Bellevue, WA—What is equipped with 32 radios, over 10 antennas, and has 6 wheels? The latest invention from Icom America. Packed with the latest amateur, marine, avionics, and commercial grade radios, Icom introduces the new Icom Fun Mobile. The Icom Fun Mobile is a 30 foot long motor home outfitted with multiple operating stations and is traveling the USA for the next six months, April thru August, stopping at Hamventions, amateur radio clubs, amateur/marine/aviation retail outlets, various shows, and numerous gathering locations. There will be fun for everybody.

The Icom Fun Mobile allows hands-on demonstrations for Icom radios whether you’re a pilot, boater, public safety worker, ham, avid SWL listener, or wanna-be of any of the above. This is one bus you won’t want to miss so step inside the Icom Fun Mobile and discover Icom’s biggest rig yet.

This giant undertaking by Icom America has been accomplished by a great team of designers- “The biggest challenge with the Fun Mobile is to provide an individual antenna for the multiple communication stations,” states Chris Lougee, Amateur Division Manager. “But with concentrated effort, the technicians of Icom have worked diligently to create a truly unique communication nerve system,”

The Icom Fun Mobile is instantly recognizable as it travels around the United States. Simply look for a 30 foot RV covered with the Icom logo and pictures of its product. If you see the Fun Mobile down your road, listen in on 146.5 MHz.
