HF TRANSCEIVER IC-F7000

Advanced selective call and ALE make HF

communication easier than ever!
The IC-F7000 is an HF land mobile transceiver
especially designed for long distance communications.
Such communications used to require specially skilled
operators, but the IC-F7000 makes HF LMR operation
simple and efficient with the following advanced
functions and features.
Selective call
Uses a unique calling address like a telephone number and allows you to
make a call directly to a desired station or group. Compatible with other
brands of radios.

be installed almost anywhere. Selective beacon call
SPECIFICATIONS Selective beacon call allows you to check the propagation before an individual/ group call.
SPECIFICATIONS The receiving station sends back an ACK signal and continues scanning.
