ICOM - F22SR two-way radio (3)
Radio communication specialists Icom (UK) Ltd are pleased to announce details of the new IC-F22SR UHF transceiver. Designed to meet the demands of the licence free PMR 446 service, the IC-F22SR is aimed specifically at the commercial user or outdoor activity enthusiast who requires a more robust product.
The IC-F22SR offers maximum flexibility and instant communication between members of a group in and around buildings and over short distances. This makes it the ideal tool for a huge number of users involved in construction, catering, event management, neighbourhood watch, factories, farms as well as orienteering, walking or rambling, etc, etc.
Simplicity is the key behind the design of this new transceiver so users will require little training. There are only three controls; transmit button, volume control and channel selector. This simple interface makes it ideal for high turnover environments and shift work where the radio is constantly passed from person to person.
For the retail environment, the IC-F22SR is especially useful, allowing management and employees to keep in touch without the interruption of a public address system or the expense and complication of a mobile phone. Customer enquiries, inventory checks and special goods handling can be speeded up, providing better service to customers and increasing productivity.
The IC-F22SR is extremely lightweight and easy to carry. With a slim-line, curved casing the transceiver fits comfortably in the hand. Durability has been built in as the new series meets tough US Military standards, MIL-810C, D and E for shock and vibration. These factors combine to provide high reliability, even in the toughest environments.
The IC-F22SR delivers all 8 of the new UHF channels and a built in CTCSS signalling capability allows for more privacy in conversation.Channel searching is easy for the user because the radio automatically does it for you. The IC-F22SR has an auto-channel selection function to find a free channel. The radio also has a group call function that allows exclusive groups to use the equipment without interference from each other. A ringer function gains the user’s attention, which adds a spot of familiarity for first time users and a Smart Ring function lets you know whether the recipient has received your call.
Each radio is supplied with a rechargeable battery, drop in charger, belt clip and comprehensive handbook. To give added confidence the IC-F22SR has a 2-year warranty. A full range of accessories is also available.
Ian Lockyer, Marketing Executive for Icom (UK) Ltd said, 'The IC-F22SR is the ideal solution for a broad spectrum of users who quite simply need economical, instant two-way communications. It will improve the service that users provide to their customers and ultimately lead to greater profitability.'
