ICOM IC-A16 VHF Air Band Transceiver Analog Walkie Talkie 3W-5W with Communication Distance of 3km-5km

The ICOM IC-A16 is the ideal flight companion for pilots. This radio practically pays for itself by saving pilots both engine hours and fuel during preflight communications with the tower. Users appreciate the ICOM IC-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.

In line with the Icom brand, the ICOM IC-A16 Series is designed to operate in the harshest of environments. It’s compact, boasting a waterproof design (IP67/IP54) and built to MIL-STD-810 (C, D, E, F, G) for the best durability.

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