VHF AIR BAND TRANSCEIVER

Innovation at itʼs Best.
OLED Screen with Easy Installation
High Visibility OLED Screen
The OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) emits light from itself, soa display backlight is not required. It provides higher contrast, wider
viewing angle of almost 180 degrees and faster response time thana conventional LCD. The IC-A220’s display has a wide active area,
allowing operating frequencies to be maximized in the display, while
operating status can be shown on both top and bottom of the display.

Large Switch Buttons
The IC-A220 has large switch buttons on the front panel. The most frequently used FLIP-FLOP (Frequency exchange) switch button is designed large enough to be pushed with ease. All switch buttons andknobs are illuminated with pure-white backlighting, which are the samecolor as the OLED display.

Auto Squelch Function
The squelch sensitivity is automatically adjusted in accordance with thenoise level to eliminate annoying background noise and unwanted signals.

Quick Squelch Adjustment
The auto and manual squelch including squelch level can be quickly adjusted with the Volume knob. The squelch test function temporarily opens
the squelch and allows you to monitor signals.

GPS Memory Function
When connected to an external GPS receiver* equipped with an airport
frequency database, the frequency data such as nearby airports can betransferred and made available in the IC-A220.
* Ask your dealer for available GPS receiver details.

Optional Power Supply PS-80 for the Ground
When combined with the IC-A220, the optional PS-80 power supply provides a convenient base station operation on the ground. The PS-80 includes built-in speaker and HM-176 hand microphone.

Auto Dimmer

Memory Channels

SPECIFICATIONS

The auto dimmer function sets display
and key backlighting brightness. The ICA220’s high sensitivity light sensor covers a wide illumination range.

The IC-A220 has 20 memory channels
and 20 history memory channels respectively. Often used memory channels canbe instantly recalled. Group memory
channels are organized into 10 memory
channels by five groups (total 50 channels). Weather channel scanning function
searches for weather channel signals.

Tx/Rx 8.33 kHz spacing 118.000–136.992 MHzExternal Dimmer Control
By connecting to an external dimmer
control system on the aircraft, the ICA220’s dimmer function can be linked
with the aircraft dimmer level.

Intercom Function
The IC-A220 has a built-in voice activated intercom function allowing the pilot
to talk with the copilot via the headset.
The IC-A220 has adjustable audio leveland squelch control functions.

Remote Control Capability
You can remotely control the FLIP-FLOP(frequency exchange), intercom and recall switches via the rear panel connector.

8.33 kHz Channel Spacing
The IC-A220 allows switching between
8.33 kHz and 25 kHz frequency steps in
the menu mode.
* Use of 8.33 kHz channel spacing may beprohibited depending on country.
