VHF AND UHF REPEATERS

iFR5000 iFR5100

iFR6000 iFR6100

Icom proudly announces the debut of the new repeater, IC-FR5000/IC-FR6000 series. The IC-FR5000 series is designed as a mid to low tier class repeater, providing superior cost performance, while having excellent basic analog radio performance. The IC-FR5000/FR6000 series is the first Icom IDAS 6.25kHz digital capable repeater, in addition to the IC-F3160, F5060 series radios. The IDAS system increases existing 12.5kHz channel capacity and offers easy migration from analog to digital.
The IDAS (Icom Digital Advanced System) is a digital land mobile radio system for business and industry, using the jointly-developed NXDN digital modulation and common air interface protocol.

IDAS DIGITAL FEATURES

Digital/analog mixed mode operation
The IDAS radio (including repeater) can receive both analog mode and digital mode signals on a single channel. You can partially introduce the IDAS digital radios, while using the existing analog radios in a system. The IDAS system allows you to scale migration to narrow band digital at your own pace and need, while running your existing analog system. A cost efficient way to obtain the next generation in two way radio technology.

Double your channel capacity

The IDAS system utilizes 6.25kHz narrow channel spacing, which when in a 12.5kHz channel, you can create two offset 6.25kHz channels. (i.e. doubling the channel efficiency and capacity.) You can use these channels, for example, in a one for voice and one for data communication configuration.

Network interface (Planned)

The IDAS repeater will have a network interface and will be able to be connected to a LAN or the Internet via Ethernet cable. Communication range will be vastly extended by the Internet connection and will eliminate the needs of expensive leased lines. When connected to a PC via a LAN or the Internet, you can remotely operate (transmit and receive) the repeater as a dispatch station and/or remotely maintain the repeater configuration from your PC.

Network interface

Digital trunking (Planned)

The repeater will also have digital trunking capability in the near future. This will allow you effective channel management by sharing multiple channels with a large number of users.

Digital voice for clear audio

The IDAS radio uses the AMBE+2 codec providing crisp and clear communication and simultaneous data communication.

Selective call, group call and talk group ID

The IDAS system allows you to call individual or group users. The talk group ID shows group ID, unit ID or alias name on the display while receiving* a message.
* This function is similar to the analog mode PTT ID function, however, the IDAS radio can keep sending ID information during a voice transmission, so the receiving IDAS radio can decode the ID even when breaking into a conversation. (Late entry is possible)

Data communication
The IDAS system allows you 4800 bps* data communication. You can send a data message or GPS position data without an external data modem.
*Error correction, control data, etc, will reduce number of bits available for actual data communication.

Digital voice encryption

The IDAS system provides a secure communication using 15-bit key (about 32,000 keys) encryption.

RAN (Radio Access Number) for digital code squelch

The RAN code provides a digital code for accessing the IDAS repeater or digital code squelch function.

Other functions (Subscriber units only)

Status call/request Radio check Call alert Remote radio stun/kill/revive Emergency call Call log Remote radio monitor ... Remotely turns on the PTT and transmits anything the microphone hears for a preprogrammed time period. Data call ... send and receive a data communication Simultaneous data call ... Send and receive a data such as GPS position information with a voice transmission

REPEATER FEATURES 25W, 50W versions, high duty cycle operation

Employing an effective cooling fan and high performance power amplifier, the IC-FR5000/FR6000 provides a stable 50W at 50% duty operation. And the IC-FR5100/FR6100 provides 25W output at 100% duty operation.

19-inch rack mount, 2U height low profile design

The IC-FR5000 series has a rack mount bracket and handles for installation in an industry standard 19-inch rack. A 2U height configuration allows you to stack multiple units in a rack.

Two RF modules in one unit

The IC-FR5000 series has an internal space for installing another RF unit, the optional UR-FR5000 series. Two RF modules can be installed in the chassis and reduces installation space, while the RF modules can be programmed and operated independently.

Two RF units can be installed in the unit. (Left side is an option.)

Multiple-table
The IC-FR5000 series detects multiple CTCSS, DTCS tone and digital RAN (Radio Access Number) code on a channel (up to 16 tones/codes on a table) and downlinks (transmits) the received signal with a specified tone. This function is useful for sharing a channel with multiple groups and provides quiet stand-by while using other groups.

Multiple-table

5-Tone encoder/decoder

Group A CTCSS=88.5Hz

Group B DTCS=023N

Group C CTCSS=151.4Hz

When a preprogrammed 5-tone signal is received, the IC-FR5000 series starts and/or finishes repeater operation (downlinking).

D-SUB 25-pin accessory connector

The IC-FR5000 series has a D-SUB 25-pin accessory connector for connecting LTR/PassPort trunking* controllers or other external devices. An operating channel can be controlled by the input signal from the D-SUB 25-pin connector. * Analog mode only.

Dot matrix, multi-function LCD

A dot matrix LCD is employed for the function display. Up to 12 characters can be displayed. There are 5 programmable buttons on the front panel allowing you to use the repeater as a base station.

32 memory channels
The IC-FR5000 series has 32 memory channels. Each memory channel stores a 12-character channel name, digital/analog channel spacing, repeater/base operation etc, as well as frequency setting.

Voice scrambler
The IC-FR5000 series has a built-in inversion type* voice scrambler. When a more secure voice scrambler system is required, the optional UT-109R/UT-110R* is also available.
* The inversion type voice scrambler and UT-109R/UT-110R voice scrambler is for analog mode only.

CW ID transmission function*
Own CW ID code or callsign can be sent at preprogrammed intervals. The ID code can be used for identifying the repeater. * Analog mode transmission only.

Other features
Audio compander reduces background noise Wide frequency coverage (136174MHz, 400470MHz and 450520MHz) High frequency stability (0.5ppm) PTT priority setting (Local mic, External PTT or Repeater operation) Low voltage alert Convenient key assign stickers supplied -3-
