The Icom IC-A16E is a professional handheld airband transceiver built for pilots who demand reliable, clear communication in any condition. Operating on the aviation VHF band (118–136 MHz) with both 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz channel spacing, it meets current airspace requirements and delivers class-leading 1500 mW audio output to cut through cockpit noise.

Compact, waterproof, and rugged, the IC-A16E is designed for real-world aviation use — whether you're flying GA, instructing, or working ground operations.

New Zealand Compliance Notice: Beware of overseas versions that do not carry New Zealand approval. All Pilot Shop IC-A16E units are sourced through authorised NZ channels and carry the R-NZ approval marking as required by CAA and Radio Spectrum Management (RSM). Using a non-approved radio in NZ airspace carries strict penalties.
