Icom IC-F1000S, Waterproof 128 Channel VHF Radio

With LCD screen, motion sensor, and MDC1200 compatibility.

Overview

The Icom IC-F1000S is a compact, waterproof VHF handheld radio designed for rugged environments, including construction, event security, councils, and field operations. Built to IP67 standards, it withstands immersion in 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes and is completely dust-tight, ideal for wet, dirty, and unpredictable work conditions.

Despite its slim 24.5mm profile, this radio packs serious capability: a clear LCD screen, 128-channel capacity, secure voice scrambler, and loud 800mW audio for clear communication even in high-noise areas. A built-in motion sensor supports man down, lone worker, and emergency alerts, improving worker safety. It's also compatible with MDC1200 signalling, ideal for fleets requiring status messaging, PTT ID, or remote stun/revive functionality.

Key Features

  • IP67 waterproof and dustproof means it withstands submersion and harsh outdoor conditions.
  • Loud 800mW audio output means clear communication in noisy environments.
  • Built-in motion sensor means support for man down, lone worker, and emergency alerts.
  • Inversion voice scrambler means up to 16 secure codes for protected communication.
  • 128 channels means full-featured channel management with channel announcement function.
  • MDC1200 compatible means PTT ID, emergency, stun/revive, status messaging, and alias display.
  • 14 hours operating time means the supplied waterproof battery provides extended use.
