ICOM IC-T82A Tri Band. 6, 2 METER, VHF/430 TO 450 UHF Handheld

Surprisingly compact, full featured tri band handheld with wide band receiver!

IC-T82A A standard feature of the IC-T82A* is both DTCS and CTCSS encode and decode capability. Don't know what tone is used? Don't worry: the tone scan feature will identify the appropriate tone frequency. Choose from either 104 DTCS or 50 CTCSS codes for receive and transmit, individually. In addition, a pocket beep function gives you an audio alert when a matched tone signal is received - a great feature for quiet, group operations.

	DTMF encoder with 10 DTMF memories
	Auto squelch
	Backlit LCD and keypad
	High speed scanning
	13 scanning modes
	PC programmable
	6-16 V DC operation
	Split operation

MORE FEATURES
Wide band receiver - 495 kHz to 1319.995 MHz** The commercial grade IC-T82A* transceiver offers a wide band AM, FM and WFM scanning receiver. Not only can you hear your favorite TV programs with the preprogrammed TV channels, but you can also listen to short-wave, AM and FM broadcast radio stations, police, fire, military, aircraft, various amateur bands and more.	--
New DMS (Dynamic Memory Scan) bank scanning With 500 alphanumeric memory channels, plus 50 band edges, the IC-T82A is a dream radio! But, with ICOM's new DMS (Dynamic Memory Scan) technology, the IC-T82A makes the dream a reality. With the maximum of 18 banks or 99 channels per bank, you can pick and choose any desired channel for scanning from 500 available memories.
Lithium-Ion technology With ICOM's newly designed power amplifier, enjoy a full 5 Watts from the supplied BP-217 Lithium-Ion battery pack. Along with the energy conservation settings, the BP-217 provides many hours of operating time. Superior Lithium-Ion technology greatly reduces both size and weight needed to get full output power, just recharge and go!
Rugged palm sized, weather resistant construction This compact radio is comfortable in the smallest of hands, and offers full radio control for large fingers. The rugged case and chassis are designed for the most demanding environments with JIS-4 specification for weather resistance.
DTCS and CTCSS tone squelch A standard feature of the IC-T82A is both DTCS and CTCSS encode and decode capability. Don't know what tone is used? Don't worry: the tone scan feature will identify the appropriate tone frequency. Choose from either 104 DTCS or 50 CTCSS codes for receive and transmit, individually. In addition, a pocket beep function gives you an audio alert when a matched tone signal is received - a great feature for quiet, group operations.
Simple operation Simple, one-handed operation is the most valuable feature of the IC-T82A. The backlit ten-key pad allows you to enter frequency, memory number and various other features. While the tuning knob can be customized for either channel selection, or volume control.
