75W of output power
The combination of Icom’s one piece, die-cast aluminum chassis and 75W of transmit power gives you the most powerful 2m mobile transceiver in its class! Your communications will get through.
HM-133V, remote control microphone
The backlit HM-133V*, gives you control of your IC-V8000 in the palm of your hand. The Icom exclusive “Hot keys” (F1/F2) memorize the transceiver full settings. As if switching between two separate radios, all operating frequencies, tone settings as well as the display color, fan speed, and set mode settings are memorized.
* Optional for some versions.
Dynamic Memory Scan (DMS)
With 200 alphanumeric memory channels, Icom’s exclusive DMS system gives you flexibility over your scanning lists never offered before in a 2m mobile, fully customizable into 10 banks.
CTCSS and DTCS operation standard
50 CTCSS and 104×2 DTCS encode/decode plus tone scan functions for various communication applications. The “pocket beep” feature gives you an audible and visual indicator of an incoming call.
Weather Alert Scan (U.S.A. version only)
An amateur radio first, the IC-V8000 features a weather alert function to keep you on top of any weather emergencies. With a weather radio mode or weather alert, you are ready for quick response.
Easy Operation
The perfect solution for mobile operation, the ICV8000 has a front firing speaker providing crisp and clear audio. Along with a 6 character alphanumeric display, it offers quick reference of user-defined memory channel information.
Standard DTMF encoder and optional decoder
10 DTMF memory channels with up to 24-digit DTMF codes can be used to control other equipment. The optional UT-108 DTMF decoder provides code squelch and pager functions.
And more…
- FM narrow mode switchable
(U.S.A. version only) - Selectable squelch delay
- 10dB squelch attenuator
- Cloning capability from PC or between radios
