Icom UK is pleased to launch its next generation of VHF Air Band handheld transceivers. The IC-A6 and IC-A24. The IC-A24 with VOR, and its COM-only counterpart, the IC-A6, are the direct successors to the ever-popular IC-A22 and IC-A3 series of Icom handheld radios. Just as those products broke new ground with pilot-friendly features, the A24 and A6 continues the tradition by providing even more of the most pilot-requested features.
Two Varients. There are two versions of each
radio, The Sports and Pro packs. In addition to the Radio Body, the
Sports pack includes BP208N AA Battery Case.
In addition to the Radio
Body, the PRO pack includes BP210N NiMH Battery Pack, OPC-499 Headset
adaptor cable, BC119N Rapid Desktop Charger, AD-101 charger adaptor. Both packs
include a CP020 Cigarette Lighter Cable with DC-DC Converter, Belt Clip,
Antenna, Handstrap and Manual
Compact, stylish body The A24/A6 design incorporates the size and durability of the IC-A22 with improved usability. The A24/A6 includes a large LCD, large speaker and easy-to-use panel layout. The side of the radio has a non-slip slit to prevent accidental dropping.
Large alphanumeric LCD An easy to read a 6-character 14-segment alphanumeric LCD displays a variety of information clearly. Both the display and keypad are backlit, which is a very useful feature for nighttime flying.
Channel recall function The new channel recall function automatically memorizes the last 10 used channels. You can easily recall those channels by pushing the recall buttons on the front panel. This makes it very convenient for switching between several channels at a time, such as NAV channels (A24) and COM channels.
Icom F series battery packs and case The A24/A6 share the same battery packs and case with Icom’s commercial range of radios including the IC-F12, F3G, F31G series. A variety of battery types are available including Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Li-Ion batteries. The BP-208N, battery case is also available with 6 AA (LR6) alkaline cells as a backup battery source.
Simultaneous operation and charge from external power source The IC-A6 has an external DC power jack that allows operation with the optional CP-20 cigarette lighter cable with DC-DC converter. This means that a battery pack can be simultaneously charged during operation.
Dedicated 121.5MHz emergency key A dedicated red emergency key programmed with a 121.5MHz homing frequency is equipped to give you extra confidence in the event of an emergency.
