6 Watt RF output power
For better communication range, the power output has been increased to about 6 W typically (PEP) / 1.8 W typically (carrier) compared to IC-A24E (5W PEP /1.5 W carrier).
Simple and easy to use
Frequently used features are dedicated to the keypad for quick access to the desired function. The large flat keyboard provides smooth and fast function management.
2.3" high-visibility LCD screen
The 2.3 inch screen has high contrast and ensures good readability even in direct sunlight. The selected frequency is displayed with large characters and can be easily read at a glance at the display. The night mode also allows for easy reading in low light.
