Extensive market research has led Icom to create the IC-F25SR commercial grade licence free transceiver. Responding to professional radio users needs, the IC-F25SR is a tough, easy to use practical radio with a high capacity battery pack that will meet the demands of the PMR446 service.The IC-F25SR is specifically aimed at the commercial user or outdoor activity enthusiast who will benefit from an incredible 26.5 hours of operating time in a most robust chassis.
The IC-F25SR transceiver offers maximum flexibility and instant communication between members of a group in and around buildings and over short distances. This makes it the ideal tool for a huge number of users in diverse areas such as construction, catering, event management, neighbourhood watch, factories, farms as well as orienteering, walking or rambling etc.
The IC-F25SR has a simple design so that users will require little training. There are only three controls; transmit button, volume control and channel selector. This simple interface makes it ideal for high turnover environments and shift work where the radio is constantly passed from person to person.
One of the most valuable features of the IC-F25SR is that it comes with a large capacity, 2000mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack as standard to provide an incredible 26.5 hours of operating time. For many users the fast charger minimises down time by returning the radio to service rapidly. This means that a single charge will last an entire shift and more.
Despite its commercial grade construction, the IC-F25SR is extremely light, weighing only 300g. Measuring only 53x195x38mm, the IC-F25SR is easy to carry and fits comfortably in the hand. The size and slim design of this transceiver makes it ideal for those users who find traditional radio too big and bulky to carry. Durability is an important ingredient, as this new radio meets tough US Military standards, MIL-810C, D and E for shock and vibration. These factors combine to provide high reliability, even in the toughest environments.
For the more security conscious, two types of optional voice scramblers are available for the IC-F25SR. By simply installing a small option board the IC-F25SR provides the user with secure communication. The IC-F25SR shares many of the same accessories with the Icom range of professional radios including headsets, speaker microphones, batteries and cases etc. To give added confidence the IC-F25SR has a 2-year warranty.
Without doubt this is an unbeatable new product from Icom. The IC-F25SR is ideal for a wide range of customers ranging from those who have never used a radio before to established organisations who want a hardworking, long lasting, practical, licence free transceiver that won't let them down.
