ICOM IC-A6 Handheld VHF Airband Radio

ICOM

Part No. IC-A6

We are pleased to announce the launch of the latest airband transceiver…the IC-A6. The IC-A6 is the direct successor to the ever-popular IC-A3 series of Icom handheld radios. Just as those products broke new ground with pilot-friendly features, the IC-A6 continues the tradition by providing even more of the most pilot-requested features. The IC-A6 design incorporates the size and durability of the IC-A3 with improved usability. The IC-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. 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. 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 and COM channels. The IC-A6 shares the same battery packs and case with the Icom 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. 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. 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
