FM Portable Transceiver Small and light. Handy for use any time, whether outdoors, in a car or at home. With 3W output and a sensitive receiver, it can work as well as large transceivers when used in good locations or with high-performance antenna. Aluminum Die-cast Frame The IC-215 chassis and frame are integrated into an aluminum die-casting. It’s light but resistant to vibration or shock when carried. High mechanical performance is insured. 15 Channels The unit incorporates 15 channels to select from; 12 by channel selector and 3 by Function switch. Each channel (TX and RX) uses the standard ICOM crystal configuration. Dual Power Level Transmitter output can be switched easily in 2 steps; 3W output HI for long distances, and 0.5W LOW for short distances. Battery consumption is minimized in the Low Power Mode. Dial Illumination The dial can be illuminated to facilitate night operation. This is controlled by a selector switch. Power Pilot Lamp If the power source voltage drops under the required value, the pilot lamp goes out as an indication the batteries are almost exhausted or external power is inadequate. External Power and Antenna Terminals For fixed stations or car mounted use, terminals for both external power and antenna are provided. IC-20L and IC-3PS Our ten-watt linear amplifier IC-20L and AC power supply IC-3PS can be used in combination as a completed fixed station.
