facing speaker ensures audio clarity is maintained even in loud vehicle cabins or high-noise industrial settings without requiring an external speaker accessory.
• Dual Password Security — Independent reading password and power-on password features prevent unauthorized access to programmed channel configurations and radio operation, protecting sensitive frequency plans in shared-vehicle or high-turnover environments.
• Optional Voice Scrambler — Compatible with optional voice scrambler units UT-109R or UT-110R, adding a layer of voice privacy for organizations that require discreet communications without migrating to a full digital system.
• Enhanced Scan with Remote Channel Control — Advanced scan features keep operators aware of activity across programmed channels, while optional ACC cable connectivity enables remote channel control — useful for installations where the head unit is mounted out of easy reach.
• 4 Programmable Buttons — Four user-assignable buttons allow organizations to map the most frequently used functions directly to the front panel, reducing menu navigation time and improving operational efficiency.
• FCC Narrowband Compliant — Fully complies with the FCC narrowbanding mandate, ensuring the radio meets current spectral efficiency requirements and remains legally operable on licensed commercial frequencies.
• DTMF Autodial — Built-in DTMF autodial capability streamlines interconnect and dispatch workflows, allowing pre-programmed number sequences to be sent without manual keypad entry.
