PCI Race Radios Icom F1000 VHF Hand Held Radio - 2253

If you’re looking for a solid handheld radio that won’t let you down on your next ride or during race day, the 2253 PCI Race Radios Icom F1000 VHF Hand Held Radio is worth checking out. It’s got a no-nonsense design that’s lightweight and compact, making it a breeze to carry around whether you’re on your motorcycle, in a chase truck, or setting up a base camp.

One of the standout features is its IP67 waterproof rating. This means it can handle a bit of rain and dirt without skipping a beat—perfect for those unpredictable weather days. You won’t have to worry about sand or mud messing up your communication. Plus, with a 5-watt output, you’ll get solid range and clarity, which is crucial when you need to stay in touch with your team.

It’s equipped with 16 channels, and here’s a neat little perk: when you switch channels, the radio announces the channel number. This is super handy because you don’t have to take your eyes off the road or your task to fiddle with settings. Just twist the channel knob and keep your focus where it matters.

Battery life? You’re looking at around 14 hours thanks to the waterproof lithium-ion battery. And when it’s time to recharge, the rapid charger gets you back in action quickly. So, whether you’re navigating tricky trails or coordinating during a race, this radio has your back.

In short, the Icom F1000 is built for those who take their adventures seriously. It’s tough, reliable, and designed to keep you connected no matter where you are.

Who is Behind PCI Race Radios?

PCI Race Radios was started in 1972 when Bob Steinberger put communications in the vehicles of Bill Stroppe, Joe MacPherson and Walker Evans. At the 1974 Mint 400, Steinberger sent up three weather balloons with 500 feet of coax attached to them. It was that day when the first successful radio relay from a pit was made. Since then, Bob’s iconic status has spanned through nearly half a century of work with his communications brand, PCI Race Radios.

Bob Steinberger passed away in 2017, handing over the company to his son Scott, who has been racing since 1983. Scott Steinberger understands what goes into racing and the importance of quality (communication) products that help get you to the finish line.
