Icom IC-A220 Base Aircraft Two-Way Radio
One of the key features of the A220 is its ability to work on both 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz channel spacing frequencies. This flexibility allows pilots to communicate with air traffic control regardless of the frequency spacing used in their region.
Another notable feature of the A220 is its OLED display, which is the brightest on the market. The OLED technology offers many advantages over conventional displays, including higher contrast, wider viewing angles, faster response times, and greater vividness.
In addition to its communication capabilities, the A220 also features a built-in 2-station intercom, making it easy for pilots to communicate with passengers or other crew members. The device is compatible with both 12 and 24 volt power systems, and it has an automatic squelch feature that helps reduce background noise during communication.
Overall, the Icom A220 panel mount transceiver is a versatile and reliable tool for pilots who need to communicate with air traffic control and other crew members while in flight.

White OLED Display and White Key Backlight
The IC-A220 has a bright organic light emitting diode (OLED) display with a wide 170-degree viewing angle. White characters on a black background give the viewer clear, easy to read operating information. The white key backlighting and white OLED display match a modern plane’s instrument panel. In addition, the auto dimmer function adjusts the display for optimum brightness for either day or night.
Easy channel selection
It is fast and easy to select any of the memory channels in the IC-A220. The “flip-flop” arrow button switches between main and stand-by channels. The dual watch function allows you to monitor two channels simultaneously. Additionally, the improved auto stack memory stores the last 20 channels used and allows you to recall those channels easily.
GPS memory function
When connected to an external GPS receiver equipped with an airport frequency database, the frequency data such as nearby airports can be transferred and made available.
12V/24V DC power source
The built-in DC-DC converter accepts a 12/24V (11.5–27.5V) DC power source. The IC-A220 is easily installed in most airplanes or vehicles.
