Icom V80 HD

Icom radios are built tough, and the IC-V80 HD – Icom's most economical 2M – is no exception. This military rugged rig offers water resistance and superior protection against dust and dirt (IP54). Compact, rugged and with plenty of power, the IC-V80 HD is ideal for basic, on-the-go ham operations.; The IC-V80 HD uses the BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the audio output. Every ham knows that power = current × voltage. The V80’s BTL increases the audio output by doubling the voltage delivered to the speaker.The 36mm large speaker delivers 750mW of loud and intelligible audio. Great for noisy environments.; The IC-V80 HD offers a just-right mix of power and size. 5.5 watts of high power will work to get your message through. Get up to 19 hours of operating time with the V80 HD power version, which includes a BP-265 Li-ion battery pack and a BC-193 rapid charger. All that power comes is an easy to hold and use size – not too big, not too small. The IC-V80 can also be powered by an alkaline battery pack (V80 Sport version only).; The dust protection and water-resistance equivalent to IP54 provides reliable operation for practical outdoor operation. The IC-V80 HD tested to and passed 11 categories of MIL-STD-810 environmental tests.; The IC-V80 HD has a total of 207 memory channels, including 200 regular channels, 6 channels, including 200 regular channels, 6 scan edges and 1 call channel. The channel name is programmable with 5 characters for easy recognition.; The built-in CTCSS and DTCS tone codes provide quiet stand-by and allow you to use tone-access repeaters. The pocket beep alerts you when a matching tone frequency is received. The tone scan detects the subaudible tone that is used for repeater access.; The IC-V80 HD has internal VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) function for convenient hands-free operation with a compatible optional headset and plug adapter cable. Also, the VOX gain and VOX delay time are adjustable.
