Compact size, simple operation
Previous portable air band transceivers weren't so "portable." The IC-A3/E
ushers in a new era in compact portability (see specifications on reverse
side for exact dimensions). But don't let its size fool you, design
ingenuity has produced a portable with superior high audio output-audio
that's easy to hear even without a headset!
Ergonomic keypad design provides convenient access to all functions
and a rotary control allows quick tuning of channels.
Built-in sidetone function with optional headset
The sidetone function allows the use of a simple low cost headset adapter
to monitor your transmitted audio.
AIphanumeric display with large, easy-to-read characters
6-character alphanumeric notes can be used for convenient display of
airport names, call signs, etc. for up to 50 memories. When you want
to view frequencies instead, toggling between the two display types
is a snap. In addition, lockout information can be programmed into memories
for scanning purposes.
Receives marine weather channels*
In addition to operation across the entire air band, the IC-A3 can receive
all VHF FM marine weather channels. Tune in to these channels and listen
to the latest NOAA weather forecasts and advisories.
