CS-80/880 free download cloning software

The CS/880 free download cloning software is available from the Icom Inc (Japan) web site. Used with this software, various settings can be made from a PC and the memory channels and other settings can be shared between IC-80AD and its matching mobile unit, the ID-880H. Please download from http://www.icom.co.jp/world/support/download/firm/.

*Either OPC-1529R, OPC-478 or OPC-478UC optional cable is required.

1052 memory channels

The IC-80AD has a total of 1052 memory channels (including 1000 regular channels, 50 scan edges and 2 call channels) with 26 memory banks. All memory channels and the program scan can be named with 8-character channel comments. Also each memory bank can be named with a up-to 6-character bank name comment.

Multiple scan function

The IC-80AD supports various scan types for maximum reception and ease of use.

Full scan Selected band scan Programmed scan Memory scan Memory mode scan All bank scan Selected bank scan Bank link scan (DMS) Program scan link Skip scan Priority scan Tone scan Access repeater scan

Built-in CTCSS/DTCS encoder and decoder

Built-in CTCSS and DTCS tones are used for accessing a closed repeater or ton squelch operation. the pocket beep alerts you with a beep sound when the transceiver receives a preset tone. 1750Hz tone is also available.

Optional GPS speaker-microphone, HM-189GPS When used with the new GPS speaker-microphone, HM-189GPS, the IC-80AD shows your position data on the display and offers a position reporting function in DV mode. The IC-80AD shows the direction to a memory position or to a received D-STAR station.

5 Watts (typical) output The IC-80AD provides 5W (typical) output power both in VHF/UHF bands. The supplied BP-217 provides up to 6 hours* of operating time. When you don't need full power operation, you can reduce output power to 2.5/0.5/0.1W (typ.) for saving battery consumption *Tx high: Rx: Stand-by duty ratio= 1 min.: 1min.: 8 min. Power save on.

External DC power jack An external DC power jack allows for operation with an external DC power supply (10-16VA DC). When used with the DC power cable simultaneously operation during charging is possible.

Keypad navigation The 4-direction cursor buttons on the keypad give you quick and intuitive access to many settings.
