Trunking Capable, Trunking Options:

Simulcast Conventional

Increase range in difficult RF environments with Simulcast Conventional. Simulcast Conventional uses one frequency for a for all subscriber units. The one frequency keeps signals strong in overlapping areas, this also eliminates the need for scanning, voting, and roaming. The UC-FR5300 board and CF-FR5300SC card are required to work with simulcast, simulcast only works with the FR5300.

Multi-site Conventional Systems

Inserting the CF-FR5000 02 card into the UC-FR5300 board, the UC and repeaters increase their capabilities to include multi-site conventional operation. Multi-site conventional systems connect conventional repeaters using an IP network to merge geographically distributed repeaters and operate them as one, or allow UHF and VHF repeaters to share traffic in a crossover configuration. This is ideal for operations that can merge multiple talk sites into one. Industries such as construction, mining, education, transportation and logistics would benefit.

Multisite Conventional systems are possible with IDAS™ LINQ™. Choose from four configurations:

1. LINQ™REPEAT
2. LINQ™REPEAT+
3. LINQ™VOTE
4. LINQ™VOTE+.

Single Site Trunking

The UC-FR5300 board and CF-FR5000MT card in a repeater can be configured to a voting receiver, which is best for radios that cannot reach transmitters in areas of poor coverage. Once a signal is received at the voter, it is then transferred via IP to the repeater which then transmits the strongest signal. Voting allows the extension of indoor or underground communication which would benefit industries such as education, healthcare and hospitality.

Multi-site Trunking - Mulit-TrunK™

Installing and programming a UC-FR5300 board into the FR5300 repeater can transform the FR5300 from a conventional repeater into a trunked repeater system for a single site. Any IDAS™ subscriber digital radios are ready to operate on conventional or trunked digital radios for easy configuration choice. Single Site Trunking is ideal for a large area of operation with multiple groups and users.

Other FR5300 | FR6300 Features:

• Double Channel Capacity
  IDAS doubles the capacity of the current 12.5kHz channel allocation. The IDAS system occupies only 6.25kHz spacing per channel. With the improved sensitivity of narrow band communications, increased communication greater than 12.5kHz analog mode can be achieved. Icom allows you to meet any narrow banding requirements today, and provides a solution to any future spectrum deficiencies.

• Digital and Analog Mixed Mode Operation
  The IC-FR5300 | FR6300 can receive both analog and digital signals on a single channel. You can partially introduce the IDAS system, while using the existing analog radios in a system. The IDAS system allows you to scale migration to narrow band digital at your own pace and need.

• Superior Audio Quality
  The IDAS system uses the AMBE+2™ codec, which provides clear audio and simultaneous data communication. The built-in audio compander improves the signal to noise ratio and provide clear audio.  The Compander is for analog mode only, digital mode does not require Compander since digital communication quality is superior to anaolog by nature.

• 19-inch Rack Mount 2U Height Low-Profile Design
  The IC-FR5300 | FR6300 uses only 2U height. This low profile configuration allows you to stack multiple units in an industry standard 19-inch rack and provides great space efficiency.

• 50W Output at 50% Duty Cycle, 25W at 100% Duty Cycle Operation
  Employing a high stability ±0.5ppm oscillator and high performance power amplifier, the IC-FR5300 series provides a reliable 100% duty cycle operation at 25W output. When operated at the high power setting of 50W, the repeater operates with a 50% duty cycle.

• Multiple CTCSS, DTCS Tone and RAN Code
  The IC-FR5300 | FR6300 decodes multiple CTCSS and DTCS as well as digital RAN (Radio Access Number) codes on a per channel basis (up to 16 tones/codes) and downlinks the received signal with a specified tone/code. This function is useful for sharing a channel with multiple groups and provides quiet stand-by while using other groups.

• Superior Receiver Performance
  The IC-FR5300 series has class leading receiver performance of selectivity and intermodulation rejection. It improves the quality of the repeater service even under congested band conditions.

• D-SUB 25-pin Accessory Connector
  The IC-FR5300 series has a programmable D-SUB 25-pin accessory connector for connecting various trunking controllers or external remote control devices. Also, modulation / demodulation signals can be input / output from the D-SUB connector.

• Low voltage alert
• DTMF encoder/decoder
• 5-Tone decoder* (For analog mode only)
• PTT priority setting (Local Microphone, external PTT or repeater operation)
• CW ID transmitter
• RC-FS10 remote communicator software works as a simple dispatch station to communicate with radio terminals through the repeater
• Receiver voting function improves talkback capability of radio terminals in the field
• 19-inch rack mount 2U height low profile
