Icom Ic - V90 __top__

: In VFO mode, use the keypad to enter a valid 6-digit frequency directly.

The IC-V90 uses a dual-conversion superheterodyne receiver. In dense RF environments (like a city skyline or near a cell tower), this radio remains quiet while cheaper direct-conversion radios go completely deaf. If you are a serious weak-signal VHF operator or participate in SOTA (Summits on the Air), the selective receiver of the V90 pulls out faint signals that budget radios miss entirely. Icom ic v90
