The Icom IC-F29DR3 is the latest in a long line of bestselling licence-free PMR446 radios from Icom. Aimed primarily at the professional user, this radio can operate as well as scan in both analogue and digital modes at the same time. This allows an organisation to operate analogue and digital PMR446 radios in their fleet. It also offers a higher degree of digital encryption as well as digitally enhanced audio quality.
The IC-F29DR3 is virtually identical to its predecessor regarding features, ease of use and performance. It provides a great licence-free solution for those businesses and organisations that want short-range communications.
The Icom IC-F29DR3 offers excellent performance and long battery life of up to 26 hours offering flexibility for a wide range of industry and business sectors. The radios are also IP67 waterproof and dustproof rated so they are robust enough to be used outdoors. This new series also has a lone worker function, an essential requirement for Health & Safety. A wide range of accessories is available for this radio, including VOX headsets for hands-free operation.
