IC-A24
Icom UK is pleased to launch its next generation of VHF Air Band handheld transceivers. The IC-A24, is the direct successors to the ever-popular IC-A22 Icom handheld radio. Just as that product broke new ground with pilot-friendly features, the IC-A24 continues the tradition by providing even more of the most pilot-requested features.
New features on the IC-A24 include a channel recall function that allows pilots to recall the ten most recently used channels with the touch of a button; a dedicated 121.5 MHz emergency key to allow pilots fast and easy access to the emergency channel. The new radio also has the ability to simultaneously charge and operate from an external power source, allowing pilots extra utility in the cockpit.
Usability is a top priority with a larger alphanumeric LCD display for easier reading in the cockpit. A large, easy to use keypad has been incorporated for fast frequency entry. Both the display and keypad are backlit, a very useful feature for night-time flying. In addition the lightweight, rugged unit is water resistant to IPX4.
There are a number of battery options available. Choose from a traditional Ni-Cd, the standard and reliable Ni-MH, or the lightweight, long-lasting Li-Ion. An AA alkaline battery case is also available. Some other key features are; 200 channel memory, allowing pilots to enter frequencies and six letter names for easy identification; side tone, (compatible with almost all aviation headsets), allowing pilots to hear what they are saying during transmissions; and automatic noise limiting, which helps to cut down engine noise while in the air.
