VHF/UHF FM TRANSCEIVER

iE208

Powerful 55W/50W output power

Individual MOS-FET power amplifier modules supply the power for Icom’s most powerful dual band mobile with 55W/50W

(VHF/UHF). Stable power for long distance communications plus reduced power settings (15/5W) for local communications.

Wideband receiver

See why Icom has a world renowned reputation for superb wideband receivers with the IC-E208. The IC-E208 wideband receiver covers 118–173, 230–549 and 810–999MHz as standard*. Listen to your Amateur VHF/UHF bands, as well as aviation, marine, and other utility communications in a compact mobile package. Extends your mobile radio enjoyment!

* Depending on version.

Detachable front panel

Limited installation space is no problem with the IC-E208. The separation cable, OPC-600R, is supplied with the radio allowing the compact remote control head* to be installed almost anywhere.

500 alphanumeric memory channels

With this much memory, you can fill your IC-E208 with your favorite frequencies and operation settings such as output power, tone, and more! Then name each memory channel with up to 6 characters for quick channel identification.

Improved Dynamic Memory Scan (DMS) system

The improved DMS system allows you to scan all the selected banks you want to scan by simply adding/deleting bank links with

Icom’s exclusive Bank Link system. Yet another convenient feature to make the IC-E208 a more practical radio.

User friendly design

The large multi-function tuning knob provides intuitive channel tuning or band hopping. The multicolor display lighting and backlit buttons adds a new ‘fun’ dimension to operating the IC-E208.

HM-133, remote control microphone

The supplied HM-133 remote control microphone allows you to control almost every function of the IC-E208 from the mic.
