Icom F4029SDR Digital Licence free portable radio

This advanced walkie talkie gives users all the benefits of digital radio channels - clear audio, twice the number of available licence-exempt channels, the ability to send fixed 16-character status messages to reduce voice traffic - and complete security from eavesdropping in digital mode. It is also compatible with current analogue PMR 446 channels giving  an upgrade path from analogue to digital without discarding any existing 446 equipment from Icom, Motorola or Kenwood. Small, lightweight & complete with lithium-ion battery.

•  No licence required
•  32-status messages 32 codes of prefixed status messages can be sent and received. 16-character messages and 6 types of alert beeps sound that for call reception are programmable for each message.
•   “Common ID” group code This function is similar to an analogue CTCSS/DTCS code. By setting 1–254 common ID codes, the IC-F4029SDR opens its squelch only when a matched code is received. It provides quiet stand-by and group call functions while sharing a channel with several groups. The code “255” is the fixed code for an all stations call.
•  Security of digital voice Eavesdropping by current scanner receivers is impossible at this stage. Since there are no other competing radios, initial users will have a high level of security in digital voice communication mode.
•  Additional Digital Features:
•  Group call functions (up to 254 digital codes available)
•  Programmable 32 status message of up to 16 characters each can be sent to individual or group member radios when in digital mode. This is configurable by a PC
•  In addition to Icom default channel settings, other channel zones are preprogrammed to have matched settings with Kenwood and Motorola PMR446 models currently on the market. These radios can be sold to match Motorola/Kenwood current analogue configuration reducing the necessity to reprogram radios for fleets consisting of non- Icom radios. .
