Just like the ic-41s the IC-41W has the full 80chs plus it is waterproof (IP67)

One wonders if DMR will ever be permitted on UHFCB and which protocol?

im sure that there would be quite a few users using P25 on UHFCB. I wish ACMA would get over it and just allow digital modes on CB enough shit already goes on there.

I don't think it will happen. CB radio is essentially a voice only communication method, with everybody having the ability to hear everybody else. Permitting digital would prevent this from occurring.

Subtones are permitted, but using these doesn't prevent others from hearing you.

I know digital modes are already used by some against the class licence, but that doesn't mean we all should. It's like the age old argument of power levels and non-type approved equipment on CB. Always seems to be a case of the minority who make things difficult for the majority.

If people want digital modes they should invest in a commercial frequency or get their licence for the ham bands. Plenty of other places to legally use digital modes.

PresageCommunications.net.au in WA have the IC-41W in stock for $429.00 free freight

They don't float unlike some of the Icom VHF's so best to tether to your belt/arm

Probably not, as the 41S has the CB channels default as 40, whereas the 41W has a default of 80 channels CB. What does the handbook list as the software required?
