The Icom IC-FR5000 repeater is available in VHF frequency and has 25-50 watts of power with 32 channels.

The FR5000 is a Stable, Flexible and High-Performing Repeater complete with Icom’s IDAS technology, which bridges the gap between analog and digital systems. IDAS is Icom's digital land mobile radio system using the NXDN™ common air interface.
