The mobile companion to the IC-80AD. Compact, dual band operation
,
remotable control head that fits just about anywhere
,
50 full watts of
output power on both VHF and UHF, easy-to-use menu system
,
wide band RX, and much more. It may be Icom's most
affordable dual bander with D-STAR capability, but
this workhorse is full of features you'd expect to
find in
expensive packages.
