As part of our Winter fundraiser, the Red Star Pilots Association is holding its second aviation product raffle! We are featuring another essential pilot item, a brand new ICOM IC-A14 handheld radio transceiver as the first prize. This is a $250 value and will be shipped directly to the winner's address at the end of the raffle. The second prize winner will receive another essential tool for owners of most Red Star radial engine powered airplanes; a Steel Exhaust Pin Spanner Wrench.
The A14 is the ideal flight companion for any pilot. Whether you use it to check ATIS before engine start or as a backup radio in your plane with the optional headset jack, you will appreciate this versatile radio. Its 2300mAh Li-ion battery lasts over 15 hours and the radio includes a nice sit-in rapid charger.
Air band radios are usually operated in high noise environments, so it is essential for the pilot’s radio to provide loud audio. The A14 uses a BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the audio output. Its internal speaker delivers a loud 700mW audio output with clear sound to cut through cabin or tarmac noise.
