IC-A16 - VHF Air Band Transceiver (COM Only)

The A16 is the ideal flight companion for the student pilot. This radio practically pays for itself by saving pilots both engine hours and fuel during preflight communications with the tower. Users appreciate the A16’s compact, waterproof design for one hand operation for working on the flight line, using it for back up in any aircraft, or for use by ground crew. Its 2400mAh Li-ion battery lasts over 17 hours and the radio includes a nice sit-in rapid charger.

Two Versions

• IC-A16 basic version
• IC-A16B with Bluetooth - for use with Bluetooth compatible aviation headsets and the ICOM VS-3 Bluetooth Headset

Loud Audio
