## Overview

The Icom IC-A16 is a compact, rugged VHF aviation handheld radio featuring a 17-hour battery life, 200 programmable channels, and an IP68 waterproof rating. Designed for pilots and ground crew, it offers loud 1500mW audio with noise reduction, a dedicated emergency channel button, and a user-friendly keypad with side tone functionality, making it an essential flight companion for reliable communication in any environment.

## Description

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. Air band radios are usually operated in high noise environments, so it is essential for the pilot’s radio to provide loud audio. The A16 internal speaker delivers a loud 1500mW audio output with clear sound to cut through cabin or tarmac noise.

Review: Great product - This is a great aviation radio.
Review: Robustissima e affidabile - Prodotto ottimo. Robusta. Affidabile. Senza fronzoli. Certo con la stessa cifra si può acquistare una yaesu che fa anche il caffe. Ma la icom resta sempre la icom. È praticamente un mattone. Se vi aggrediscono la potete sempre tirare in testa al malvivente e tramortirlo :) . Scherzi a parte prodotto top per chi cerca arrosto senza fumo.
