UHF ONBOARD TRANSCEIVER IC-F61M

Pasted Graphic 1logo_std_IP67logo_std_millogo_std_waterproof

Compact and Waterproof Maritime Onboard Radio
Conforms to Maritime UHF onboard communication requirements
onboard_logoThe IC-F61M is especially developed for onboard communication and is pre-programmed with 9 UHF onboard channels*. Icom has also matched this radio's electrical specifications with the strict requirements of EN 300 720-2.
* 25kHz channel.
IP67, dust-tight and water-proof construction
ip67imgThe IC-F61M has outstanding protection against dust and water which is equivalent to IP67. The IC-F61M can withstand submersion in 1m depth of water for up to 30 minutes and has dust-tight construction that prevents the ingress of dust.
Compact body
The IC-F61M's compact dimensions of 56 (W) × 97 (H) × 36.4 (D) mm allow the IC-F61M to fit comfortably in your palm or shirt pocket.
Lithium-Ion battery pack standard
With the supplied 1700mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack, BP-227, the IC-F61M provides stable output power and a practical 9–10 hours* of operating time.
* Typical operation; Tx:Rx:Stand-by duty cycle=5:5:90
Built-in signalings
Without installing an optional logic board, the IC-F61M has 5-Tone, CTCSS, DTCS signaling capabilities* for group communication or selective calling.
* Ask your dealer for programming these signalings.
700mW audio output power
The IC-F61M uses a BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the audio output. As a result, it delivers 700mW of loud audio*.
* Internal speaker only.
Vibration alert function
When a pre-programmed 5-Tone signal is received, the vibration alert function alerts you by vibrating the radio. The vibration patterns are also programmable (4 patterns × one time/repeat).
Max. 8 minute voice recorder
The built-in the voice recorder records incoming calls up to a maximum of 8 minutes (Or up to 48 calls of 10 sec. recording time). When a pre-programmed 5-Tone signal is received, the voice recorder automatically starts recording the message.
Other features
  • 2-step low battery alert
  • Priority scan and dual priority scan
  • Mode dependent scan
  • Lone worker function
  • Optional waterproof speaker microphone, HM-169 (IP57)
  • Built-in audio compander
  • Optional VOX headset available
  • BTL only version (no vibration alert and no voice recorder) and BTL/Vibration alert version (no voice recorder) available*
* Not available in some countries.
