IC-FR5300/IC-FR6300

VHF AND UHF DIGITAL REPEATERS

The ICOM IC-FR5300/IC-FR6300 repeater is designed to deliver seamless and reliable communication across wide areas, making it an ideal solution for enhancing your radio network. With its new CPU/FPGA platform and system scalability, it offers exceptional performance and flexibility. The repeater supports both digital and analog mixed modes, with the ability to accommodate multiple tone groups using CTCSS, DTCS tone, and RAN. Featuring a 50W output at 50% duty cycle and optional power amplification for even higher performance, the IC-FR5300 ensures maximum coverage. It also includes features like 32 channel capacity, programmable buttons, and IP remote maintenance for enhanced convenience and control.

Completely New CPU/FPGA Platform

The IC-FR5300 series is the second generation IDAS™ Repeater, keeping system compatibility with the original IC-FR5000 series and continuing its unique package. It looks the same as the IC-FR5000, but a new CPU/FPGA platform is used. The IC-FR5300 series provides digital simulcast system capability and ±0.1 ppm high frequency stability with a 1 pps reference signal from the GNSS antenna.

System Scalability

The IC-FR5300 series can be easily upgraded by installing an optional UC-FR5300 Network/controller board and software provided with a CF card. Depending on the communication density and coverage, your radio system can grow from a single site to a simulcast system or multi-site trunking* system, to match your communication needs.
* Compatible IDAS radio terminals are required for multi-site trunking.

D-SUB 25-Pin Accessory Connector

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

50W Output at 50% Duty Cycle or 25W 100% Duty Cycle Operation*

Employing a 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.

* 25 W output power depending on the repeater version. Ambient temperature: 25°CAmbient 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

Capable of Installing Two RF modules in One Chassis

The IC-FR5300 series has an internal space for installing another RF unit. Two RF modules* can be installed and operated independently. LEDs on the front panel shows the status of both channel.

* Optional UR-FR5300/UR-FR6300 required.

Digital/Analog Mixed Mode and Multiple Tone-Group Using CTCSS, DTCS Tone and RAN

The IC-FR5300 series can receive both analong and digital modes on a channel, and transmit either mode, depending on the programming. It 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.

32 Channel Capacity and 5 Programmable Buttons

The 12-digit alphanumeric display, 5 programmable buttons, 32 memory channels and internal speaker enable you to use the repeater as a simple base station, or to check repeater activity. The LCD shows a variety of text and code information.

IP Remote Maintenance

When the IC-FR5300 series is connected to an IP network through the optional UC-FR5300 network/controller board, PC programming and IP address setting can be made from a remote location. The SNMP traps and Syslog can be sent to your manager for remote monitoring.

Other Features

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