2-3 IP Classification Codes
A simple explanation of the IP rating system is written below. Please refer to more specialized information
material if you wish to know more.
International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealing
characteristics of electrical equipment. The classification system defines the level of protection provided by
enclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects and moisture into the electrical equipment.
The classification system uses the IP code, or Ingress Protection code, to define the level of seal.
An IP number contains two numbers (i.e. IP67) in most instances which relate to the level of protection
provided by an enclosure or housing. Either number may be shown as X (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate the
X part is not tested.

Background Background Background Background
As existing spectrum becomes increasingly scarce, the
demand for more options grows. The FCC essentially
created additional spectrum by adding hundreds of new
licenses with 6.25 kHz bandwidth. To take advantage of
this opportunity, Icom and Kenwood entered into a joint
agreement to develop 6.25 kHz technology. This
technology is a new digital communications protocol that
provides quality voice and data, and is designed as a
non-proprietary protocol. It accomplishes this by using
4LFSK (4-Level Frequency Shift Keying) and FDMA
(Frequency Division Multiple Access).
History History History History
This technology was developed in response to an FCC
Other methods were also considered, including ACSB
and the proposed APCO Project 25 Phase II CQPSK.
However, both required a more expensive linear
amplifier in the transmitter and neither is compatible
with existing analog FM hardware.
Instead, 4LFSK modulation was selected using FDMA
for transmission. This method has a number of
advantages:
better communication range
simpler design
easy to maintain and service
lower cost for business and industry customers
compatible with existing FM radio hardware
9
This technology was developed in response to an FCC
revision of the rules concerning transmitters in the
150MHz to 174MHz and 421MHz to 512MHz range. To
receive FCC certification after January 1
st
2005,
transmitters must have proved compliant as a multi-
mode device. This requirement could be achieved by
using 6.25 kHz channel bandwidth. In addition to the
FCC requirement, Europe and Japan are also moving
toward 6.25 kHz technologies. Because some in the
industry believed that this requirement could not be met
by 2005, the FCC suspended this requirement. (A new
deadline of January 1
st
2011 has been set.)
Icom, however, went ahead to meet this requirement. It
was impossible to do using analog technology, so it
became necessary to develop a new digital protocol.
Icoms first radio with this technology is the
F3061/F4061. To enable backwards compatibility, the
radio is both analog and digital and also works in 25 kHz
and 12.5 kHz channel bandwidths (conventional and
LTR trunked operation in analog mode).
This new digital protocol, NXDN (Next Generation
Digital Narrowband) has been registered as a trademark
by Icom Inc. and Kenwood Corporation. The IDAS (Icom
Digital Advanced System) is the system based on this
NXDN technology.
The product range is steadily expanding , from Handheld
Transceivers to Mobile Transceivers to Repeaters. All
products are/will be available for VHF and UHF bands.
6.25 kHz FDMA Technology
Icoms has implemented this technology in the
F3161/F3163 series. Backwards compatibility to
analog only radios enables a planned migration path to
digital with existing radios operating analog only and
new radios operating analog and digital.

While most users are operating on 25 kHz channels,
they will have to migrate to 12.5 kHz bandwidth by
2013. Narrowband migration has not succeeded
because of any incentive to do so.
10
Codec Rate : 3600 (Voice 2,450 + Error
Correction 1,150 bps)
Modulation with 4LFSK uses a symbol mapping scheme.
When the radio receives a binary number, that number
is mapped to a symbol, which is interpreted as a
1050Hz frequency deviation.
The deviation is detected, filtered and unmapped as a
binary signal for transmission.
Range Range Range Range
Audio quality over distance is also greatly improved with
Icoms 6.25 kHz technology. Instead of the early
degradation of audio that you see in an analog signal,
the 6.25 kHz digital audio quality remains higher over a
comparable distance.
A channel is defined by the deviation either side of the
center line frequency. Migrating from a 25 kHz channel
to a 12.5 kHz channel on the same centerline frequency
is a 1-for-1 move. There is no increase in the capacity to
load radio users.
There are 500 new 6.25 kHz frequencies (VHF and UHF)
available now. Most are unused because no 6.25 kHz
radios were available. With Icoms FDMA technology,
frequency coordinators have total flexibility to either
assign a 6.25 kHz channel within an existing 25 kHz or
12.5 kHz channel or as a stand-alone frequency some
where else on the band. Frequency coordinator will
coordinate channels for minimum adjacent channel
interference.

500 unused 6.25 kHz

Because the emission mask is tight, 6.25 kHz channels can be used next to each other without causing
interference. The bandwidth measurements below show the 6.25kHz FDMA signal meets the FCC designated
emission mask requirements.

The figure on the left is the emission mask for a 6.25 kHz channel. The Icom 6.25kHz FDMA signal clearly
operates within the mask. Accordingly, the FCC certified the F3061/4061 as the first ever 6.25 kHz radio.
The figure on the right is the emission mask for a 12.5 kHz channel. With a 12.5 kHz channel, you can create
two offset 6.25 kHz channels.

NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: The double capacity example shown above may not apply to some countries depending on local regulations.
6.25 kHz FDMA makes twice the number of channels available within the same spectrum as shown below. This
is a real solution to meet expanding demand for spectrum every year.
With a 12.5 kHz channel, you can create two offset 6.25

Both 2-for-1 and 4-for-1 efficiencies may be realized by
splitting existing channels. Using 6.25 kHz channels
offset from the center of a 25 kHz channel, it is possible
to fit four 6.25 kHz channels into the 25 kHz bandwidth.
To do this, a waiver from the FCC is required*. Using this
scheme, the four frequencies are now offset 3.125 kHz
from the original 25 kHz channel center frequency.

The 2 outer frequencies are out of the 25 kHz channel
width. This provides license holders with a hedge
against losing that spectrum in 2013 when they will be
forced to 12.5 kHz.
Future Applications for 6.25kHz Technology Future Applications for 6.25kHz Technology Future Applications for 6.25kHz Technology Future Applications for 6.25kHz Technology
This new digital land mobile technology can be a
platform for future integration of IT/IP/VOIP
technologies. To this end, there are some initiatives
between a number of manufacturers to promote
6.25kHz technology more widely. An example is the
formation of the dPMR MoU in Europe, and the FCC in
the U.S.A. has recently proposed that system owners
consider switching to 6.25kHz technology where
possible. Japan and China are also considering
6.25kHz for future digital radio standards.

VHF Considerations* VHF Considerations* VHF Considerations* VHF Considerations*
VHF offers even more opportunities due to its original
30 kHz channel width plan. When the FCC moved to 25
kHz and then 12.5 kHz an overlap was created requiring
geographical separation between two contiguous
channels. For example, 3 contiguous could not be used
at the same location.
13
In this example, a gateway to the internet is attached
to each repeater. This enables networks to be built
using the internet as part of the infrastructure.
Integrated PC and Radio Integrated PC and Radio Integrated PC and Radio Integrated PC and Radio
Here, the PC is connected to the internet to
communicate through the remote repeater.
at the same location.
The VHF narrowband plan is 7.5 kHz channels, which
has eliminated the geographical separation
requirement. Tests have proven the Icom 6.25 kHz
signal can be used within a 7.5 kHz channel with no
interference to the adjacent channel.
Split a 25 kHz or 12.5 kHz Channel Split a 25 kHz or 12.5 kHz Channel Split a 25 kHz or 12.5 kHz Channel Split a 25 kHz or 12.5 kHz Channel
This is similar to the UHF application. With a 12.5 or 25
kHz channel, you can create two or four offset 6.25 kHz
channels. This may require a waiver from the FCC.
One 25 kHz Channel to Three 6.25 kHz Channels One 25 kHz Channel to Three 6.25 kHz Channels One 25 kHz Channel to Three 6.25 kHz Channels One 25 kHz Channel to Three 6.25 kHz Channels
A single 25 kHz channel can be converted to three 6.25
kHz channels, each operating within a 7.5 kHz channel.
2-5 Key Features of IDAS Signalling
The one of first radios of IDAS (Icom Digital Advanced System) family, the IC-
F3161D and IC-F4161D or other version of IC-F3160 series with the optional
UT-126H digital unit provides 6.25kHz digital communication that meets the
6.25kHz emission mask requirements for narrow banding, and increases
efficiency of channel allocation and use of spectrum. This enhances the
transceivers signalling capabilities with RAN (Radio Access Number), Selective
call, Call Alert and Emergency call functions. Icom's IDAS models easily
integrate into an existing analog system cost effectively, while providing the
advantages of Icom quality and value.

MDC 1200 system operation MDC 1200 system operation MDC 1200 system operation MDC 1200 system operation
The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your
transceivers capabilities. It allows PTT ID, Selective
Calling (SelCall), Call Alert, Radio Check, Stun, Revive,
Status, Messaging and Emergency signaling.
An additional feature of MDC 1200 system found in
Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on
the system has a unique ID number. Aliasing allows the
substitution of an alphanumeric name for this ID
number. For transmit, you can use this alias to select a
transceiver to call. For receive, the alias of the calling
station is displayed instead of the ID.
Please note that your dealer has set one of the
programmable keys ([EMR] [EMR] [EMR] [EMR], [Side1] [Side1] [Side1] [Side1], [Side2] [Side2] [Side2] [Side2], [Side3] [Side3] [Side3] [Side3],

4-3 2-Tone (LMR) Signalling
What is 2 What is 2 What is 2 What is 2- -- -Tone Signalling? Tone Signalling? Tone Signalling? Tone Signalling?
1. Originally called Quick Call, this signalling protocol
was developed by Motorola in the 1950s.
2. 2-Tone (Quick Call) was designed to add Squelch
specificity especially for emergency service radios.
3. LMR consists of two distinct signals sent over the air
to a radio or a group.
4. Each tone can be configured within a 250 Hz and
3300 Hz tone frequency.
in the proximity of the radio. This is also very useful
in emergency cases where the user may not be able
to trigger the microphone.
5. Stun/Kill This function allows the dispatch
console to disable, temporarily or permanently, a unit
using the 2-Tone capabilities. When Stun is used,
the unit may regain its functionality by entering a
password. When Kill is used, the radio only regains
functionality by reprogramming the unit using the
cloning software.

5. Normally, the duration of the tones varies from one
(1) to three (3) seconds in length no space between
the tones. Tone lengths of up to 10 seconds are
commonly seen in existing applications.
6. ICOM radios allow variable tone periods and spaces
(no tone) between the tones.
2 22 2- -- -Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features
1. Selective Calling allows the dispatch console to
page an individual unit. Early models only allowed 1
(one) encoding tone set per channel or up to 3
(three) receive tones in the radio. Newer ICOM radios
allows the programming of up to 10 (ten) tones that
can be used all in one channel if necessary.
2. Group Calling - allows the dispatch console to page
a group.
3. Answer Back Call Also known as Radio Check
allows the dispatch console or another portable, to
send a tone to a particular radio and when the target
radio receives the tone it answers back with another
tone. This function serves as a tool to verify if a unit
is ON and within range.
4. Auto Transmit Also known as Radio Spy allows
the dispatcher to send a 2-Tone signal to the radio
causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio
(Hot Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening
6. Scan Start/Cancel Using 2-Tone a dispatcher can
send a signal to a radio or a group to commence the
Scan function of the radio. If used with a group of
users, this feature allows the dispatcher to regroup
everyone in a different, but common channel. This
feature is also known as Radio Regroup.
ICOM ICOM ICOM ICOM 2 22 2- -- -Tone Tone Tone Tone Radio Enhancements include: Radio Enhancements include: Radio Enhancements include: Radio Enhancements include:
1. RX Code Text Allows the programmer to add an
Alpha Numeric text tag to each tone for
identification at decode and encode if the unit has a
display.
2. Variable Signals This allows the user/programmer
to set the Beep and Bell to different formats for
easier identification when a signal is received.
3. Tones Assignable on a Channel by Channel Basis
The newer Icom radios allow the programmer to
enter in ten (10) tone sets, which can be used for
both encode AND decode if necessary. Each channel
has the capability to use all tones for both encode
and decode, if programmed correctly.
4. Multiple Tone Sets per Channel This also allows
the programmer to set all ten (10) tones on a single
channel if it was deemed necessary. Each channel
allows a programmer to use a combination of tones
per channel as needed.

What is 5 What is 5 What is 5 What is 5- -- -Tone Signalling? Tone Signalling? Tone Signalling? Tone Signalling?
1. The 5-Tone signalling protocol consists of a fast data
burst of one (1) to seven (7) frequency tones that
can selectively signal a radio.
2. Originally a European signalling protocol, 5-Tone has
numerous formats such as:
CCIR ZVEI1 ZVEI2 DZV1 EEA
EEA2 DAPL EIA DTMF
3. 5-Tone adds specificity to the squelch abilities of
4. Auto Transmit Also known as Radio Spy allows
the dispatcher to send a 5-Tone signal to the radio
causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio
(Hot Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening
in the proximity of the radio. This is also very useful
in emergency cases where the user may not be able
to trigger the microphone.

Why chose 5 Why chose 5 Why chose 5 Why chose 5- -- -Tone? Tone? Tone? Tone?
1. 5-Tone is a non-proprietary signalling protocol that
allows the Icom radio to inter-operate with other
brands using the 5-Tone signalling.
2. This protocol also allows a mixed fleet operation.
3. It is faster than 2-Tone by employing a quick data
burst.
4. Customers are familiar with the protocol since it is an
Industry Standard in USA, Europe, and Asia.
5. Many manufacturers built dispatch consoles with this
capability.
6. 5-Tone offers flexible muting characteristics.

users, this feature allows the dispatcher to regroup
everyone in a different channel. This feature is also
known as Radio Regroup.
7. 5-Tone allows the PTT ID functionality on the radio.
8. As with 2-Tone, PMR also provides audible alerts,
emergency signalling and Dispatch functionality
making it a workable upgrade to an existing fleet.
9. The PMR model and radio functionality provides the
programmer with RX Text identifiers. When a
particular 5-Tone sequence is received, a radio with
display will show the alias attributed to that tone
sequence.
10.When transmitting a 5-Tone sequence, the radio can
select from a programmed list with aliases in order to
identify the code desired for TX.
11.PMR radios allow for TX code editing and the
creation of a custom User Code that will allow the
programmer to create a unique code for a customer.
12.The system also allows for a user to select the TX
codes by assigning a button on the radio.
