Icom F29SR2 Handheld PMR Radio

The Icom IC‑F29SR2 is a compact, professional‑grade PMR446 radio designed for environments where reliability and simplicity matter. It retains the proven build quality of earlier models while adding improved audio performance, new channels and an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. The slim, rugged housing makes it suitable for daily use in demanding conditions, from boatyards and marinas to commercial operations.

With just three main controls — transmit, volume and a 16‑position rotary channel selector — the interface is intentionally straightforward. This makes the radio ideal for shift‑based teams or situations where units are frequently handed over. The powerful 1500 mW internal speaker delivers clear audio in noisy surroundings, and the unit supports a full suite of calling, privacy and group‑communication features.

The supplied BP‑279 Li‑Ion battery provides up to 21 hours of operation, and the BC‑213 rapid charger restores full charge in around 2.5 hours. Additional functions such as Smart‑Ring, Call‑Ring, voice scrambling, programmable buttons and zone switching give the IC‑F29SR2 the flexibility needed for professional use.
