High-visibility display

The IC-A120E features an active matrix LCD display for easy readability.

Adaptable to all vehicles!

The IC-A120E can be installed on any vehicle equipped with a 12 or 24 V power supply.

Front panel with loudspeaker

To ensure perfect audio quality for communications, the IC-A120E incorporates a loudspeaker on the front panel. Connecting an optional external loudspeaker provides 10 W of power.

Customizable memory channels

For quick and easy use of the IC-A120E, you can assign names (mnemonics) to each channel (up to 12 characters per channel). They are saved in EEPROM to prevent memory deletion.

All-weather operation

The IC-A120E’s rugged design means it can be used in harsh indoor and outdoor environments (open track vehicles, convertibles, etc.). It is dust- and waterproof (IP54), and complies with military standard MIL-STD 810.

Active Noise Canceller (ANC)

The new integrated active noise reducer attenuates ambient noise in reception and transmission. This function is particularly useful in noisy airport environments. The Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL)* reduces « loud » noises, such as engine starting.
*ANL and ANC functions cannot be used simultaneously.

Compatible with Bluetooth accessories

With the optional UT-133 board, the IC-A120E can be used with compatible Bluetooth wireless accessories such as the VS-3 or PELTOR HS-PEMT15H7A and HS-PEMT53H7A headsets.

Optional HM-217 microphone

The HM-217 microphone is IP54 waterproof and offers optimum listening performance. It features two programmable keys (P1 / P2) for frequently used functions. Channel change can also be performed from the microphone.
