VHF AIR BAND TRANSCEIVER

IC-A120

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

VHF Air Band Mobile Radio

Icom’s A120 air band mobile introduces two new features: Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Bluetooth® capabilities. The newly added built-in ANC reduces background noise and is effective in extremely noisy airport environments. The automatic noise limiter (ANL) reduces pulse-type noise such as engine ignition. Insert the optional UT-133A Bluetooth® unit and connect a third-party wireless Bluetooth® headset. This unit is great for any mobile application, and it’s available in a base station. Both are built to mil-spec for superb reliability!
