Can the IC-A220T tune simultaneously in both 8.33kHz & 25kHz?

The IC-A220T (#51) works in both 8.33kHz & 25kHz channel spacing and this is selectable from the front panel. Some owners have mentioned that they would like to be able to tune both simultaneously, i.e. 25kHz - 8.33kHz - 8.33kHz - 8.33kHz - 25kHz and so on.

Our latest production version of the IC-A220T (#52) will tune as described.

We can offer customers who wish to enhance their IC-A220T that are not the latest production model an 'upgrade modification'. However, the upgrade will be at our production facility in the USA, so the radio will have to be forwarded onto there and will also incur a charge. As part of the process, the radio will have its TSO approval history revised and 8130 form re-issued in line with the factory modification.

The upgrade is chargeable, and you will need to return your radio to Icom UK. We will book your radio in and get it turned around as quickly as possible. We estimate this to be around 5 weeks, however it may be a little longer.

For more details of this upgrade, please call our Avionics team on 01227 741741 or via email at sales@icomuk.co.uk. You will need to quote your serial number at time of call or mail to book on and a copy of your sales invoice to complete the application.
