ICOM IC-V80E VHF FM Handheld Transceiver. Rugged and Basic 2M with Powerful Audio!
Icom radios are built tough, and the IC-V80/E - Icom's most economical 2M - is no exception. This military rugged rig offers water resistance and superior protection against dust and dirt (IP54). Compact, rugged and with plenty of power, the IC-V80/E is ideal for basic, on-the-go ham operations.
The IC-V80/E uses the BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the audio output. The 36mm large speaker delivers 750mW of loud and intelligible audio*. Great for noisy environments.
* Typical value using with internal speaker.
The IC-V80/E offers a just-right mix of power and size. 5.5 watts of high power will work to get your message through. Get up to 19 hours* of operating time with the Li-ion battery pack (BP-265) or 13 hours with the Ni-MH (BP-264). All that power comes is an easy to hold and use size - not too big, not too small.
* Typical operation. 5:5:90 duty cycle with power save on.
The dust protection and water-resistance equivalent to IP54 provides reliable operation for practical outdoor operation. The IC-V80/E tested to and passed 11 categories of MIL-STD-810 environmental tests.
