Icom IC-F5060-Series

Icom IC-FR5000-Series base stations

The Icom radios with a 25Pin port on the back can be remote controlled with audio and PTT.

Also the channel and the zone of the radio can be changed remotely from the Virtual Control Head in SoftRadio.

All the important radio functions, are remote controlled

COMPLETE REMOTE CONTROL

You get access to changing the radios channel and zone remotely. If you run the mobile radio in IDAS mode, the ID number of the transmitting radio will be shown on the display. (Only ID number, no alias)

The radio itself can simoultaneusly, with the remote control, be used as a standard radio with its control head, microphone and speaker.

There is also a smaller version that only remote controls the audio and the PTT, no channel change. Then you use the Network Interface LE, 3130.

IC-F5060-series
Network Interface: Suitable Network Interface is 3009/20 with cable kit 3205.

IC-FR5000-series
Network Interface: Suitable Network Interface is 3009/51 with cable kit 3247.

3205 Cable Kit for radios with the 25 Pin connector

Examples of use:

Local use when several dispatchers want to share one radio
Remote use where a dispatcher at one location want to talk to radio users at a different location
CrossPatch between IDAS radio channels and other two way radios, like analogue, Airband, DMR, Tetra or MPT.

One Radio, Multiple Operators

Allows multiple dispatchers to share and operate a single radio system locally. Each dispatcher has full access to radio functions.

Remote Dispatch Operation

Remote use where a dispatcher at one location want to talk to radio users at a different location

CrossPatch Radio Integration

CrossPatch between IDAS radio channels and other two way radios, like analogue, Airband, DMR, Tetra or MPT.

VCH for the IC-5060-Series

The Virtual Control Head (VCH) gives the operator direct access to the main functions of the IC-5060 series radio through the SoftRadio interface. The on-screen display closely mirrors the radio’s own display, making it easy to recognize channel information, operating mode, and current status at a glance.

Key information such as RSSI (signal strength) is clearly presented, providing instant feedback on reception quality. Operators can select channels and zones directly from the VCH, enabling fast and intuitive operation without the need for physical interaction with the radio.

The VCH also includes configuration settings for control head size and display layout, allowing the interface to be adapted to different screen sizes and operator preferences. By replicating the radio’s familiar layout within SoftRadio.

Channel Name Setup

The radio does not report the channel names, only a technical number, to external devices. For this reason it is important to make a list of channel names and zones and save it in the interface.The list needs to be an exact copy of the list in the radio. If the programming of a channel is changed in the radio, it also needs to be changed in the interface.When all is correct the Virtual Control Head will show the name of the channel.
