VHF/UHF DIGITAL TRANSCEIVERS
IC-F16
IC-F26
Built to Last, Built to Work!
- VHF/Rotary type IC-F16
- UHF/Rotary type IC-F26
Tough and Reliable Construction
The IC-F16 series is built around an aluminum die-cast chassis and covered with a tough polycarbonate casing. This radio is built to last. Its dual slide rail securely locks the battery to the radio. The belt clip is clamped between the radio and the battery, making it nearly impossible to knock loose.
Simple Operation
Having only 3 buttons, one volume and one channel knob, the IC-F16 series does not require special training to use. Positive button action for sure operation even when wearing gloves allows you to get down to the business of communicating without fuss.
Optional Board
The IC-F16 series has an expansion socket for adding an optional board. Voice scrambler, man down and DTMF decoder features are available, depending on the installed board.
Most Popular Signalings Built-in
Use the built-in 2-Tone, 5-Tone, CTCSS and DTCS capabilities as standard to set up your own talk groups and quiet stand-by when others are talking.
Long Use even in Extreme Cold
Supplied 2300 mAh (typ.) Li-ion battery pack, BP-232H has superior electrochemical characteristics even in extremely cold areas. It provides stable output for longer while having less voltage reduction at low temperatures.

CloseCloseIngress Protection (IP) Code
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings define the level of protection provided by enclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects (dust) and liquid into the electrical equipment.
International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealing characteristics of electrical equipment.
The classification system uses the “IP” code, or “Ingress Protection” code, to define the level of seal.
An IP number contains two numbers (i.e. IP67) in most instances which relate to the level of protection provided by an enclosure or housing.
Either number may be shown as “X” (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate the “X” part is not tested.
Degrees of Solid Particle Protection – 1st Digit
| IP6x | No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact. (Dust tight) |
|---|---|
| IP5x | Protected from the amount of dust that would interfere with normal operation. (Dust protected) |
Degrees of Liquid Ingress Protection – 2nd Digit
| IPx8 | Protected against continuous immersion in water. Depth and duration specified by model. |
|---|---|
| IPx7 | Protected against temporary immersion in water for 1 m (3.3 ft) for 30 minutes |
| IPx6 | Protected against water projected by powerful jets from any direction. 100 L per minute by a powerful jets (12.5 mm) for 3 minutes. |
| IPx5 | Protected against water projected by jets from any direction. 12.5 L per minute by a nozzle (6.3 mm) for 3 minutes. |
| IPx4 | Protected against water splashed against the equipment from any direction |
