Description
Flexible High-Gain VHF Portable Antenna
Heavy-duty 7-inch flexible rubber whip antenna for Icom F3400D and F7010 series VHF portable radios.
The Icom FAS83V is a high-performance, flexible VHF antenna specifically engineered for Icom professional-grade portable two-way radios operating within the 160–174 MHz frequency band. Featuring a 7-inch (180 mm) flexible rubber whip construction and a precision SMA Female (SMA-F) connector, this OEM antenna delivers extended signal coverage, high-gain transmission efficiency, and durability in demanding field environments.
Ideal for public safety officers, search and rescue personnel, and industrial fleet teams, the Icom FAS83V absorbs heavy impacts and bends under pressure to prevent antenna damage during active physical deployment. By providing an optimized radiation pattern compared to compact stubby antennas, it maximizes voice clarity and reduces signal dropouts across long-range commercial communications. When operating portable radios on licensed business or public safety channels, ensure your system complies with FCC Licensing guidelines.
