ICOM Aviation Radio Handheld IC-A25NE - NAV & COM Channels, GPS Receiver, Bluetooth

The next generation of ICOM airband radio convinced with higher transmitting power for better coverage, a bigger display, and other usefull features.

For expanded communication coverage, output power has been increased to approximately 6 W typical (PEP)/ 1.8 W typical (carrier) compared to the IC-A24E (5/1.5 W PEP/carrier). Often used functions are assigned to the keypad and you can directly access a desired function. The enlarged flat sheet keypad offers smooth and swift operation. The 2.3" large, high contrast and high visible LCD displays user-friendly, graphic screens and ensures good readability under direct sunlight. The operating frequency in large characters can be recognized at a glance. In addition, the night mode option enables easy viewing in low light conditions.

The ICOM IC-A25NE stores the last 10 channels used. You can easily recall those channels by using the directional keys, the channel knob on the 10 keypad. This is convenient for switching between several channels, such as NAV and COM channels. In addition, you can freely edit (replace, delete, change order) the stored recall channels. The supplied BP-288, 2,350 mAh typical intelligent battery pack, provides up to 10.5 hours of operating time. You can check the condition of the battery pack in the battery status screen. It is very useful for optimum charging and battery health maintenance. A third-party wireless Bluetooth headset provides convenient hands-free operation.

The CDI (Course Deviation Indicator) is detailed like a real VOR instrument, and displays any deviation from your course. The OBS (Omni Bearing Selector) enables you to change course from the original flight plan. The TO-FROM indicator shows the position relationship between your aircraft and the course selected by the OBS. The ABSS (Automatic Bearing Set System) function enables you to set the current course as a new course in two simple steps.

The near station search function assists you in accessing nearby ground stations. The function searches for nearby stations using the station memories that have GPS position information. To use the near station search function, position data and frequencies of the ground stations must be programmed. The simplified waypoint NAV guides you to a destination by using current position information from GPS (also GLONASS and SBAS). The waypoint NAV has two functions: Direct-To NAV and Flight Plan NAV. Up to 10 flight plans and 300 waypoints can be memorized in the ICOM IC-A25NE. Using the RS-AERO1A (Android) or RS-AERO1I (iOS) application, you can make flight plans on an Android/iOS device and import the plan into the ICOM IC-A25NE via Bluetooth. The following four functions are available: Create a flight plan, set Direct-To NAV, display flight plan information and display waypoint information.
