Icom IDAS Digital & Analog Two-Way Radio Series
Compact, IP67-rated, and feature-rich digital radios designed for uncompromising reliable communication in demanding professional environments.
The Icom F52D (VHF) and F62D (UHF) Series IDAS Digital Portable Two-Way Radios are rugged, high-performance communication tools built to withstand harsh daily use. Designed with a small and lightweight profile, these radios feature an IP67 dust-tight and waterproof rating, ensuring continuous operation even when exposed to water, dust, and extreme elements. With dual-mode operation, they support both legacy analog systems and modern IDAS/NXDN digital protocols, making them the perfect solution for fleets transitioning to digital platforms.
These radios are engineered for versatile deployment across government, marine, construction, event coordination, and forestry industries. Offering high capacity with 512 channels across 128 zones, and pushing a powerful 5 watts of output, the F52D and F62D guarantee wide-area coverage. Advanced built-in features such as Bluetooth, GPS, a vibrate profile, and voice recording capabilities provide operators with enhanced flexibility and situational awareness. For hazardous work environments with explosive atmospheres, the series offers the UL913-certified F52DUL and F62DUL intrinsically safe models.
Important Buying Note: To give buyers the flexibility to customize their fleet, these radios do not include an antenna or a charger. You must purchase the appropriate frequency-specific antenna and a compatible Icom charger separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Icom F52D and F62D radios come with a charger and antenna?
No, these radios do not include an antenna or a charging station out of the box. Because specific frequencies require specific antennas, you must purchase the correct antenna (VHF or UHF) and a compatible Icom charger separately.
What is the difference between the standard and UL versions?
The F52DUL and F62DUL are intrinsically safe models certified to UL913 standards for use in hazardous environments where explosive gases or combustible dust may be present. They must be used with the specific intrinsically safe battery (BP292UL) to maintain certification.
Can these radios operate in both analog and digital modes?
Yes, the F52D and F62D series support both traditional analog operation and IDAS/NXDN digital modes, allowing for a seamless transition from legacy analog fleets to modern digital communications.
