Radio info req

Hi, can anyone identify this radio? It came with my trike. I would like to find an operation manual for it.

Where is the rest of it

It looks like an ICOM A3, download the manual here http://www.usersmanualguide.com/icom/air_band/ic-a3

That works! Got the manual thanks!

You can only see the front of the radio because of the way its plumbed into the pod. The battery section was removed, and the remaining bit bolted permanently into the pod.

Thanks again!

Paul, Just be very careful running the ICA 3 without a battery, many people have tried that route and yes it works until one day the surge from wherever happens and thats it. The battery acts as a kind of line choke and helps that problem out. My advice is to search out a dead battery and get repacked and then put some form of filter/ regulator to supply the radio. First prize is to use a seperate battery. The ICA 3/22 radios were brilliant but now extinct and spares are expensive. To those with ICA5/22 radios they are vulnerable more than any other. We struggle for spares.

Thanks for the advice. I have an in line filter with spike and overvoltage protection installed. Guess when it gives up the ghost it will be time for a new radio!
