IC-U82 2m FM 5w Digital Handheld


Introducing the IC-U82 - High power UHF Handheld with Digital Capability
Icom announces the debut of the IC-U82, ahigh power 5W VHF ham Radio handheld transceiver with optional digital capabilities. The introduction of an optional UT-118 digital unit provides users not only digital voice and data communication with other compatible IC-U82 and IC-2200H UHF mobile units but position exchange as well.

Featuring a durable, modern design, the IC-U82 is an ideal transceiver for newcomers to ham Radio or those users seeking an easy to use 2 Metre handportable. The IC-U82 has a 5 character alphanumeric LCD to show a variety of functions including S-meter, output power, power save, key-lock, tone and duplex. A backlit LCD allows the screen features to be seen in low light conditions.
The IC-U82 has 207 memory channels complete with the capability of programmable features for each, such as subaudible tone encoding, tone squelch, repeater offset and the ability to give channels names for easy identification.
The IC-U82 has the essential features that are now common in Icom's range of ham Radio products including built in CTCSS and DTCS tones for quiet standby and repeater access and 16 DTMF memory channels.

The IC-U82 has a special socket to accept the optional UT-118* digital unit that provides for simultaneous digital voice and data (up to 20 character short data message can be sent) providing alevel of capability and versatility to the ham Radio user. Other digital features include:
-7W of output power
The IC-U82 employs ahighly efficient, low exothermic MOS-FET. With the supplied battery pack, 5W of high power operation is possible. For longer operating times, 2W or 0.5W* of reduced output power settings can be selected
