128 Channels with 8 Zones

Ample 128 channel capacity allows most companies plenty of room to grow. Up to 8 zones lets you group together channels in logical fashion.

Built Military Rugged!

The tough aluminum die-cast chassis and polycarbonate front panel have been tested to the MIL standard 810 F.

Compact Hand Microphone

Select from 5 levels of mic gain, for clearer transmission.

GPS Receiver Connection

With optional D-SUB 25-pin ACC cable OPC-2078, an external GPS receiver or PC can be connected.

Note:No Digital Modulation "IN" using accessory cables.

8-Character LCD

An 8-character alphanumeric LCD with user-friendly icons shows a variety of information and operating status such as caller's name, received message, etc.

Large Programmable Buttons

For easy access to often used functions, P0-P3 buttons are programmable to meet specific needs. Buttons and LCD display are backlit for night time opeartion.

Powerful, Front-Facing Speaker

4 watts (typ.) front facing speaker delivers clear and loud audio throughout a vehicle's cabin. Digital modulation adds distinct clarity to received voices.

IDAS™ Digital Mode Operation

The IC-F5121D series provides NXDN™ CAI-based IDAS digital mode operation. It is also compatible with IDAS multi-site conventional and IDAS single-site trunking. The following IDAS features are programmable.

  • PTT ID
  • Individual/Talkgroup list (Max. 500)
  • RAN (Radio Access Number)
  • Status
  • SDM (Short Data Message)
  • Call alert
  • Radio check (RX)
  • Stun/kill/revive (RX)
  • Remote monitor (RX)
  • Emergency (No ACK)
  • Digital voice scrambler
  • GPS data (PC and software required to show received position data)

Built-in 2-Tone and 5-Tone (Analog mode)

2-Tone and 5-Tone signalings give you selective calling, quiet stand-by and other convenient functions with programming. The stun/kill functions disable a radio over the air and the revive function restores the stunned radio.

MDC 1200 Compatible (Analog mode)

The following MDC features are available with the built-in MDC signaling.

  • PTT ID
  • Radio check (RX)
  • Emergency (No ACK)
  • Stun/Revive (RX)
  • 500 alias table (Max.)

Scan Features

The priority scan allows you to monitor one or two priority channels while scanning other non-priority channels. The TX channel and talk back functions allow you to make a quick response while scanning.

Lone Worker Function

When the radio is not operated for a preset period, a warning beep will sound, alerting the radio user to check in. If the radio user does not check in before the preset time runs out, then the radio automatically sends out an emergency signal.

Optional Active Noise Canceling Microphone

The optional active noise canceling microphone HM-211 can automatically reduce noise in extremely noisy environments and assist in transmitting clear and accurate audio.
