Changes to Icom UK’s 8.33 kHz Airband Handheld Radio Range

The Icom IC-A6E and IC-A24E have been an indispensable safety tool for pilots for almost a decade and a half. However time now has moved on, and Icom Inc. is ceasing manufacture of these models in favour of the recently launched IC-A25NE NAV COM and now the IC-A25CE COM only 8.33kHz/25kHz Airband VHF radios. Both models will also be available in ‘Sport’ and ‘Pro’ packs to suit users’ requirements.

The IC-A25CE 8.33kHz/25kHz VHF Airband transceiver is the latest COM only Airband radio from Icom. It features 6 watts of output power, a stylish modern design, easy-to-use interface and large 2.3-inch LCD combine to provide stress-free programming and easy in-flight operation. The 8.33kHz/25kHz handportable is ideal for customers who want a no-nonsense easy to use radio including ground support and other professional users.

Its sister NAV COM radio, the IC-A25NE has the same features of the IC-A25CE and was launched earlier in the year. The IC-A25NE is ideal for pilots that are looking for a dependable higher tier radio with Bluetooth, built-in GPS and flight plan navigation functions.

‘Sport’ and ‘Pro’ packs are now available for both models:

A ‘Sport’ pack is available as the IC-A25CE or IC-A25NE transceiver with BP-289 AA Battery Case, CP-20 cigarette lighter cable with DC-DC converter, MB-133 belt clip, FA-B02AR antenna and hand strap.

A ‘Pro’ pack is available as the IC-A25CE or IC-A25NE transceiver with BP-288 Li-Ion battery pack, OPC-2379 headset adapter cable, BC-224 rapid desktop charger, BC-06 AC adapter, CP-20 cigarette lighter cable with DC-DC converter, MB-133 belt clip, FA-B02AR antenna and hand strap.

Our 8.33kHz/25kHz Airband VHF panel mount range including the IC-A120E, IC-A210E (for ground support) and IC-A220T (aircraft) remains the same.
