Product Review
The Icom A120 unit is great for any mobile application built to mil spec for superb reliability. 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-133 Bluetooth unit and connect a third-party wireless Bluetooth headset.
- [HIGH-VISIBILITY LCD & EASY CONTROLS] – Bright dot-matrix display shows clear alphanumerics and icons. Users can program memory channels and settings from the front panel, with optional restrictions for secure operation.
- [OPTIONAL BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY] – Add the UT-133A Bluetooth unit to pair with wireless aviation headsets. With the VS-3 headset, enjoy side tone monitoring for clear, hands-free cockpit communication.
- [ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING FOR CLARITY] – Built-in ANC filters aircraft and engine noise on transmit and receive. The Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL) further reduces pulse-type ignition noise for cleaner audio.
- [DUALWATCH & ON-HOOK SCAN] – Dualwatch monitors priority and working channels, while On-Hook scan auto-starts when mic is hung up, pausing at the priority or displayed channel when removed.
- [SIDE TONE MONITORING] – With the OPC-871A headset adapter, pilots can monitor their own voice through the headset, even when transmitting via hand microphone.
- [RUGGED IP54 WEATHER RESISTANCE] – Dust-protected and water-resistant (IP54) housing lets the IC-A120 perform reliably in open-air vehicles and harsh airport environments.
- [OPTIONAL HM-217 SPEAKER MIC] – Built-in speaker improves received audio, while P1/P2 programmable keys give quick access to frequent radio functions directly from the mic.
