VHF AIR BAND TRANSCEIVER

Top Performance Mobile Airband Radiowith Active Noise Cancelling and Bluetooth ® Wireless Connectivity

High Visibility, Simple Operation
The full dot-matrix LCD allows for high visibility and clearlyshows alphanumeric characters and icons. Programming
memory channels and other radio settings can be simply madefrom the front panel by radio users. These customizing functions
can also be restricted, depending on the radio settings.

Active Noise Cancelling (ANC)
The newly added built-in ANC reduces background noise in thereceived and transmitting signals. This function is effective in
extremely noisy airport environments full of aircraft noise. The
automatic noise limiter (ANL)* reduces pulse-type noise such asengine ignition.
* The ANL and ANC functions cannot be used at the same time.

Optional Bluetooth® Headset Connectivity
With the optional UT-133A Bluetooth® unit, the IC-A120 can beused with a third-party wireless Bluetooth® headset. Also, using
the optional VS-3 Bluetooth® headset, the side tone function isavailable.

IP54 Dust-Protection and Water Resistance
The IC-A120 has IP54 dust-protection and water resistance.
This construction allows for use in open-air vehicles.

Dualwatch and ON-Hook Scan Functions

SPECIFICATIONS

The dualwatch function checks the priority and operating channels alternatively. The
ON-Hook scan function automatically starts scanning when the hand microphone ishooked on the microphone hanger. When you take the microphone OFF hook, thescanning stops at the priority channel or displayed channel (according to the preprogramming).
