Overview
The A25N is a powerful air band handheld with 6 watts of power and an IP57 waterproof rating; weather cannot stop these radios. The handheld includes a large 2350mAh Li-ion battery, providing a long operating time. The easy-to-use interface and large 2.3-inch LCD display combine to provide stress-free programming and in-flight operation. This handheld features built-in Bluetooth®, GPS and VOR navigation.
The A25’s large 2.3-inch LCD provides user-friendly, graphic screens. The day mode allows pilots to view the screen in direct sunlight and the night mode makes it easy to read in the dark. Navigation functions Built-in GPS and Bluetooth® have redefined navigation in the A25N. Design flight plans with an Android™ or iOS™ device and import them into the A25 with the Bluetooth® feature. While using GPS, the waypoint NAV will guide pilots to their destination. Up to 10 flight plans and 300 waypoints can be stored in the A25. Other navigational features, like VOR indicators, can help keep a pilot’s heading precise and alert them if they divert from course. All these functions and more increase safety up in the air.

Reviews
A little complicated to operate but not unmanageable. A bit of learning curve like all new electronics. At least it has some dials and buttons. A few too many extra features for my liking but it works great

AA battery pack was missing .i specifically asked if it had one. So frustrating when you need a radio and the battery is low, at least with AA battery pack you can have a solid charge in minutes.

good service
So far this unit has preformed excellent, its well made and easy to use.
Great product, delivered promptly, well packaged, easy to use.
I bought the A25N which is a Nav/Com, although I really didnt need it. Th A25 is more user friendly then the older A24 or A6, with programming and general use. Controls do what you expect them to do, which I cant say for the A24/A6. The next few comments is the only reason why I didnt give it a 5-star. The mic placement is down towards the bottom, in an odd place. The headset jack is a modified version of the one they used on the A24/A6, which the adapter has to be trimmed down to fit in the jack completely. The bluetooth feature is only used for the GPS, it would have been nice if it could have been used for programming and updating the software.

Please note, Aircraft Spruce Australia's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce Australia assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.
The price for the product will display when you select which voltage you need from the drop down menu. It is offered in both 110v and 220v versions for use in different countries. North America is 110v, many other countries require 220v for the charger.
Yes it does.
No, it does not have ILS / LOC features. It is only VOR NAV capable.
No, the GPS signal is receive only on the Icom A25N radio. It will not display a moving map or send the signal to another device. It is used for position data so that the radio can display and tune to nearby frequencies and NAV points. The Bluetooth feature is audio only.
This unit is not designed to be permanently powered by aircraft power. Using the optional CP-20 cigarette lighter adapter, the unit can be powered by a 14 or 28-volt DC system by simply plugging it into the jack.
No, the headset adapter has an input port for the addition of a push to talk switch. You will need to order part # 11-09131 separately to add push to talk to this radio.
No. The headset adapter will not work, but the PTT will work with the headset adapter that comes with the A25.
The manufacturer user manual only references one headset being connected via Bluetooth. With that said, you would need an intercom to connect two separate headsets.
No, per Icom, using it while charging can damage the unit.
Yes, Icom makes a mic for the A25N, see part # 11-15470.
