Programming
The Icom IC-F2000 is supplied un-programmed as standard. It’s kind of like a computer without an operating system. It just wouldn’t work. But don’t worry… we can program the IC-F2000 as follows:
- To match your ACMA licence as a new fleet: If you’ve bought an ACMA licence recently and don’t have any radios, we can program your new fleet to the frequency the ACMA has assigned you.
- To match your existing radios: Assuming you have an ACMA licence for your existing radios, we can program your new IC-F2000 to match your existing radios.
- Completely Customized Programming: This option covers everything else. Why not call us to discuss your programming requirements.
UHF CB Not Available On This Radio: The Icom IC-F2000 can not be programmed to UHF CB channels as it’s not type approved. If you would like a UHF-CB compatible IC-F2000-series radio, see Icom IC-41PRO (which is almost the same as an IC-F2000T but pre-programmed and locked to UHF CB channels).
Do you need an ACMA licence? Contact us for further information and advice on ACMA licensing.
Do you want to program yourself? You can. Icom IC-F2000, like almost all two-way radios, has some optional programming software and a programming cable that can be purchased for a small additional fee.
