Pilot Handheld (COM only)
Simple operation (One-handed) "Flip Flop" frequency recall feature (10 Ch) 200 Memory channels (6 Character Alpha Tagging) Side-tone function, with standard G.A. headsets	ANL (Auto Noise Limiter) reduces pulse noise Operation/charging from external DC power jack TOT (Time Out Timer) function

Easy to use while flying!
Easy one handed operation with large well labeled buttons making it easy to access functions. The extra large LCD display is easy to see both letters and numbers for quick frequency recognition. Both the display and keypad are backlit and stay lit until you turn backlighting off a handy feature for flying at night.

Flip - Flop Channel Recall
The A6/A24 stores the last 10 channels used. You can easily access these channels using the "Flip-Flop" buttons on the front panel.

Water resistant
The IC-A6/A24 has water resistant construction, equivalent to IPX-4 grade, which provides reliable operation in rainy conditions.

Operation from External DC power jack
An external DC power jack allows for operation via either the CP-20 cigarette lighter cable, or BC-110 wall charger. When the battery pack is installed, simultaneous charging during operation is also possible. For those that don't want to worry about battery life there is also an optional battery case available (BP-208N).

Other Features:

• One touch access to 121.5 MHz emergency channel
• Large capacity 1650mAh Ni-MH battery pack standard
• NOAA marine weather channels
• Innovative "TAG" scanning and memory bank scanning
• ANL (Auto Noise Limiter) for noise reduction
