• The IC-E80D is compatible with the D-STAR* format and provide DV mode operation with an AMBE® codec. 950bps (approx.) slow data can be sent simultaneously with the digital voice transmission.
• The IC-E80D can store up to 300 channels/callsigns in the repeater list. Each channel memorizes a repeater frequency, duplex direction, offset frequency, callsign, gateway callsign and RPT1 (Repeater 1) use setting. The RPT1 use setting is a convenient function to flag an often used uplink D-STAR repeater to access. The access repeater scan finds an available D-STAR repeater from the RPT1 use repeater.
• The new DR (D-STAR repeater) mode operation makes it easier to access a D-STAR repeater. When GW (gateway) set is set to “Auto”, it only takes two steps to access the repeater.
• When connected to an external GPS receiver or GPS speaker-microphone (HM-189GPS for IC-E80D), the IC-E80D shows position data on the display and own and other station’s position information can be sent and received *. The IC-E80D can send the position data either by holding the PTT switch, or at a preset interval (5 seconds–30 minutes), depending on the setting. In addition, the GPS A mode assists in easy D-PRS mode operation, to send your position information to an APRS server from the D-STAR radio. *GPS data receive only is possible when no external GPS receiver or GPS speaker-microphone is attached.
• When connected to a PC* via the optional RS-232C cable, the position information can be plotted on mapping software* on a PC. * Serial port and position mapping software (NMEA 0183 format) are required.
• The GPS memory stores up to 50 received or user programmed position information with 6-character channel memory name. The GPS alarm sounds when your own position is close to the specified point or area.
• The IC-E80D provides VHF/UHF dual band capabilities (one band at a time) via a simple band switching system. The IC-E80D series covers 0.495–999.99MHz. *Receiver range depending on versions. See specification page.
• With the free of charge programming software, various settings can be made from a PC and the memory channels and other settings can be shared between IC-E80D and ID-E880.
• The IC-E80D has a total 1052 memory channels (including 1000 regular channels, 50 scan edges and 2 call channels) with 26 memory banks. All memory channels and program scan can be named with 8-character channel comments. A memory bank can be named with a 6-character bank name comment.
• The IC-E80D supports various scan types for maximum reception and ease of use. (Full scan, Selected band scan, Programmed scan, Memory scan, Memory mode scan, All bank scan, Selected bank scan, Bank link scan (DMS), Program scan link, Skip scan, Priority scan, Tone scan , Access repeater scan)
• Built-in CTCSS and DTCS tones are used for accessing a closed repeater or tone squelch operation. The pocket beep alerts you with a beep sound when the transceiver receives a preset tone. 1750Hz tone is also available.
• Monitor function to listen to a weak signal
• Variable tuning steps (IC-E80D: 14 steps)
• 16 DTMF memory channels (24 digits)
• Key lock function
• When used with the new GPS speaker-microphone, HM-189GPS, the IC-E80D shows your position data on the display and offers position reporting function in DV mode. The IC-E80D shows the direction to a memory position or to a received D-STAR station.
• The IC-E80D provides 5W (typ.) output power both in VHF/UHF bands. The supplied BP-217 provides up to 6 hours* of operating time. When you don’t need full power operation, you can reduce output power to 2.5/0.5/0.1W (typ.) for saving battery consumption.
• An external DC power jack allows for operation with an external DC power supply (10–16V DC). When used with the DC power cable simultaneous operation during charging is possible.
• The 4-direction cursor buttons on the keypad give you quick and intuitive access to many settings.
• 4 steps RF power selection (5W, 2.5W, 0.5W, 0.1W)
• Drip-resistant construction, equivalent to IPX4
• Auto power save, power off and power on
• 10dB (approx) built-in attenuator
• One touch reply function* (* Cannot call JA stations by using this function.)
• Digital code squelch
