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.
