IC-A16 Air Band Radio.jpg



This is an Air Band radio. It's specifically for aircraft communications. The radio uses AM modulation. Some radios have an Air Band receive function but you need a purpose built radio for the Air Band to get the transmit function.

This will be an interesting radio to add to my collection.

The official brochure you can download at the below link.

I got a decent price on this radio used. It comes with the radio core, antenna, battery pack and a charger base. I did have to purchase a programming cable from BuleMax49er's. They're a very good source for quality programming cables for just about any radio out there.

The use, transmitting, of an Air Band radio is VERY strictly controlled. There is no issue with receive only operation. Hefty fines are levied for illegal use. The FAA and the FCC are not screwing around with this.
