65 W Powerful RF Output Power
The IC-V3500 is a rugged 2 m mobile transceiver providing powerful 65 W of output power. The output power level is selectable in four steps, and the selected power is displayed.
High-Visible Black Inverted Display for Operational Ease
The IC-V3500 Black Edition brings enhanced visibility with its black inverted LCD. The dark display background provides improved contrast for easier viewing. Whether you're operating during the day or at night, the Black Edition's display ensures you can clearly read frequency, channel information, and settings. The bottom of the display indicates the available functions of the front panel buttons directly below the display.
4.5 W Loud and Clear Audio Output
The IC-V3500 provides a Class-leading 4.5 W audio output, ensuring clear, loud reception from the built-in speaker, with enhanced frequency response for excellent voice clarity.
Instant Volume Control and Mute Functions
Instant Volume Control and Mute Functions temporarily boost the volume to a preset level with one simple operation. The function can also serve as a one-touch mute by presetting the volume to zero.
Emergency Call and Alert Functions
During emergencies, the emergency call function transmits alternating emergency beeps and live microphone audio to alert the receiver. At the same time, the IC-V3500 speaker sounds an alarm to notify people around you.

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 |
