Icom's most affordable (VHF) Air Band Transceiver (For Pilot Applications)

Simple operation Rugged construction Output power 5.0 W (PEP) 1.5 W (CW) Loud audio output (BTL Amplifier - 700mW) Full air band coverage (118-136.975 Mhz) 200 memory channels (8 character alpha tagging) BP232N Li-Ion battery supplied (18 Hrs typical) Side tone function, with standard G.A. headsets Auto noise limiter (ANL) reduces pulse noise Water resistant construction (IPX4)

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-A15/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 or Simple keypad type

 The IC-A15 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-A15S 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-A15/S series is compact (only 120mm tall) and light weight (approx. 350 grams including antenna and BP-232N). The waterresistant 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-A15/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-A15 only. The IC-A15S has 100 memory channels and memory banks are not available.

BC-179 holder type battery charger. The battery charger, BC-179, securely holds and charges the radio, even in bumpy conditions.

The cigarette lighter cable, CP-22, can be used with the BC-179.
