ICOM IC-V3500
65 W Powerful RF Output Power
The Icom IC-V3500 is a rugged 2 m mobile transceiver providing powerful 65 W* of output power. Its large heatsink maintains stable output even during continuous transmission.
* Output power differs depending on version and specific regulatory requirements.
Modern White Display and Simple Operation
While the Icom IC-V3500 retains a simple user interface despite additional function updates for an easy to use radio. The white LCD backlight offers a better readability suitable for mobile operation. The bottom of the display indicates the available functions of the front panel buttons directly below the display.
4.5 W Loud and Clear Audio Output
The Icom IC-V3500 provides class-leading 4.5 W loud audio from the built-in speaker. By improving the frequency response of the speaker and increasing opening slit, the voice is clearly audible and easy to hear.
Instant Volume Loud and Mute Functions
You can temporarily change the volume to a preset level with a simple operation. It can be used as a One-touch mute function by preset volume to zero.
Emergency Call and Alert Functions
In the case of an emergency, the emergency call function alternatively sends an emergency beep and hot microphone audio to let the receiver to know that an emergency has occurred. At the same time, an emergency alarm sounds from the IC-V3500 speaker to notify the people around you of your existence and situation.
