Icom IC-A25C VHF Airband Handheld Transceiver

Icom IC-A25C VHF Airband Handheld Transceiver with Enhanced Features

Experience Superior RF Output Power

The Icom IC-A25C delivers class-leading RF output power, providing approximately 6 W typical (PEP) and 1.8 W typical (carrier). This upgraded power capacity enhances communication coverage and boosts the safety of aircraft operations.

Intuitive and User-Friendly Interface

The transceiver features an easy-to-use interface with frequently used functions assigned to a convenient 10-key keypad. The large, flat sheet keypad ensures smooth and swift operation for quick access to essential functions.

Large 2.3-Inch High Visibility LCD

A standout feature is the 2.3-inch high visibility LCD, providing user-friendly, graphic-rich screens. The night mode option enables easy viewing in dark conditions, with the operating frequency displayed in large, easily recognizable characters.

Convenient "Flip-Flop" Channel Recall

Easily switch between channels with the "Flip-Flop" feature, which stores the last 10 channels used. Navigate through these channels using directional keys or the channel knob on the top panel, ideal for toggling between NAV and COM channels.

Smart Battery Management

The supplied BP-288 intelligent battery pack, with a capacity of 2350 mAh, offers up to 10.5 hours of typical operating time. The battery status screen provides detailed information, aiding in optimal charging and maintenance of battery health.

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