50th Anniversary Limited Edition Radios

by

7850

For 50 years, Icom has brought innovative technology to the radio industry. We mark the anniversary by releasing two new models with limited, special edition features. The IC-7850 50th Anniversary edition transceiver packs every ounce of high tech components Icom has developed. It includes an optimized roofing filter that has been engineered to greatly improve signal performance, an improved local oscillator which is the benchmark for improved phase noise, and the unit incorporates a dedicated DSP for the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrum scope that enables the operator to sweep faster than even the IC-7800 model. There’s a very limited 150 units being released for the IC-7850 so act quickly and have a part of Icom history. Read More...

Last month, P25 celebrated the 25th year since the initial conference that launched the future of public safety communications technology.
