Looking for a handheld radio that can go the distance, deliver clear audio, and do all of that while still fitting comfortably in your hand? Meet the IC-V86! With a solid 7W output power and an impressive 1500 mW audio output, this radio is ready to turn your communications up to 11.
Here’s what you’ll love about the IC-V86:
7W Output Power: Shout it from the Rooftop (or Across the Hills)
- You don’t need to be an astronaut to communicate far and wide with the IC-V86. Whether you’re talking from a mountaintop or a wide-open field, its 7W output power ensures that your signal will travel. (Just don’t try talking to aliens—unless you’re using the right frequencies!)
1500 mW Audio: Clear as a Bell, Even in a Windstorm
- Whether you’re at the top of a hill or in the middle of a dust storm, the 1500 mW of audio power ensures you hear everything loud and clear. No more “Sorry, what did you say?” moments — you’ll be able to hear every word, every time. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a full-on QSO, you’ll never miss a thing.
Long Range Communication: Like a Walkie-Talkie on Steroids
- Comparing the IC-V86 to its little sibling, the IC-V80, you’ll quickly notice the difference in communication range. The 7W output takes your range up a notch, making sure your voice travels far—whether you’re chatting across the hills, across the plains, or across a wide-open space (because we all know that “wide-open space” can mean a lot of things).
Key Difference: The primary difference between the IC-V86 and IC-U86 is their frequency range:
- IC-V86 works on VHF frequencies (136-174 MHz).
- IC-U86 works on UHF frequencies (400-470 MHz).
Compact Powerhouse: Small Enough to Hold, Strong Enough to Deliver
This radio may be small enough to fit comfortably in your hand, but don’t let its size fool you. It packs enough punch to make sure your signal is heard and your voice is clear, no matter the weather or environment. Perfect for hiking, camping, or just strolling around the block.
In short, the IC-V86 is the handheld radio that proves good things come in small, loud, and powerful packages. With 7W output power and 1500 mW of audio, you’ll never need to yell for someone to hear you again. Ready to take your comms game to the next level? Grab the IC-V86 and get to talking!
