NEWdigital technology opens up 16 additional licence free channels.
Using the latest 6.25kHz ultra narrow digital voice technologies, the IC-F4029SDR bring users digital clarity, razor sharp signalling performance and access to less congested digital licence free channels.
The IC-4029SDR utilises 4FSK/FDMA modulation and 6.25kHz digital narrow channel spacing, which uses half the channel spacing of the existing analogue PMR 446 system. This way, the 100kHz band width allocated for digital licence free is efficiently divided into 16 channels (or twice the current analogue voice channel capacity) making this product incredibly spectrum efficient. The digital technology and efficient use of the 6.25kHz digital narrow channel spacing makes eavesdropping by current scanner/receivers virtually impossible. As there are no other competing radios at present, initial users will have a high level of security in digital voice communication mode.
The IC-F4029SDR is compatible with Motorola & Kenwood's current range of analogue licence free products. It can be used on existing analogue licence free channels by changing channel settings. This provides any organisation with an upgrade path from analogue licence free to digital licence free one unit. Being analogue / digital compatible, any business or private users currently using analogue PMR446 can begin replacing their analogue radios with IC-F4029SDR and enjoy digital quality as well as relief from the congested spectrum.
The IC-F4029SDR allows status messages to be sent and received which provides discrete and effective communications. Up to 16-character messages and 6 types of ring alert tones are programmable for each message. The rugged aluminium die-cast chassis and polycarbonate casing of the IC-F4029SDR is designed for durability and shares accessories with the IC-F3022/F4022 and IC-F3062/F4062 series. The IC-F4029SDR is supplied with a standard high capacity Li-Ion battery pack and desktop rapid charger and comes with a 2-year warranty.
