Icom PS80
Desktop Power Supply Unit (120 VAC)
Professional Integrated Power Solution for Icom Aviation Transceivers
The Icom PS80 is a high-performance desktop power supply specifically engineered to convert Icom mobile aviation radios into professional ground-based stations. This integrated unit provides a stable 12.0 VDC power source from a standard 120 VAC (100V–240V compatible) input, ensuring that your avionics equipment operates with the consistent voltage required for high-wattage airband transmissions. Designed for airports, FBOs, and flight schools, the Icom PS80 allows for the seamless installation of a mobile transceiver directly into the power supply housing.
This comprehensive desktop kit is more than just a power converter; it is a complete base station conversion assembly. Depending on the version, the Icom PS80 typically includes the HM-176 hand microphone and the MBA-3 attachment adapter, providing all the necessary components for immediate stationary use. The rugged internal circuitry is rated for a maximum output current of 6 A, providing ample overhead for the Icom A220, A210, and A200 series radios during peak transmission cycles.
Constructed with a professional-grade steel chassis, the Icom PS80 is built to withstand the rigors of 24/7 flight operations centers. Its optimized thermal design ensures that the power supply and the installed radio remain cool during extended periods of monitoring. By utilizing the Icom PS80, operators can maintain mission-critical communications between ground crew and aircraft with the same reliability found in the cockpit.
