ICOM A6 - The Pilots Favorite Handheld
The Icom A6 is easy to use while flying because of its most essential feature: simple one-handed
operation. The well labeled, large keypad provides user friendly operation. The Icom A6 has a large display that shows both letters
and numbers and is easy to see, making for fast frequency recognition. The A6 display and keypad are both backlit and the light stays
on until you turn it off – a very handy night flying feature.
ICOM A6 “Flip-flop” Channel Recall
The Icom A6 stores the last 10 channels
used and you can easily recall those channels by pushing the “flip-flop” recall buttons on the front panel. This feature makes it
convenient for pilots who need to switch between several channels, such as COM channels.
External DC Power Jack
The Icom A6 external
DC power jack allows for operation with the wall charger, BC-110 or the cigarette lighter cable, CP-20. When the A6 battery pack is
installed, simultaneous charging during operation is also possible. In addition, an optional battery case, BP-208N, is available.
