The Icom IC-A25C is a powerful air band COM handheld with 6 watts of power and an IP57 waterproof rating; weather cannot stop these radios. The handheld transceiver includes a large 2350mAh Li-ion battery, providing a long operating time. The easy-to-use interface and large 2.3-inch LCD display combine to provide stress-free programming and in-flight operation.
Class-Leading High Power RF Output
Output power is increased to approximately 6 W typical (PEP) and 1.8 W typical
(carrier) compared to the previous IC-A24 (5/1.5 W (PEP/carrier)). This expands
the communication coverage and enhances the safety of aircraft operation.
Easy-to-Use Interface
Often used functions are assigned to the 10 keypad and you can directly
access a desired function. The enlarged flat sheet keypad offers smooth and
swift operation.
2.3 inch Large High Visibility LCD
The large and high visibility LCD provides user-friendly, graphic screens.
The night mode option enables easy viewing in the dark. The operating frequency
in large characters can be recognized at a glance.
Intelligent Battery with Detailed Battery Status
The supplied BP-288, 2350 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.
“Flip-Flop” Channel Recall
The IC-A25C stores the last 10 channels used. You can easily recall those
channels by using the directional keys or the channel knob on the top panel.
This is convenient for switching between several channels, such as NAV and COM
channels.

Q: does this handheld accommodate plugging into a headset
A: Yes, it does. This includes a headset adapter that allows you to connect directly to the radio.
Q: is there a AA battery back up for the IC-A25C? Also, is there a lithium battery pack that can be bought for the IC-A25C Sport?
A: Yes, there is an optional Icom BP-289 Alkaline Battery Case for IC-A25.
For the Icom IC-A25 Sport, you could add the 2350 mAh Li-ion BP-288 Battery and the Icom BC-123S 100-240V AC Charger.
Q: what is the difference between the IC-A25C and the IC-A25C Sport?
A: The Sport models includes an AA battery pack instead of the rechargeable battery and charger.
Q: Will this radio work on the military frequencies such as 255.6 or 257.8 for McGuire AFB? If not, do know which radio will?
A: Hello! I am sorry, but we do not have a recommendation on where to find a military-grade handheld transceiver.
These radios will only pick up standard aviation frequencies: TX (COM) 118.00-136.975MHz, RX (COM/NAV) 108.00-136.975MHz, RX (Weather) 161.650-163.275MHz
