Icom offers new paging function in F50V and F60V radios

As you probably already know, the new FCC Narrowband regulations take effect January 1, 2013. Unfortunately, older paging systems currently operate on 25KHz wideband. This means that these legacy paging systems, which are still widely used in a number of fields, will no longer be legal to operate.

Fortunately, Icom has come to the rescue. Icom recently updated the firmware on their IC-F50V/F60V business two way radios and added a new feature - a powerful paging function! This new firmware allows the F50V and F60V radios to be programmed with the popular Fire/EMS paging function, combining both a radio and pager into one handy communications device. When activated, the paging feature utilizes a vibration/audible tone alert much like traditional pagers use. Listen to an audio sample of the paging alert in action.

Programming the radios for the paging feature with the new firmware installed will also require a new version of the programming software. Older programming software will not program the paging function. Not to worry. Simply give us a call at 1-800-584-1445 and we can arrange to both update the firmware and program your radios for a nominal fee. Better yet, if you purchased your Icom IC-F50V or IC-F60V radios from us at Buy Two Way Radios, we'll do it free!
