Perfect Companion for Aviation Enthusiasts

Whether you’re up in the air or traveling on land, the ICOM A25C Handheld Airband Radio is the perfect companion for any aviation enthusiast. Through trial and error, I found that this radio provides crystal-clear sound for communication in the cockpit or with ground control. Its lightweight and compact design makes it a great addition to any pilot’s equipment. The only downside is that it may not have enough range for those traveling long distances, but it’s perfect for local flights. Overall,

Pros
  • Large, easy-to-read LCD display and keypad make it user-friendly, even in low-light conditions.
Cons
  • May experience interference from other radio frequencies due to the lack of a built-in noise filter.

Excellent Air Band HT

I am satisfied with this transceiver because its sensitivity is excellent, better than my old one. The display is beautiful, the controls are very convenient. The radio is well built and charges using the included mount, car charger or wall charger. Good flexibility when traveling.

Pros
  • Portable AV
Cons
  • Unsafe

Model C has NO Bluetooth!

Although the radio is EXTREMELY good, the A25C does not have bluetooth. Only N does. The descriptions for 2 are nearly universal and it is not specified to distinguish them. However, I even emailed icom to make sure the Model C had bluetooth before I bought it and they told me it did. I turned it on and quickly found that it wasn't. I'll be bringing it back for the navigation version, but I can honestly say it's very intuitive and well done in my limited experience with it.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • not reliable
