ICOM IC-A23 / IC-A5 VHF and UHF Transceivers
Fly
the airwaves with this simple air band transceiver
Compact and water-resistant
construction
Measuring only 58(W) ×
107(H) × 28.5(D) mm*, its palm size
is very convenient for carrying on your belt with the supplied belt clip.
The IC-A23/IC-A5 has water resistant construction, equivalent to JIS 4
grade, which allows safe operation in rainy conditions.
*
2 9/32(W) × 4 7/32(H) × 1 1/8(D) in.
VOR navigation*
The IC-A23 has a
VOR navigation function, which indicates the bearing to or from the VOR
station. A Course Deviation Indicator shows the deviation between your
flying course and the desired course. In CDI mode, the ABSS (Auto Bearing
Set System) function allows you to center your flying course in one touch.
(* IC-A23 only)
Easy to operate
Well labeled and well spaced
keys are easy to operate, even while wearing gloves. The back mounted battery
puts the weight of the unit in your palm, allowing a comfortable grip.
The wide and large LCD lets you see every readout at a glance.
Reversible analog rotary
selector and digital Up/Down switches
Volume and channel selection
can be controlled by the rotary selector on the top panel, or Up/Down switches
on the front. You can change the assignment at your convenience. The volume
level and channel number is displayed during adjustment.
Voice recording and playback
function
Received conversation can
be recorded and played back with the built-in voice recorder. Recorded
contents can be transmitted and kept even with power off or when the battery
is discharged.
