Product Description
Icom IC-F5330D VHF 50W IDAS Digital Mobile Radio with Remote Commandmic
The Icom IC-F5330D is a 136–174 MHz VHF mobile two-way radio with up to 50 watts of transmit power, IDAS NXDN digital operation, and analog FM capability. Its compact black box RF unit connects to a separate Commandmic controller over an Ethernet cable, giving fleet operators and facilities teams more flexibility when dashboard or control-room space is limited.
Place the radio body where installation space is available and keep the display, speaker, and operating controls within reach. The direct connection can extend up to 100 meters (328 feet) using a suitable user-supplied Cat 5e cable.

Key Features
- VHF coverage: 136–174 MHz with selectable 50W, 25W, and 5W transmit power on the USA 50W version.
- Digital and analog: IDAS NXDN digital and analog FM operation for systems transitioning to digital.
- 128 channels in 8 zones: Organize channels by department, location, or work group.
- Remote Commandmic: High-contrast black-background LCD with a wide viewing angle and 1.7W typical speaker output.
- Flexible controller placement: The main unit powers the Commandmic through the Ethernet connection.
- Digital calling: Individual, group, and all call; over-the-air alias; short data messages; and call alert.
- Worker safety features: Emergency calling and lone-worker functions, when configured for your system.
- Scan options: Priority scan and voting scan to support programmed operating requirements.
- Installation interfaces: Optional OPC-1939 or OPC-2078 accessory cables support external control connections according to programming.
Benefits
- Save dashboard space: Mount the RF unit separately from the handheld controller.
- Support a phased upgrade: Use analog FM channels alongside programmed NXDN digital channels.
- Simplify remote operation: Route an Ethernet cable between the controller and radio body.
- Plan facility installations: A properly configured IP network and PoE switch can support remote controller placement while the RF unit remains near the antenna.
Ideal Applications
Suitable for commercial fleets, transportation, utilities, maintenance teams, industrial facilities, and campus operations that need VHF communications with flexible equipment placement. Fixed-location installations require a suitable DC power supply, antenna system, and installation plan.
Compatibility and System Planning
The IC-F5330D operates with appropriately configured VHF analog FM and VHF NXDN radio systems. Frequency, channel settings, signaling, and system mode must match. Icom lists NXDN conventional, Type-D single-site trunking, simulcast, and multi-site conventional operation; confirm the configuration required by your system before ordering.
For engineered connections to other radio systems, the Icom VE-PG4 RoIP Gateway provides an integration path with the appropriate interface cables and configuration. A gateway connection does not make the IC-F5330D a native multiband radio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the IC-F5330D VHF or UHF?
The IC-F5330D covers VHF frequencies from 136–174 MHz. The related IC-F6330D is the UHF model.
Can it work with analog radios?
Yes. It supports analog FM and IDAS NXDN digital. Radios must use matching frequencies, signaling, and operating settings for the selected mode.
How far can the Commandmic be from the radio body?
Icom specifies a direct Ethernet cable connection up to 100m (328ft) using suitable Cat 5e cable. Network-based installations require appropriate PoE equipment and network configuration.
Can a PoE switch power the entire radio?
No. A compatible PoE installation can power the remote Commandmic, while the RF unit requires a separate 13.6V DC nominal power source.
Can it connect to a VE-PG4 gateway?
Yes. Icom documents VE-PG4 integration for this series using suitable interfaces and configuration. Contact HiTech Wireless to review the equipment required for your system.
