Icom IC-A25C VHF Airband Handheld Transceiver

Class-Leading High Power RF Output

Output power is increased to approximately 6 W typical (PEP) and 1.8 W typical (carrier) compared to the IC-A24 (5/1.5 W (PEP/carrier)). This expands the communication coverage and enhances the safety of aircraft operation. 

Easy-to-Use Interface

Often used functions are assigned to the 10 keypad and you can directly access a desired function. The enlarged flat sheet keypad offers smooth and swift operation

2.3 inch Large High Visibility LCD

The large and high visibility LCD provides user-friendly, graphic screens. The night mode option enables easy viewing in the dark. The operating frequency in large characters can be recognized at a glance.

“Flip-Flop” Channel Recall

The IC-A25N/C stores the last 10 channels used. You can easily recall those channels by using the directional keys or the channel knob on the top panel. This is convenient for switching between several channels, such as NAV and COM channels.

Intelligent Battery with Detailed Battery Status

The supplied BP-288, 2350 mAh (typical) intelligent battery pack, provides up to 10.5 hours* of operating time. You can check the condition of the battery pack in the battery status screen. It is very useful for optimum charging and battery health maintenance

* Typical operation with Tx: Rx (Max.audio): standby=5:5:90.  (Bluetooth OFF, GPS ON)
