AFC automatically and conveniently adjusts the frequency the IC-1200A/E receives to the frequency of the transmitting station. • COMPACT AND HIGH Smaller and more compact than many conventional automobile OUTPUT POWER transceivers, the IC-1200A/E still provides 10W of powerful output on any frequency in the 1200MHz band. • SIMPLE PANEL DESIGN Even with so many sophisticated functions available, the transceiver front panel layout is extremely simple, making the IC-1200A/E a mobile unit that is both versatile in performance and safe to use while driving. •AUTOMATIC DIMMER A built-in light sensor automatically adjusts a dimmer circuit to CIRCUIT control the backlighting of the LCD READOUT. This feature is convenient for reducing eye fatigue during night operation. • 21 MEMORY CHANNELS The IC-1200A/E introduces a large capacity memory with 21 fully programmable memory channels, placing a variety of communications functions at the fingertips of the driver. • DUAL SCANNING • FREQUENCY SCAN: FUNCTIONS Searches the entire band continuously with frequency increments specified by the operator. • MEMORY SCAN: Continuously checks all memory channels. •SUBAUDIBLE TONE The IC-1200A/E incorporates 38 different subaudible tones, ensur- ENCODER ing maximum communications coverage by allowing full access to all local repeaters. •SQUELCH OPTIONS The UT-28 and UT-29 are two new optional units specially designed for the IC-1200A/E and are ideal for handling the crowded band conditions found in many locations. • UT-28 DIGITAL CODE SQUELCH UNIT: The UT-28 incorportates a system of digital coding and decoding, that allows a “personalized” squelch to be programmed using 1 of 100,000 different code numbers. • UT-29 TONE SQUELCH UNIT: The UT-29 is a subaudible tone encoder/decoder that can be installed as an alternative to the UT-28 Digital Code Squelch Unit.
