Which radio is right for you?
The primary difference between the IC-F2000 and IC-F3000 is the frequency band they operate on. The best choice depends on your operating environment: 
  • Choose the IC-F2000 (UHF) if you work primarily in or around buildings, cities, or dense foliage. UHF signals can penetrate walls and other obstacles more effectively.
  • Choose the IC-F3000 (VHF) if your communication is over long distances in open, unobstructed outdoor areas like plains or large construction sites. 
For both frequency bands, you can select the version that offers the features and display/keypad configuration best suited for your needs.
