Tough construction

The green polycarbonate front panel and aluminum die-cast chassis

provide durability. The 54(W)×132(H)×35(D)mm* compact ergonomic

body is easy for carrying anywhere.

* 21⁄8(W)×53⁄16(H)×13⁄8(D)in.

16 button keypad for easy-to-access functions

The function guidance is labeled on the 16 buttons. It’s easy to

manage all of the functions equipped on the IC-V8 by pushing the

Function key and shortcut keys. In addition, a channel number or

an operating frequency can be entered from the keypad directly.

Powerful 5.5W of output power

The IC-V8 generates a powerful 5.5W output with Ni-Cd or Ni-MH

battery packs, ensuring you a wide communication range.

Reversible up/down switches and rotary selector

Channel selection, volume, squelch and subaudible tones can be

assigned to the up/down switches or rotary selector at your convenience.

5-character alphanumeric display

Letters and numeral character names provide easy recognition of

each channel. S-meter, output power, power save, keylock, tone

and duplex setting icons show various operating status at glance.

100 memory channels and one call channel

Up to 100 of your favorite frequencies can be stored into the memory

with channel name, tone, output power and duplex setting. Furthermore,

one call channel provides one touch channel access for a

frequently used frequency.

CTCSS and DTCS operation standard

50 CTCSS and 104×2 DTCS tone squelch operation codes (encoder

and decoder) provide quiet standby and allow you to access

closed repeater. Pocket beep keeps track of calls, and tone scan

detects the subaudible tone in the receiving signals.

Standard DTMF encoder and optional DTMF decoder

5 DTMF memory channels with up to 24 DTMF codes allow remote

operation. The optional DTMF decoder unit, UT-108, provides code

squelch operation and pager function.
