NXDN Version
Unique Two-in-One Repeaters
Stable, Flexible and High-Performing Repeater
The IDAS FR5000 series repeaters are equipped with plenty of power and functions for any task. The 6.25 khz spacing per channel significantly improves the audio quality. Digital/analog mixed mode operation allows users to migrate at their own pace, and the network interface option can expand communications while saving time.

Two RF Modules in One Unit

The IC-FR5000/FR6000 series has an internal space for installing an optional RF unit, UR-FR5000 or UR-FR6000. Two RF modules can be installed in a chassis reducing installation space, and increasing channel capacity. They can be programmed and operated independently.
50W Output at 50% Duty Cycle or 25W 100% Duty Cycle Operation*
Employing a high performance power amplifier, the IC-FR5000 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.
* Ambient temperature: 25°C
50W Output at 100% Duty Cycle or 100W 50% Duty Cycle Operation with Optional Power Amplifier*
When need higher power, the optional UR-PA5000/UR-PA6000 series power amplifier provides 100W output power with a 50% duty cycle and 50W output with 100% duty cycle.
* Ambient temperature: 25°C
19-inch Rack Mount Design, 2U Height Low Profile Design
The IC-FR5000/FR6000 series has a rack mount bracket and handles for installation in an industry standard 19-inch rack.
Multiple CTCSS and DTCS Tone Decode
The IC-FR5000/FR6000 series detects multiple CTCSS and DTCS on a channel (up to 16 tones on a table) and downlinks (transmits) the received signal with a specified tone. This function is useful for sharing a channel with multiple groups.
Base Station Operation
The IC-FR5000/FR6000 series has 5 programmable buttons, 12-digit dot-matrix display and 32 memory channels allowing you to use the repeater as a base station.
