700 mW loud audio
The IC-T70A uses a BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the audio output. The 36 mm large speaker delivers 700 mW of loud and intelligible audio* even in noisy environments.
* Using with internal speaker.
Long lasting battery life
Get 5 W 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 operation. 5:5:90 duty cycle with auto power save ON.
External DC power jack
An external DC power jack allows for operation and charge when used with an external DC power supply (10-16 V 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.

Ingress Protection (IP) Code
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings define the level of protection provided by enclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects (dust) and liquid into the electrical equipment.
International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealing characteristics of electrical equipment.
The classification system uses the “IP” code, or “Ingress Protection” code, to define the level of seal.
An IP number contains two numbers (i.e. IP67) in most instances which relate to the level of protection provided by an enclosure or housing.
Either number may be shown as “X” (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate the “X” part is not tested.


Degrees of Solid Particle Protection – 1st Digit
IP6x | No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact. (Dust tight) |
---|---|
IP5x | Protected from the amount of dust that would interfere with normal operation. (Dust protected) |
Degrees of Liquid Ingress Protection – 2nd Digit
IPx8 | Protected against continuous immersion in water. Depth and duration specified by model. |
---|---|
IPx7 | Protected against temporary immersion in water for 1 m (3.3 ft) for 30 minutes |
IPx6 | Protected against water projected by powerful jets from any direction. 100 L per minute by a powerful jets (12.5 mm) for 3 minutes. |
IPx5 | Protected against water projected by jets from any direction. 12.5 L per minute by a nozzle (6.3 mm) for 3 minutes. |
IPx4 | Protected against water splashed against the equipment from any direction |
