Icom America Introduces IC-A120 VHF Air Band Transceiver
KIRKLAND, Wash. (January 2016) – Icom America introduces the IC-A120, an air band transceiver
for mobile and/or base station operation. The radio features active noise cancelling, optional
Bluetooth® capability and other various scanning functions. The radio is ideal for use at airports to
facilitate ground crew communications.
Icom’s new A120 radio uses active noise cancelling, which reduces background noise up to 90% in
received signals and up to 30% in transmitting signals. The radio also provides hands-free operation via
optional VS-3 Bluetooth headset (optional UT-133 Bluetooth board required). For additional ease of
operation, the A120 features a large dot-matrix LCD and programming memory channels accessible
from the front panel.
The A120 is Mil-Spec and rated IP54 for dust-tight and water resistant protection. The radio also
features advanced scanning functions. The ON-Hook scan function automatically scans when hand the
microphone is hooked on the microphone hanger. Scanning stops at the priority or displayed channel
when the mic is “off.” The dualwatch function checks priority and operation channels alternatively. Other
features include side tone functionality and compatibility with Icom’s VE-PG3 RoIP gateway to
interconnect with other radio devices.
