Expanding Icom’s new range of IDAS digital two-way radios is the Icom IC-F52D/F62D series, a compact, waterproof radio with advanced features.

Available in VHF (IC-F52D) and UHF (IC-F62D), this new radio series is exceptionally compact and smaller in size than Icom’s hugely popular IC-F51/IC-F51V analogue series. It is also waterproof and dustproof and ideal for the outdoor environment of a construction site or a season of hire.

A whole host of sophisticated features means that this radio offers significant value for money. The IC-F52D/F62D series features the technical design advantages of the IC-F3400D a next-generation IDAS handheld radio series, but also offers state-of-the-art improvements, including:
