Below is what I have found.
The ICOM IC-208H 2M/440 dual bander is priced like a single bander, but it
still has all the features you want. You get:  detachable control panel,
wideband receive, three power settings, built-in CTCSS decode/encode, PC
compatibility and 500 alpha memory channels. Power output is 55/15/5 watts
on 2 meters and 50/15/5 watts on 440 MHz. It is 9600 BPS packet ready too (6
pin DIN). The 208H also includes a built-in duplexer, OPC-600/R separation
cable, HM-133 remote hand mic, mobile mounting bracket, power cord and spare
fuses. This model requires 13.8 VDC at 12 amps.

Features

    * Encode/Decode
    * 9600 BPS Packet Ready
    * 500 Alpha Memories (6 character)
    * Built-In Duplexer
    * FM Narrow capability 

	

    * Weather Alert
    * Three Output Levels
    * Detachable Control Head
    * Extended Receive
    * 16 DTMF Memories
I understand it is computer programmable and will take a speech chip as well
