IC-2820H
Dual Band FM Transceiver
Quality analog fundamentals,
futuristic digital capability now!
Wideband receiver with
simultaneous receive capability
The IC-2820H receives 118–549.995 and 810-
999.990MHz* with dualwatch receiver capability
that allows you to receive* two bands simultaneously
(including within a single band). Almost all VHF& UHF communications are available to you!
* See specifications for receive range coverage.
Diversity receive capability
If you have two antennas, diversity receive* capability is useful for mobile operation where
the received signal strength changes continuously.
Within a single band, the radio compares
signal strength from each antenna and chooses
the better signal to maintain good
sound and receive quality.
* Available on 127, 136, 146, 375, 440, 500MHz bands in FM,
FM-N, DV mode only.
50W output power
on both VHF and UHF bands
A MOSFET power amplifier provides a powerful
50W on both the 2m and 70cm bands, making
this compact rig’s signal travel for miles! Output
power is selectable in 3 steps.
User-friendly operation
The large 93×28 mm (321/32 ×13/32 in) full dot matrix
display presents an easy-to-read graphical interface, viewable over a wide angle. Push
the “Function” button to call up the assigned
functions menu on the display. In addition, tuning
knobs and buttons for each band are arranged
side-by-side, providing intuitive operation.
Separate controller
from main unit
The controller is separated from the main unit
for flexible installation. The controller has magnets
on the rear panel, allowing you to attach
the controller to the main unit or other metal objects.
This makes clean and neat installation
easy! A 3.4m separation cable, OPC-1663, and
a short cable (10cm), OPC-1712, are included.
522 memory channels
The IC-2820H has a total of 522 memory
channels, 500 regular channels, 2 call channels
and 20 scan edge channels. Each memory
channel stores tone frequency, skip information
and so on. The Dynamic Memory Scan (DMS)
system divides these memories into 26 groups,
A to Z, and provides easy channel selection.
Of course, bank scanning is also possible.
Band scope function
The band scope function lets you watch conditions
near the receiving frequency and visually
assists in finding other stations.
Other features
- ±2.5ppm high frequency stability with TCXO unit
- Green to amber variable display background color
- 104×2 DTCS/50 CTCSS tone squelch operation
- Max. 45 channel/sec. high speed scan capability in
programmed scanning mode
- 9600bps packet terminal, mini DIN (6-pin) connector
- Long or short squelch delay
- Automatic attenuator
- FM narrow capability
- Sub-band auto mute function
- 16 DTMF memory channels (24 digits)
- DTMF pager and code squelch function
- Auto power off
- Auto repeater function (USA version only)
- DTMF remote control function (USA version only)
- Weather channel with weather alert function
(USA and EXP versions only)
D-STAR DV mode + GPS receiver
The optional UT-123 provides D-STAR DV
mode operation plus GPS receiver capability.
Your location information can be sent simultaneously
with the digital voice transmission.
Location information exchange
The IC-2820H sends your location information either
when the mic PTT switch is pushed, or at
a preset interval (5 seconds–30 minutes). When
available from a calling station, the IC-2820H displays
the distance and direction to the station.
GPS alarm
The GPS alarm alerts you by beeping when a
preprogrammed point is within 500m or 1km
range from your location or anyone of preprogrammed
points is within a preset square range.
GPS location tracking
When connected to a PC* via the optional
RS-232C cable, OPC-1529R, your own or the
received location information can be plotted by
map software* on a PC.
* Serial port and map software (NMEA 0183) are required.
One touch reply function
The one-touch reply function makes it easy to
respond to a calling station instantly. In addition,
up to 20 received callsigns are automatically
stored as received call records.
Built-in voice recorder
and auto reply function
The built-in voice recorder* records an incoming
call for up to 30-seconds (approx.), (or 15 sec.× 2 tracks, 10 sec. × 3 tracks). The 10 sec. transmit
memory allows you to record your callsign or
other message, and also automatically answers
when you receive a message.
* Available in DV mode only
Low-speed data communication
When connected to a PC* via the optional
data cable, OPC-1529R, the data communication
is available simultaneously with a digital
voice transmission.
* Serial port and serial communication software are required.
DX communication
over the D-STAR system
D-STAR repeaters for 144 and 440MHz are
now available, allowing cross-band (144/440/1200
MHz) operation and long distance communication
via the Internet over the D-STAR system.
