Icom IC-E91 User Manual

With V/V, U/U dualwatch capability

Provides Digital Voice (DV)
mode operation
with optional UT-121

5W

(typ.) output on both bands

Wide band receiver with dualwatch capability

The IC-E91 has dualwatch receiver capability, allowing you to
receive* two bands simultaneously

(including same band). By push-

ing and holding the [Main/Dual] button, you can easily turn dual­watch on and off, while a press of the button allows you to toggle
the active VFO channels.

* See specifications for receive range restrictions.

Large dot-matrix LCD

Using a large full dot-matrix LCD (37.8×20 mm), the IC-E91 clearly
shows two-line frequency settings, alphanumeric channel name,
bandscope, etc. In addition, automatic LCD and keypad back­lighting provides bright illumination for night time operation.

Simple bandscope

Spectrum activity is displayed on the screen
and audio is heard while sweeping the
range. It is useful for finding new or interfer­ing signals.

5 Watts

(typical) output

Icom’s original wideband PA circuit and supplied lithium-ion bat­tery pack provides 5W

(typ.) output. The supplied BP-217 provides

up to 5/4.5 hours* of operating time.

* VHF/UHF single mode, Tx high: Rx: Stand-by duty ratio= 1: 1: 8

Keypad navigation

The 4 cursor direction buttons on the keypad
gives you quick and intuitive access to many
settings. The twin volume/channel knob pro­vides convenient channel/volume setting.

External DC power jack

An external DC power jack allows for operation with an external
DC power supply

(10–16V DC). When used with the CP-19R or

OPC-254L, simultaneous operation during charging is possible.

D-STAR digital voice (DV) mode operation

With optional UT-121, Digital Unit, the IC-E91 provides DV mode
operation. 950 bps data like a short message or location data* can
be sent simultaneously with the digital voice transmission.

* External GPS receiver (NMEA 0183 format) is required.

Other features

• Optional remote control software, RS-91

• Squelch release function to monitor a weak signal.

• Water-resistant construction, equivalent to IPX4

• CTCSS and DTCS tone squelch operation for quiet stand-by

• 1750Hz tone for repeater access

• Total of 1304 memory channels

• 26 memory banks with selected bank and bank link scanning

• Auto power save, power off and power on

• 10 channel DTMF memory

(16-digit)

• 10dB (approx) built-in attenuator
