ICOM IC-A24 Air Band Transceiver Radio

A close relative of the super popular ICOM A6, the ICOM A24 has a new line of features to make your flights even better. Referred to as "The Pilot’s Favorite Handheld," the ICOM A24 is packed with cool capabilities designed for pilots by pilots. Like other ICOM devices, the ICOM IC A24 is incredibly easy to use while flying due to its large keypad and display, both of which are backlit. Unlike other handhelds, they stay backlit until you turn them off to eliminate confusion and provide easy visibility during night flights. Additionally, you can hook the ICOM A24 up to an external DC power jack to simultaneously charge and operate it. Speaking of simultaneous operation, the USA version allows you to call a COM channel while using the VOR navigation.

The ICOM A24 has a storage capacity of 200 channels and automatically stores the last 10 channels used. For added safety it is water resistant and has a dedicated red emergency key for on-the-spot emergencies.
