Product Review

Simple one-handed operation is the most essential feature of the IC-A6. The well labeled, large keypad provides user friendly operation. The large display shows both letters and numbers and is easy to see, making for fast frequency recognition. The display is back lit, and so is the keypad. The light stays on until you turn it off- a very handy feature for flying at night. The IC-A6 stores the last 10 channels used. You can easily recall those channels by pushing the "flip-flop" recall buttons on the front panel. It is convenient for switching between several channels, such as NAV and COM channels. An external DC power jack allows for operation with the wall charger. The water resistant construction provides reliable operation in wet conditions. *Equivalent to IPX4 of the corresponding international standard IEC 60529 (2001).Also includes a battery pack, wall charger, antenna, headset adapter and belt clip.Additional features include: 200 memory channels (20Ch x 10 banks) with 6 character names, dedicated 121.5 MHz emergency key.
