IC-4008A is perfect for outdoor use.

shock and vibration
Police radio tough! ICOM's FRS radio is built to withstand rough handling.
- Rotary type antenna
Can be folded behind the radio when not in use
- "Call-Ring" function
- Sends a ring tone, like a phone or pager ring
- Up to ten different ring patterns let you know the identity of your
caller before taking the call
- "Smart Ring" function
lets you confirm whether or not a call has reached the receiving party (if
they are using an IC-4008A), even if the person you're calling is
temporarily away from the radio
- Group modes
- 38 different codes "split up" each of the 14 FRS
frequencies. Also known as CTCSS, or Continuous Tone Coded Squelch
System
- Helps weed out unwanted contacts
- Allows the radio to remain in a Silent Standby mode. Only
signals containing your group code can open the squelch, keeping the
radio quiet while monitoring for communications
- To use a group code, agree beforehand with each of member of your
party on which code to use on one of the 14 channels. Example:
"We'll contact each other on channel 6, code 22". Enter your
settings into the IC-4008A and then use the radio's lock function to
maintain the settings. The amount of unwanted calls will be drastically
reduced
- ATS (Automatic TranSponder) function
Like the "Smart Ring" function, this lets you confirm whether or
not a call has reached the receiving party, but without a "Ring"
tone
