Icom Digital Radios

Icom Digital Advanced System

IDAS™ radios can receive both analog mode and digital mode signals on a single channel. You can partially introduce the IDAS™ radios while using your existing analog radios in a system. The IDAS™ system allows you to scale migration to narrow band digital at your own pace and needs, while running your existing analog system.

It is a cost efficient way to obtain the next generation in two way radio technology, while protecting your current system investment. When comparing digital with analog FM, the audio quality of analog FM gradually deteriorates with static noise as the distance increases. On the other hand, the digital audio provides noise-less, stable audio for longer until the fringes of the communication range.
