“Flip-flop” channel recall -- The IC-A6/A24 stores the last 10 channels used. You can easily recall those channels by pushing the “flip-flop” recall buttons on the front panel. It is convenient for switching between several channels.

CDI mode display -- The IC-A24 has VOR navigation functions. The DVOR mode shows the radial to or from a VOR station and the CDI mode shows the course deviation to/from a VOR station. You can also input your intended radial to/from the VOR station and show the course deviation on the display. In the USA version, the duplex operation allows you to call a COM channel, while you are using VOR navigation.

External DC power jack -- An external DC power jack allows for operation with the BC-110AR 110v wall charger or with the optional CP-20 or CP-19R cigarette lighter cable. When the battery pack is installed, simultaneous charging during operation is also possible. In addition, an optional battery case, BP-208N, is available.

Water resistant construction -- The water resistant construction provides reliable operation in wet conditions. (Equivalent to IPX4 of the corresponding international standard IEC 60529 (2001).)

FEATURES OF THE ICOM A14 . . .

Introducing the all new IC-A14, a Lithium Ion (Li-ion) powered air band transceiver and weather report (WX) receiver. Offering plenty of the features that other Icom hand-held radios are known for, the A14 offers all of the Icom ruggedness and reliability that the brand is known around the world for. Icom's "V Speed Audio" cuts through cabin noise. The A14's 700 mW audio output, combined with a BTL amplifier, offer outstanding volume and clarity. The LCD screen with programmable channel names lets students quickly and visually ID who they're talking with. 200 Memory channels and 8 alphanumeric LCD characters per channel allow for plenty of customized settings. A low battery indication and beep alert are also standard features. more details . . .

700mW* loud audio
Because air band radios are usually operated in high-noise environments, it is essential for the radio to provide loud and clear audio. The IC-A14/S series employs a BTL amplifier that doubles the audio output, offering loud and clear audio that’ll cut through cabin or tarmac noise.
* Internal speaker only

Full keypad type
The IC-A14 full keypad type allows you to input the channel or frequency directly and has an exclusive button for the 121.5MHz emergency channel. The IC-A14 receives NAV and WX channels. The IC-A14S simple keypad type provides simpler operation with a minimum of buttons that is suitable for ground crews.

Compact, light weight and rugged body
The IC-A14/S series is compact (only 120mm tall) and light weight (approx. 350g including antenna and BP-232N). The water resistant construction, equivalent to IPX4, provides reliable operation in wet conditions.

Large capacity Lithium-Ion battery pack
With the 2000mAh large capacity Lithium-Ion battery pack, BP-232N, the IC-A14/S series provides stable output power and 18 hours long (approx.) operating time*. The BP-261, battery case takes 6 AA (LR6) alkaline cells for convenient battery backup.
* Typical operation, Tx:Rx: Stand-by=5:5:90.

200 channels with memory banks
A total of 200* memory channels can be named with an 8-character channel name for easy recognition. For fast and simple operation, these channels can be grouped into 10 memory banks*.
* IC-A14 only. The IC-A14S has 100 memory channels and memory banks are not available.
