• Meets U.S. military standards (MIL STD) 810 C/D/E for shock and vibration
  Police radio tough! ICOM's FRS radio is built to withstand rough handling.
• Rotary type antenna
  Can be folded behind the radio when not in use
• "Call-Ring" function

  Sends a ring tone, like a phone or pager ring

  Up to ten different ring patterns let you know the identity of your caller before taking the call

• "Smart Ring" function
  lets you confirm whether or not a call has reached the receiving party (if they are using an IC-4008A), even if the person you're calling is temporarily away from the radio
• Group modes
  • 38 different codes "split up" each of the 14 FRS frequencies. Also known as CTCSS, or Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System
    
  • Helps weed out unwanted contacts
    
  • Allows the radio to remain in a Silent Standby mode. Only signals containing your group code can open the squelch, keeping the radio quiet while monitoring for communications
    
  • To use a group code, agree beforehand with each of member of your party on which code to use on one of the 14 channels. Example: "We'll contact each other on channel 6, code 22". Enter your settings into the IC-4008A and then use the radio's lock function to maintain the settings. The amount of unwanted calls will be drastically reduced
• ATS (Automatic TranSponder) function
  Like the "Smart Ring" function, this lets you confirm whether or not a call has reached the receiving party, but without a "Ring" tone
