Icom IC-A120 - VHF Air Band Transceiver - Base Station Overview:

Icom’s IC-A120 Mobile Airband Transceiver is equipped with a crisp, clear, dot-matrix display; active noise cancellation (ANC) and automatic noise limiter (ANL) technology; and straightforward programming and settings options that are accessible from the front panel. The IC-A120 meets IP54 standards for dust-protection and water-resistance and can be connected to an optional Bluetooth unit for compatibility with third-party wireless Bluetooth headsets.

This IC-A120 variant has a base station included.

• Dot-matrix LCD display is easy to read with crisp, clear text (displays alphanumeric characters and icons)
• Memory channels and other radio settings can programmed from the front panel (customizing functions can be restricted as needed, depending on the radio settings); this unit provides 200 memory channels with 12-character channel names and 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz channel spacing
• Built-in Active Noise Canceling (ANC) reduces background noise in the received and transmitted signals; the automatic noise limiter (ANL) reduces pulse-type noise such as engine ignition (ANL and ANC functions cannot be used at the same time)
• IP54 dust-protection and water resistant construction allows the IC-A120 to be used in open-air vehicles
• ON-Hook scan function automatically starts scanning when the hand microphone is hooked on the microphone hanger; the ON-Hook dualwatch feature checks the priority and operating channels alternatively while ON-Hook; when the microphone is taken OFF hook, scanning stops at the priority channel or the displayed channel
• Provides optional Bluetooth headset connectivity when the UT-133 Bluetooth unit is added; this allows a third-party wireless Bluetooth headsets to be used with the IC-A120 (when using an optional VS-3 Bluetooth headset the side tone function becomes available)
