The Icom MBA-19 is a mounting bracket for the controller of the Icom ID-5200E transceiver.

This accessory is designed for desktop use, technical workbench setups, fixed stations or amateur radio shacks, allowing the control panel to be placed in a more comfortable position for viewing and operation.

It is especially useful when the ID-5200E main unit is installed separately, for example on a shelf, mounting bracket, technical cabinet or less accessible area, while keeping the controller in a practical operating position.

Icom’s official page identifies the MBA-19 as a controller bracket for desktop use and lists compatibility with the ID-5200E and ID-5200A. This bracket should not be confused with the MBA-20, which is the magnetic bracket for use with the MBF-1 mounting base, or with the MBF-11, intended for other controller/main-unit mounting arrangements.
