IP67 Dust-tight & Waterproof Protection

The IC-F3201DEX/F4201DEX provides rugged protection against dust and water that is equivalent to IP67. The IC-F3201DEX/F4201DEX can withstand 1m depth of water for 30 minutes and its dust-tight construction shuts out powder dust, sand and other objects.

IDAS™ Digital Mode Operation

The IC-F3201DEX/F4201DEX provides can program NXDN™ Type-D single-site trunking and digital conventional as well as analog mode per channel. The following digital features are programmable.

• PTT ID (TX)  • Individual/Group calls • Block decode
• Radio check (RX) • Stun/kill/revive (RX) • Call alert (RX)
• Remote monitor (RX)  • Emergency (TX)  • Digital voice scrambler (15-bit)
• Power ON/OFF status call (TX)  • RAN (Radio Access Number)
• Voting scan for multi-site conventional operation
TX: Transmit, RX: Receive

Analogue Mode Compatible

The IC-F3201DEX/F4201DEX has built-in 5-Tone, 2-Tone, CTCSS and DTCS signaling capability for analogue mode group communication and selective calling. The lone worker and man down functions automatically send an emergency signal to assist in worker safety. The radio is perfect for use as an analogue transceiver ready for future digital migration.

Other Features

  • 16 memory channels with channel announcement function
  •  MDC 1200 PTT ID and emergency transmission • DTMF autodial
  • Three programmable buttons (including emergency red button)
  • Low electrical resistivity body; Carrying case is not required
  • 19.5–21 hours* operating time with BP-277EX (* 5: 5: 90 duty cycle with Power save.)
  • Optional waterproof speaker-microphone, HM-203EX
