Icom F1000S VHF Analog Two-Way Radio with Display & Limited Keypad
Because shouting across the job site is so last season. Compact, rugged, and as reliable as your favorite coworker (the one who never forgets your birthday), the Icom F1000S is built for professionals who need no-nonsense communication with just enough buttons to get the job done—without turning into a pocket calculator. Whether you’re working outdoors, in a noisy warehouse, or somewhere between the construction zone and the conference room, the F1000S keeps your team talking clearly, safely, and efficiently.
Key Features & Why They Matter
- VHF Frequency Range (136–174MHz): Built for the wide open—ideal for outdoor use, long-distance comms, and telling Gary on the 9th green to hurry up.
- Limited Keypad & Display: 4 buttons and an 8-character LCD—enough to control your settings without making your thumbs feel like they’re solving a puzzle.
- Compact & IP67 Waterproof/Dustproof: Slim enough to fit in your pocket, tough enough to survive a dust storm or an unexpected dive into a puddle.
- Loud & Clear Audio (800mW): Cranks out enough sound to cut through the chaos—no more “Can you repeat that?” moments.
- Safety Features (Man Down, Lone Worker, Motion Detection): Acts like your digital guardian angel—great for anyone working solo or in risky environments.
- 128 Channels, 5W Output, MDC/BIIS Compatible: Plenty of room for teams, departments, and code names. Strong signal, and plays nice with other radios.
- 16-Code Voice Scrambler: Keeps your chats between you, your team, and not that nosy guy with the scanner.
- Long Battery Life (up to 14 hours): Works longer than your average coffee-fueled intern. No need to recharge halfway through the day.
