ICOM IC-A200 VHF Air Band Transceiver
Available as:
IC-A200 - 118-137 MHz VHF aircraft radio
IC-A200B - 118-137 MHz VHF base aircraft radio
There's
no substitute for simply the best when it comes to communications equipment
in an aircraft.
Icom's high-quality VHF communications
transceiver, the IC-A200 gives you a vital capability and offers the best.
The IC-A200 is ___
-
Easy to see.
-
Simple to operate.
-
Durable and compact.
It has ___
-
Full frequency coverage.
-
9 memory channels.
-
Remote control capability.
Easy-to-see function display
All important information is provided
in extra large characters for easy viewing, day or night. Effective viewing
angle increases side visibility making the IC-A200 easier to read.
At all times, the USE and STBY (standby)
window frequencies simultaneously appear on a large function display.
Illuminated switches and function
display
Switches and the function display
are illuminated for night flying. Illumination dims and brightens in synchronicity
with the aircraft panel.
Simple to operate
The automatic squelch function eliminates
the need to make inconvenient squelch adjustments.
All required functions are activated
with a minimum number of switches and controls.
2 ways to select the desired frequency
-
Direct frequency selection
A desired frequency can be selected
in the USE window directly.
-
Indirect frequency selection
Allows you to select a desired frequency
in the STBY window. Pushing the [arrow] switch exchanges the USE window frequency for the STBY window frequency.
Remote control capability
Memory channel selection and exchanging
of the USE and STBY window frequencies can also be accomplished with remote
switches.
Hence, you can place these switches
in the most convenient place.
3 kinds of tuning steps
The transceiver has 2 concentric
tuning knobs. The small tuning knob provides 50 kHz tuning steps. When
the small tuning knob is pulled out, 25kHz tuning steps are selected. The
large tuning knob offers 1 MHz tuning steps.
These features cut down on the time
and trouble it takes to tune your transceiver to the desired frequency.
Full frequency coverage
The advanced IC-A2O0 covers 118.000
- 136.975MHz continuously in 25kHz tuning steps. A total of 760 communication
channels are available.
9 memory channels
For storing ATIS, ground control,
tower, company radio, and many other required frequencies, 9 memory channels
are included.
Memory protection capability
Once you've chosen the frequencies
you want to reside in the IC-A2O0, you need not worry about losing them.
To prevent unwanted changes, your
Icom Avionics Dealer can specify any number of memory channels as protected
channels.
Durable construction and stable
output power
The dependable die-cast body ensures
ample heat dissipation and a stable 7 W of RF output power.
In short, it's made to last in an
environment of abrupt temperature variations.
Intercom functions
With additional wiring aboard the
aircraft, an intercom function allows you to talk with your crew.
Compact body for easy installation
Measuring just 6.3(W) × 1.3(H)
× 10.7(D) in,* the IC-A200 neatly fits
the mounting brackets used on most aircraft.
Required connectors are also included.
* 160(W) ×
