High Visibility OLED Screen<\/h3>\n

The OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) emits light from itself, so a display backlight is not required. It provides higher contrast, wider viewing angle of almost 180 degrees and faster response time than a conventional LCD. The IC-A220\u2019s display has a wide active area, operating frequencies\u2019 characters can be maximized in the display, while operating status can be shown on both top and bottom of the display.<\/p>\n

Large Switch Buttons<\/h3>\n

The IC-A220 has large switch buttons on the front panel. The most frequently used FLIP-FLOP (Frequency exchange) switch button is designed large enough to be pushed with ease. All switch buttons and knobs are illuminated with pure-white backlighting which are the same color as the OLED display.<\/p>\n

TSO\/ETSO Certification<\/h3>\n

The IC-A220 TSO version can be used as a primary VHF radio in general aviation (part 23) aircraft*. The IC-A220 TSO version is also accepted as an ETSO radio under the TSO\/ETSO reciprocal acceptance policy.<\/p>\n

* For more details, please see the Environmental Qualification Form on\u00a0www.icomamerica.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Auto Squelch Function<\/h3>\n

The squelch sensitivity is automatically adjusted in accordance with the noise level to eliminate annoying background noise and unwanted signals.<\/p>\n

Quick Squelch Adjustment<\/h3>\n

The auto and manual squelch including squelch level can be quickly accessed with the Volume knob. The squelch test function temporarily opens the squelch and allows you to monitor signals.<\/p>\n

Auto Dimmer<\/h3>\n

The auto dimmer function sets display and key backlighting brightness. The IC-A220\u2019s high sensitivity light sensor covers a wide illumination range.<\/p>\n

External Dimmer Control<\/h3>\n

By connecting to an external dimmer control system on the aircraft, the IC-A220\u2019s dimmer function can be linked with the aircraft dimmer level. The external dimmer control can be used on either 13.8 V or 27.5 V electrical systems.<\/p>\n

Intercom Function<\/h3>\n

The IC-A220 has a built-in voice activated intercom function allowing the pilot to talk with the copilot via the headset. The IC-A220 has adjustable audio level and squelch control functions.<\/p>\n

Memory Channels<\/h3>\n

The IC-A220 has 20 memory channels and 20 history memory channels respectively. Often used memory channels can be instantly recalled. Group memory channels are organized into 10 memory channels by 5 groups (total 50 channels). Weather channel scanning function searches for weather channel signals.<\/p>\n

8.33 kHz Channel Spacing<\/h3>\n

The IC-A220 allows switching between 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz frequency steps in the menu mode.<\/p>\n

* Use of 8.33 kHz channel spacing may be prohibited depending on country.<\/p>\n

Remote Control Capability<\/h3>\n

You can remotely control the FLIP-FLOP (frequency exchange), intercom and recall switches via the rear panel connector.<\/p>\n

9 V Power Supply Operation<\/h3>\n

As the TSO specifications require, the radio continues to work with the reduced power supply voltage.<\/p>\n

Configuration Menu<\/h3>\n

To improve operability, menu items are divided into two modes, a settings menu and a configuration menu. Seldom-changed settings can be set in the configuration menu, while normal settings can be made in the settings menu.<\/p>\n
