VHF/UHF Handheld Transceiver IC-F33GT/GS IC-F43GT/GS

Pasted Graphic 1logo_std_mil

ADVANCED STANDARD MODEL
The IC-F33G series is suitable for a variety of needs — large or small, mobile or stationary. Offering advanced features such as wide frequency range, multiple signaling and loud audio, the IC-F33G series is a rugged and reliable 2-way communications tool.
256 memory channels with 16 banks
The 256 memory channel capacity with 16 banks allows you to divide and store a variety of channel groupings. Channel selection can be made easily with a rotation of the rotary channel knob.
Lithium-Ion battery pack
The supplied 2000mAh Li-Ion battery pack, BP-232N, provides 15/16 hours* of operating time. An optional AA size battery case BP-240 stores a charge for years and is an ideal choice for emergency preparedness.
* UHF/VHF, typical operation Tx:Rx: Standby=5:5:90, power save on.
Multiple 5-Tone, Multiple 2-Tone
The IC-F33G series can encode and decode up to 10 2-Tone codes or 32/8* 5-Tone codes on a single memory channel. This is perfect for professionals who require multiple district paging on one channel.
* Encode/decode.
