IC-A25N Airband Handheld | Comm & Nav, GPS, Bluetooth, Euro Plug

The IC-A25 Series Airband Handheld Transceivers feature a six-watt, high power transmitter that expands communication coverage for enhanced safety. An IP57 waterproof rating allows these radios to continue to operate even in severe weather. A large 2350 mAh Li-ion battery provides operation up to 10.5 hours.

Built-in GPS and Bluetooth® redefined navigation in the A25N. Design flight plans with an Android™ or iOS™ device and import them into the A25 with the Bluetooth® feature. While using GPS, the waypoint NAV will guide pilots to their destination. Up to 10 flight plans and 300 waypoints can be stored in the A25. Other navigational features, like VOR indicators, can help keep a pilot’s heading precise and alert them if they divert from course. All these functions and more increase safety up in the air.

The easy-to-use interface combined with a large 2.3-inch LCD display offers stress-free programming and in-flight operation. Day mode allows pilots to view the screen in direct sunlight and the night mode makes it easy to read in the dark. Frequently used functions are directly assigned to the 10-keypad allowing quick access to common functions while the enlarged, flat sheet keypad offers smooth and swift operation.

This version is a communications and navigation, European style handheld transceiver with a 220V power plug. Also includes an antenna, battery pack, belt clip, headset adapter, hand strap, and owners manual.
