New, IC-A16E 8.33/25 kHz Ground to Air Support Radio from Icom

To complement Icom’s growing 8.33kHz range of Airband radios, Icom UK are pleased to introduce the IC-A16E 8.33/25 kHz ground to air support radio. The IC-A16E air band transceiver has been specifically designed for airside ground crew who provide aviation support.

The IC-A16E is compact, lightweight and has a high capacity Lithium-Ion battery pack (2400mAh) that can provide up to a typical 17 hours of operation so it can be used all day.

Six watts of transmitting power is built-in, enough to cover the largest of airports and get signals through and around thick walls and metal hangars. It has class-leading 1500 mW loud and powerful audio output to cut through environmental noise. And it’s rugged…and rain-resistant too…enough for the rigours of the aviation market.

The IC-A16E is easy to operate and ideal for large operations where shift workers may use the radio. The full-featured keypad allows direct input of channels and frequencies. 200 Memory channels and eight alphanumeric LCD characters per channel will enable you to allocate specific users a channel on the radio. A low battery indicator and beep alert are also standard features.

Ian Lockyer, Marketing Manager of Icom UK, said, ‘The simple to use IC-A16E is an ideal ground to air radio for airports and airfields. The no-nonsense design will make it a vital communication choice for airport operators.’
