Description
Wireless Connectivity for Hands-Free Operation
The Icom UT133 is an internal Bluetooth unit designed to integrate wireless communication capabilities directly into your Icom transceiver. Once installed, this board allows for a seamless connection to Bluetooth headsets and accessories, providing operators with a hands-free experience that is essential for both driving safety and operational efficiency. The UT133 is specifically engineered for high-performance mobile units like the 5100A and 2730A, as well as the A120 aviation mobile radio.
By eliminating the need for a physical microphone cable, the UT133 provides greater freedom of movement within the vehicle or cockpit. It supports advanced features such as Push-To-Talk (PTT) operation via compatible wireless headsets and, when used with the 5100A, enables wireless connection to Android devices for D-STAR data applications. As a genuine Icom internal component, the UT133 maintains the radio's electrical integrity and provides a stable, low-latency connection for professional-grade voice transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install this board myself? Yes. The UT133 is designed as a user-installable plug-in board. Detailed instructions are included in the radio's manual, though professional installation is recommended if you are uncomfortable opening the radio chassis.
Can I use any Bluetooth headset with this board? While the UT133 is designed to work with standard Bluetooth profiles, Icom officially recommends the VS-3 headset to ensure full functionality of the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button and audio quality.
Does this board allow me to play music through the radio? No. The UT133 is optimized for two-way radio communication (voice) and data transfer. It is not designed for high-fidelity A2DP music streaming.
