Government, army, or blue light organisations for many years have occupied the VHF low band range. However in recent years, these users have moved to other band ranges that use digital systems. This has left the band open to new users such as public utilities and transport companies. Icom now have a product to take advantage of this market opportunity. The IC-F31GT-L/GS-L (66-88MHz) VHF low band handheld inherits not only the rounded stylish design and durable construction, but also the multiple features that have made the IC-F31/41 GT/GS series a success. We are confident that this low band transceiver will satisfy those users who require a high-grade handheld transceiver.
