Icom has received a Good Design Award for its latest ID-5200 transceiver.
The Good Design Award judges outlined three reasons for choosing the ID-5200:
- Equipped with independent dials for left and right, enabling intuitive operation when receiving two waves simultaneously.
- A modern design centered on a color touchscreen, blending seamlessly with car interiors.
- A separated main unit/controller structure and a variety of mounting options make it adaptable to any installation environment.
The Good Design award describes itself as:
[The] only comprehensive design evaluation and promotion mechanism in Japan. Together with G Mark, it has been recognized by a wide range of people for nearly 70 years, and has continued its activities to make people’s lives and society better through design.
This is the second year in a row that Icom has won the award. Last year the Icom IC-7760 took home a Good Design Award.
