ICOM IC-A220_TSO Air to Ground Panel Mount Airband Radio (TSO Version)
Easy to Install Panel Mount Airband with White OLED Display and White Key Backlight
Air to Ground Panel Mount Transceiver
The ICOM IC-A220 panel mount transceiver is a popular fit with experimental and light sport pilots. The TSO-Approved Version will work for all certified part 23 aircraft. This air-to-ground transceiver can work on both 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz channel spacing frequencies. It features the brightest OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display on the market, offering many advantages in brightness, vividness, high contrast, wide viewing angle, and response time compared to a conventional display. The IC-A220 also features a built-in two station intercom, 12 or 24-volt-compatible, and automatic squelch.
High Visibility OLED Screen
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's display has a wide active area, allowing operating frequencies to be maximized in the display, while operating status can be shown on both top and bottom of the display.
Large Switch Buttons
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 colour as the OLED display.
TSO/ETSO Certification
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.
Auto Squelch Function
The squelch sensitivity is automatically adjusted in accordance with the noise level to eliminate annoying background noise and unwanted signals.
Quick Squelch Adjustment
The auto and manual squelch including squelch level can be quickly adjusted with the Volume knob. The squelch test function temporarily opens the squelch and allows you to monitor signals
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 in the IC-A220.
Auto Dimmer
The auto dimmer function sets display and key backlighting brightness. The IC-A220's high sensitivity light sensor covers a wide illumination range.
External Dimmer Control
By connecting to an external dimmer control system on the aircraft, the IC-A220's dimmer function can be linked with the aircraft dimmer level.
Intercom Function
The IC-A220 has a built-in voice activated intercom function allowing the pilot to talk with the co-pilot via the headset. The IC-A220 has adjustable audio level and squelch control functions.
Remote Control Capability
You can remotely control the FLIP-FLOP (frequency exchange), intercom and recall switches via the rear panel connector
9V Power Supply Operation
As the TSO specifications require, the radio continues to work with the reduced power supply voltage.
8.33 kHz Channel Spacing
The IC-A220 allows switching between 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz frequency steps in the menu mode.
* Use of 8.33 kHz channel spacing may be prohibited depending on country.
Memory Channels
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 five groups (total 50 channels). Weather channel scanning function searches for weather channel signals.
Configuration Menu
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.
