Icom IC-A6 VHF Air Band Radio

The Icom IC-A6 Air Band Radio has been called "the pilot's favorite handheld", and with good reason. It is designed for one-handed operation, making it easy to use while in flight!

The A6 has a large keypad that is well-labeled and a large alphanumeric text display for quick and easy reading. The keypad and display are backlit and the light stays on until you turn it off so you operate it while flying at night.

The IC-A6 features 200 memory channels (20 Ch × 10 banks) with 6 character names, NOAA marine weather channels and a dedicated 121.5MHz emergency key. The IC A6 stores the last 10 channels used and "flip-flop” buttons on the keypad lets you recall those channels easily. The side tone feature lets you hear your own voice through an external aviation headset.

The Icom IC-A6 airband radio also has an Auto Noise Limiter (ANL) for noise reduction, Tag scanning and memory bank scanning, time out timer and low battery indicatior. It can be powered with the included NiMH battery pack, 6 AA alkaline batteries (requires optional alkaline battery case) or through an external DC port that can be used to both charge the radio and provide external DC power. Optional Ni-Cd and Li-Ion battery packs are also available.

The Icom IC-A6 Air Band Radio comes ready to fly with removable antenna, headset adapter, belt clip, hand strap, NiMH battery pack, AC wall charger, owner's manual and a three year manufacturer warranty from Icom.
