Icom IC-F4032S

The Icom IC-F4032S is the UHF version of this professional two way radio. It’s ideal for use outdoors, or in refrigeration units, as it is waterproof to 1 metre for 30 minutes, designed for use down to minus 25 degrees, and its hardwearing build protects against any ingress of fine dust particles. As such, the radio has been IP67 rated, and it comes with a fully waterproof battery.

This licensed radio offers 128 channels and weighs 310g, with 1 to 4 watts of power depending on the output setting. It has an alphanumeric display, a battery indicator and a power saving mode. The radio can be used in surveillance mode, and can be placed into quiet standby when not in use. Selective calling lets you make either individual or group calls, without hearing others’ conversations.

The Icom IC-F4032S incorporates an expansion port that can be used to attached additional modules, giving you an easy way to alter its functionality, depending on your needs. The red emergency button can be programmed to operate a lone worker mode, but with an upgrade module, it could perform a different task.
