Note
The Icom IC-RP1220 is a sophisticated 1200 MHz FM repeater. It is engineered for continuous 24-hour operation and features a robust two-way power system for reliability.
The IC-RP1220 is an advanced FM repeater that utilizes a high-efficiency PA module in its transmitter output circuit to ensure stable 10 W performance. It is designed for versatility, capable of operating from both AC and DC power sources, with the ability to automatically switch to DC backup if AC power fails. The unit is standard rack-mountable (19-inch) and includes a built-in DTMF tone decoder for extensive remote control capabilities.
Features
– High Stability Output: Delivers a stable 10 W output power using a specialized PA module.
– 2-Way Power System: Supports both AC and DC power; automatically switches to a connected 12 V battery during AC power interruptions.
– Continuous Duty: Equipped with a heavy-duty power supply unit designed to handle load fluctuations and support 24-hour operation.
– Remote Control System: Features a built-in DTMF decoder allowing operators to remotely manage functions like tone squelch, ID transmission, and timers using a 4-bit password.
– ID Functions: Supports both automatic and manual ID signal transmission with adjustable speed and timing.
– CTCSS Capabilities: Includes a Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System for private repeater operation.
– Local Control: Can be used as a full-duplex transceiver by activating the "Local Inhibit" switch.
– Monitoring: Built-in speaker for monitoring received signals.
