Compact size Measuring only it
is nearly half the size of the IC-A3, and another third as small as the
IC-A21. Yet, it is every inch an ICOM, chock full of the useful features
you've come to rely on. Its palm size is very convenient for carrying on
your belt with the supplied belt clip.
Ergonomic design
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.
Easy controls 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 are displayed during
adjustment.
Voice recorder 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.
Water resistant The IC-A5 has
water resistant construction, equivalent to JIS-4 grade, which allows safe
operation in rainy conditions.
