Most popular signalings built-in

The 2-Tone, 5-Tone, CTCSS, DTCS and MDC signaling capabilities are built-in for group communication or selective calling. The radio can decode ten 2-Tone codes or eight 5-Tone codes on a channel. When a matched tone is received, the following actions are programmable for each code.

  • Beep sound
  • Bell icon
  • Answer back call
  • Auto TX
  • Radio stun/kill/revive
  • Scan

MDC 1200 Compatible

The following selective calling and ANI features are available with the built-in MDC signaling.

  • PTT ID
  • SelCall
  • Radio check
  • Radio stun/revive
  • 500 Aliases
  • Status message/request
  • Call alert
  • Emergency, emergency mic monitoring

Voting mode scanning

The voting mode scanning detects the signal strength level of repeater stations and automatically selects the strongest station, useful for roaming between 2 or more repeater sites. Once you program the voting mode to a memory zone, you can easily start voting mode operation by changing the zone setting.

Full dot-matrix LCD

Using a large full dot-matrix LCD (32 18 mm), the IC-F3161/D series shows upper and lower case characters clearly. The display setting is selectable from 1 line, 12 characters or 2 lines 24 characters via programming. The bottom row shows assigned functions to the [P0] to [P3] buttons.

Enhanced audio

The IC-F3161/D series employs a BTL amplifier that increases the audio output and the built-in audio compander provides clear, low noise communications.

Lone worker function

When the radio is not operated for a preset period, a beep sounds and a button push is required. If no button is pushed within that preset time, an emergency signal automatically transmits and alerts your co-worker or dispatcher to any potential trouble.

Built-in inversion-type voice scrambler

The built-in inversion type voice scrambler* provides secure conversation as standard. When a more secure system is required, the 32 code non-rolling-type voice scrambler UT-109R and 1020 code rolling type UT-110R are available as an option.

*Inversion type voice scrambler is not compatible with UT-109/UT-110 voice scrambler.
