UT-109 scambler

[N4UYV_Al]

I was searching through the forums & saw someone mention the UT-109 Scrambler for other Icom radios & I remember 'years' ago when I purchased my Icom IC-2000H, the manual had the 109 as an option for that radio.. A scrambler for a ham radio??
I purchased the radio from an authorized Icom ham radio dealer too.. Did I somehow get an export radio or something?? I know I still have the original box & manual packed away in the attic & one day I'll have ta go dig it out... I've tried to find the UT-109 mentioned in the online pdf manuals for the radio on various sites but the page I remember for the scrambler in my manual, doesn't seem to be mentioned in the others.. Anyone else ever own this radio?? Thanks, Al

I am looking at a downloaded pdf user manual for the IC-2000H on page 42(options list)
and the UT-109 is not listed. I only see the UT-85 Tone Squelch Unit and the UT-101
which is a DTMF Unit. The copyright date on the back cover of this manual is 1994.

Also a peek into the service manual only shows the same two UT modules above.

Me thinks your (not your radios) memory is perhaps a bit fuzzy.

The Icom V8000 will also work with the UT-109. Some Dealers will install these into ham radios if requested. I dont know why you would want them but yes bottom line is they will work in some of the ICom Ham radios

Must be an undocumented compatability. Is the UT-109 plug n play for the V8000 or do you have to wire it into the radio?

Is there an online link/reference info for this?

Ahhh, THAT must be where I saw it... I thought it was my older radio (IC-2000)... Yeah, here's the link for the operating manual add-on... Takes a few seconds to load... Icom IC-V8000 Optional Instruction Manual
