Icom IC-A120E Airband Mobile Radio—Advanced Features for Clear Communication in Noisy Environments

High Visibility and User-Friendly Interface

The Icom IC-A120E features a high-contrast dot-matrix LCD display, ensuring exceptional visibility of alphanumeric characters and icons. Effortlessly manage and program memory channels directly from the intuitive front panel, with customizable settings for optimized user control.

Bluetooth® Headset Connectivity

Enhance wireless communication with optional Bluetooth® connectivity using the UT-133A Bluetooth® unit. The IC-A120E is also compatible with the VS-3 Bluetooth® headset, providing a sidetone function so users can hear their own transmissions in real time.

Built-in Active Noise Cancelling

The integrated Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) system reduces background noise in both incoming and outgoing transmissions, ideal for high-noise environments such as airports. The Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL) further minimizes pulse-type interference, like engine ignitions.

IP54-Rated for Dust and Water Resistance

Designed for durability, the IC-A120E boasts an IP54-rated chassis, offering superior protection against dust and water spray—perfect for open-air vehicle installations and outdoor operations.

Dual Watch and On-Hook Scan Functions

Stay informed with dual watch capability, which alternately scans the active and priority channels. The on-hook scan feature automatically initiates scanning when the microphone is hung, stopping when a transmission is detected.

Side Tone Monitoring

The sidetone function, available with the OPC-871A headset adapter, lets users monitor their own voice through a compatible third-party headset—even when using a handheld microphone—for improved audio awareness during communication.

Optional HM-217 Speaker-Microphone

The HM-217 speaker-mic comes with a built-in speaker for clear reception and convenient front-panel controls, including programmable buttons (P1/P2) for quick access to frequently used features.
