6 Watts High RF Output Power

For expanded communication coverage, output power has been increased to approximately 6 W typical (PEP) 1.8 W (carrier) compared to the IC-A24E (5/1.5 W (PEP/carrier)).

Easy-to-use Interface

Often used functions are assigned to the ten-key pad and you can directly access the desired function. The enlarged flat sheet keypad offers smooth and swift operation.

Large High Visibility LCD

The A25’s large 2.3-inch LCD provides user-friendly, graphic screens. The day mode allows pilots to view the screen in direct sunlight and the night mode makes it easy to read in the dark.

“Flip-Flop” Channel Recall

The IC-A25NE stores the last ten channels used. You can easily recall those channels by using the directional keys or the channel knob or the keypad. This is convenient for switching between several channels, such as NAV and COM channels. You can also freely edit (replace, delete, and change order) the stored recall channels).

Built-in Bluetooth for Hands-Free Operation

A third-party wireless Bluetooth headset (for example: 3M™ Peltor WS 5 series*) provides convenient hands-free operation. Also, by using the optional VS-3 Bluetooth headset, the sidetone function can be used.* Compatibility not guaranteed.

Intelligent Battery with Detailed Battery Information

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. This is very useful for optimum charging and battery health maintenance.

Navigation Functions

Built-in GPS and Bluetooth® redefined navigation in the A25N. Design flight plans with an Android™ or iOS™ device and import them into the A25 with the Bluetooth® feature. While using GPS, the waypoint NAV will guide pilots to their destination. Up to 10 flight plans and 300 waypoints can be stored in the A25. Other navigational features, like VOR indicators, can help keep a pilot’s heading precise and alert them if they divert from course. All these functions and more increase safety up in the air.

VOR navigation functions

• VOR Navigation Functions CDI (Course Deviation Indicator) looks like a real VOR instrument and displays any deviation from your course.

• OBS (Omni Bearing Selector) enables you to change course from your original flight plan.

• TO-FROM indicator shows the position relationship between your aircraft and the course selected by the OBS.

• ABSS (Automatic Bearing Set System) enables you to set the current course as a new course.
