ICOM IC-2300H 144MHz Analog Mobile Radio Transceivers
The Icom IC-2300H is a 144MHz FM transceiver designed for mobile use. Here are some key features of this rugged and reliable radio:
- Output Power: The IC-2300H can generate up to 65 watts of output power, making it suitable for both short-range and long-range communication. The rugged aluminum die-cast construction ensures effective heat dissipation even during high-duty cycle continuous transmission.
- Memory Channels: It offers a total of 207 memory channels, including 200 regular channels, 6 scan edges, and 1 call channel. You can program the channel names with up to 6 characters for easy recognition.
- CTCSS and DTCS: Built-in CTCSS and DTCS tones allow for quiet standby and repeater access. The tone scan function detects subaudible tones used for repeater access, and the pocket beep function provides an audible and visual indicator of incoming calls. The DTCS encoder function (transmit only) is also available.
- Simple Operation: The IC-2300H retains a basic panel layout and user interface from its predecessor, the IC-2200H. The 70.6×20 mm LCD display offers good viewing angles suitable for mobile operation. The display indicates available functions of the front panel buttons directly below it.
- Scan Functions: The IC-2300H supports various scan types, including the Dynamic Memory Scan (DMS) system. With DMS, you can scan selected banks from 10 memory banks by adding or deleting bank links.
- Tested Tough: The IC-2300H has been tested to meet the latest MIL-STD 810 G specifications, including shock, vibration, and temperature tests. It’s built to withstand rough road conditions.
- Optional Accessories: Consider the optional active noise-canceling microphone HM-209, which automatically reduces noise in extremely noisy environments and ensures clear audio transmission.
Remember, the Icom IC-2300H is a powerful VHF transceiver designed for reliable communication, whether you’re on the road or in the field. 🚗📻
