Icom IC-V8000

The IC-V8000 is an extremely common, rugged 75W 2m FM mobile — a workhorse ORLP/AllStar node radio wired through its accessory connector. No CAT control. Bring receive audio, transmit audio, COS, and PTT from the accessory/data connector (or the mic and external-speaker jacks with external PTT keying) to a USB radio interface. Program channels with Icom's CS software or the front panel; ORLP cannot change frequency at runtime.
