ICOM V-80

Tough Construction

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.

750mW loud audio

The IC-V80/E uses the BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the audio output. Every ham knows that power = current × voltage. The V80’s BTL increases the audio output by doubling the voltage delivered to the speaker.The 36mm large speaker delivers 750mW of loud and intelligible audio*. Great for noisy environments.
Typical value using with internal speaker.

Powerful 5.5W of Output Power

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.

IP54 and MIL-STD-810 rugged construction

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.

A total of 207 memory channels

The IC-V80/E has a total of 207 memory channels, including 200 regular channels, 6 channels, including 200 regular channels, 6 scan edges and 1 call channel. The channel name is programmable with 5 characters for easy recognition.

Built-in CTCSS/DTCS

The CTCSS and DTCS tone codes provide quiet stand-by and allow you to use tone-access repeaters. The pocket beep alerts you when a matching tone frequency is received. The tone scan detects the subaudible tone that is used for repeater access.

Internal VOX function

The IC-V80/E has internal VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) function for convenient hands-free operation with a compatible optional headset and plug adapter cable. Also, the VOX gain and VOX delay time are adjustable.
