Review: Quality product. Best option for me. - I am an FBO line technician. I communicate with Ground, as well as scan to know what's coming in. Transmits clear as a bell, and receives all the way from my house 6 miles from the airport. Automatic noise reduction keeps reception clear even when I'm using power equipment. It comes with a basic product manual that references a FULL product manual available online. I never could find such a manual that tells you how to use all the functions (groups, scanning memory, etc.). There are several YouTube videos that show you some of that stuff. Battery lasts a whole eight hour shift with mostly a full battery. I may try two shifts to see if it'll last that. Also, prompt shipping, received exactly the quality product I ordered. I expect years of use. ## Features - Full keypad to input the channel or frequency directly - Exclusive button for 121.5MHz emergency channel - Side tone function to hear your own voice via a third party aviation headset (not included) - BNC type antenna connector - Li-ion Battery - BP-280 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07RF9YT9S | | Additional Features | Noise Reduction, Waterproof | | Audible Noise | 30 Decibels | | Battery Average Life | 17 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,393 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #2,561 in Car Electronics | | Brand | ICOM | | Built-In Media | 2400mAh Li-ion battery, rapid charger | | Color | Clear | | Compatible Devices | External antennas, third-party aviation headsets | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (152) | | Frequency Range | TX: 118.000–136.99166 MHz RX: 108.000–136.99166 MHz, 161.650–163.275 MHz | | Item Weight | 9.1 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Icom | | Mfr Part Number | part_B07RF9YT9S | | Model Number | IC-A16 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 200 | | Talking Range Maximum | 20 Kilometer | | Tuner Type | VHF | | UPC | 731797032683 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Waterproof Rating | IP68 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ICOM - **Color:** Clear - **Frequency Range:** TX: 118.000–136.99166 MHz RX: 108.000–136.99166 MHz, 161.650–163.275 MHz - **Included Components:** 2400mAh Li-ion battery, rapid charger - **Item Weight:** 9.1 Ounces - **Number of Batteries:** 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. - **Number of Channels:** 200 - **Special Feature:** Noise Reduction, Waterproof - **Talking Range Maximum:** 20 Kilometer - **Water Resistance Level:** Waterproof ## Images ![Icom IC-A16 VHF COM Aviation Handheld - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41d6uAjhfQS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the frequency range of this radio?** A: According to the spec sheet, it will transmit on 118.000 - 136.99166 Mhz, receive on 108.000 Mhz - 136.99166 Mhz.

Mine was shipped from Sarasota Avionics which Is where I grew up. They been in business I think at least 25-30 years, they been there long as I can remember. Shipping was fast up to NY brand new sealed box working perfectly. I’m not near an airport but I pick up planes between Syracuse to Canada no problem. It great unit for pilot emergency comms or me that just like to listen. So I do recommend this unit. ## Frequently Bought Together - Icom IC-A16 VHF COM Aviation Handheld - BC-213 Battery Charger Compatible with Icom IC-F2000S IC-F2000 IC-F1000 IC-F1000S BP-280 BP-280LI BP-279 BP-278 IC-A16 Radio Charger - Aimtobest BP-279 BP-280 2200mAh Li-ion Battery Compatible for ICOM IC-A16 IC-A16E IC-F1000 IC-F1000S IC-F2000 IC-F2000S IC-V88 IC-U88 Radio BP279 BP280 with Belt Clip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/125514208-icom-ic-a16-vhf-com-aviation-handheld](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/125514208-icom-ic-a16-vhf-com-aviation-handheld) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
