ICOM IC-T70A Dual Band FM Handheld Two Way Radio

Product Description
Rugged Construction, Classic 2M/70CM Operation
Impressive audio output volume, long-lasting power, plenty of memory channels, rugged construction, rich in analog features – the T70A offers practical 2m/70cm dual band operation and ruggedness, updated for today's ham radio enthusiasts.
700mW loud audio
The IC-T70A uses a BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the audio output. Every ham knows that power = current × voltage. The T70A’s BTL increases the audio output by doubling the voltage delivered to the speaker. The 36mm large speaker delivers 700mW of loud and intelligible audio* even in noisy environments.
*Typical value using internal speaker.
Long lasting battery life
Get 5W of power on VHF and UHF in a small, lightweight package. The BP-264 Ni-MH battery offers over 10 hours of power on a single charge*. The optional, even lighter BP-265 Li-Ion battery pushes operation to 13.5 hours*. And an optional AA alkaline battery case is ideal for long storage or quick back-up.
* Typical value using internal speaker.
External DC power jack
An external DC power jack allows for operation and charge when used with an eternal DC power supply (10-16V DC)*.
* The BP-265 cannot be charged using the external DC power jack.
A total of 302 memory channels
With 302 alphanumeric memory channels, including 50 band edges and 2 call channels, the IC-T70A gives you flexible scanning lists. With a maximum of 26 memory banks*, you can pick and choose the desired banks for scanning from the 250 memories.
* Up to 100 channels per bank.
Built-in CTCSS/DTCS
CTCSS and DTCS tone codes provide quiet stand-by and allow you to use tone-access repeaters. Pocket beep alerts you when a matching tone frequency is received. Tone scan detects the subaudible tone that is used for repeater access.
Internal VOX function
The IC-T70A has an internal VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) function for convenient hands-free operation when used with a compatible optional headset and plug adapter cable. Also, the VOX level and VOX delay time are adjustable.
IP54 and MIL-STD 810 rugged construction
Dust protection and water-resistance equivalent to IP54 provides reliable operation for practical outdoor operation. The IC-T70A tested to and passed MIL-STD 810 environmental tests.
