FEATURES

Lithium-Ion battery pack standard
The IC-F44G series is supplied with a Lithium-Ion battery pack, BP-231. An optional large capacity battery pack, BP-232 and economical type BP-230 are also available. Lithium-Ion batteries provide larger capacity and a longer operating time than a Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery pack and allows flexible charging without memory effect.

Small and lightweight body
The IC-F44G series sheds size and weight compared to the IC-F4G series, weighing is just 300g and measuring only 53×120×32.5mm*. The aluminum die-cast chassis and polycarbonate casing combination is redesigned to increase durability. A rugged dual-rail guide securely locks the battery to the back of the radio.

Wide frequency coverage
The IC-F44G series covers a wide frequency range with one version, and the Europe version, IC-F44GT/GS has wide, middle and narrow channel spacing (25, 20, 12.5kHz)* selectable per channel.
* Cannot program 25 and 20 kHz at the same time.

Alphanumeric LCD

For the function display, an 8-character 14 segment alphanumeric LCD is employed to make a variety of information visually recognizable at a glance. An automatic LCD backlight is standard for night time operation.

Multi 2-tone/5-tone function built-in
The IC-F44G series has built-in 2-Tone, 5-Tone, CTCSS and DTCS signaling capabilities for group communication or selective calling. The IC-F44G series can decode ten 2-tone codes or eight 5-tone codes on a channel. When a matched tone is received, many actions are programmable for each code such as answer back calls, beep sounds, bell icon, stun/kill, auto transmission, external out and so on.

256 memory channels and rotary channel knob
The IC-F44G series has a maximum 256 programmable channels with 16 banks. With a simple rotation of the rotary channel knob, memory channel selection can be made easily.

Programmable functions
Up to 8 programmable buttons, [P0]-[P3], [^], [v], [Monitor] and [Red button] can be assigned additional functions to meet a variety of requirements.

Voice scrambler function
The IC-F44G series has a built-in inversion type voice scrambler as standard. By installing an optional voice scrambler unit, UT-109 or UT-110, more secure communication is possible.
