Interoperability
The IC-F70D, F80D series is APCO Project 25 (P25) compliant. It ensures interoperability with other manufacturer’s P25 digital radios in conventional mode.
Mixed mode operation
The IC-F70D, F80D series is compatible with both analog FM mode and P25 digital mode. Program digital and/or analog FM modes per channel. The mixed mode scan allows you to detect and receive both analog FM and P25 digital modes and to transmit either mode depending on programming.
AES/DES digital encryption activation software
AES and DES are encryption standards required by public safety agencies. The IC-F70D, F80D series provides secure encryption with DES and AES accordingly when activated with EX-2785 J02 (for DES) and EX-2785 J03 (for AES) activation software. Versions certified to FIPS 140-2 level 1 for AES encryption are available.
Upgrade to digital option
The IC-F70D, F80D series is available in two digital versions. One version is P25 compliant out of the box. Version two is an analog only radio* that is future upgradeable to P25 digital compatibility– grow into digital with Icom.
