Icom’s new generation of lightweight, portable transceivers -- the IC-F14/F14S (VHF) and IC-F24/F24S (UHF) series -- features high-end functionality at a low-end price. Sporting rugged, military-spec construction and a wide frequency range, the F14/F24 series is perfect for small police and fire departments, warehouses, department stores, schools and hotels. The radios come in both 16-channel and two-channel versions and feature emergency call and voice privacy as standard features. The “positive-action” push-to-talk and function buttons make the radios easy to operate even while wearing gloves. Compatible with either 25-kilohertz or 12.5-kilohertz channel spacing, the F14/F24 series is the ideal product to accommodate radio operators’ changing requirements.• General Frequency coverage IC-F14/F14S: 136 – 174 MHz (U.S.A. and General) IC-F24/F24S: 400 – 470 MHz (U.S.A. and General) 450 – 512 MHz (U.S.A.) 450 – 520 MHz (General) Number of channels: 16 (IC-F14, IC-F24) 4 (Max.,IC-F14S, IC-F24S) Channel spacing: 12.5KHz/25 kHz PLL channel step: 2.5 kHz, 3.125 kHz (VHF) 5KHz, 6.25KHz (UHF) Power supply requirement: 7.2V DC Current drain: (at 7.2V DC; approx.)
