Description
Cut to the Required Frequency
The FA-SC61VC is designed to be physically trimmed according to the operating frequency of the radio. Icom provides defined cutting lengths for center frequencies throughout the antenna's operating range, allowing the antenna to be tuned for the specific VHF frequency required rather than relying on a single fixed antenna length.
Designed for VHF Radio Systems
Covering 136–174 MHz, the FA-SC61VC supports the VHF frequencies commonly used by compatible professional Icom two-way radios. It is useful for organizations operating on established channel assignments where matching the antenna to the intended operating frequency can help maintain dependable radio performance.
Frequency-Specific Tuning
For optimum performance, Icom recommends tuning the antenna to the center transmit frequency of the radio. The antenna provides an optimum bandwidth of approximately ±3% around the tuned frequency, making correct trimming particularly important when the radio system operates within a defined portion of the VHF band.
Straightforward Radio Installation
Once trimmed to the appropriate length, the antenna installs directly onto compatible Icom radios using its screw-type connector. The supplied antenna cap is fitted after cutting to protect the end of the antenna element and complete the installation.
Professional Communication Applications
The FA-SC61VC is intended for compatible Icom VHF radios used in applications such as utilities, construction, facility operations, public safety, transportation, field services, and other professional environments where reliable local two-way radio communication is required.
