Good handheld for reasonable price
by Jim from Merrillville IN USA
Pros: Good battery life
Cons: Headset adapter required, PTT if you want to use hands free. Both are a little expensive.
Review: Used the radio initially to ferry my radio-less Citabria into a controlled airport for a new radio installation. No problem communicating clearly with the tower 14 miles out. Feel good about the unit now as a backup. Great for monitoring radio transmissions at fly-ins etc.

Almost Perfect
by Ahmed from Mactan airport, Philippines
Pros: Size, weight, signal, battery life time, sound quality, memory arrangment
Cons: Simple Head phones connection
Review: The device has met most of my expectations, it is perfect for student pilots, I really like the heavy duty body, the long battery lifetime, the light weight, dimensions, strong signal, easy memory arrangment and recall. Generally very reliable and easy to handle and use. But for me it has only lacked the option to connect a simple headphones, I know it needs the opc-499 to connect aviation headset but for headphones although it has a 3-conductor 3.5mm plug the headphones work on one side only

by Michael from Bealeton VA USA
Pros: Long battery life, direct access for fast channel changes.
Cons: Have not found any yet!
Review: A very nice transceiver in a small package. I work the field in construction/maintenance and this radio never leaves my side. I really like the long battery life and direct access controls. I have never had a problem with the tower hearing me like some radios I've used before. Thanks!

Sturdy product
by mike from springdale AR USA
Pros: Price, quality
Review: It has all the features most pilots would want, but the memory recall operation isn't as intuitive as it could be. Overall still a nice radio.

Highly recommended!
by A Customer from Gansevoort NY USA
Pros: Easy to use and sound is clear.
Cons: Can't really think of any.
Review: I like the fact that the radio doesn't take up a lot of space yet the sound is very clear and it has a long range. I also like the fact that not only can I store frequencies that I commonly use, but that I can keep it organized. Lastly, I like the fact it is simple to use. Once programming, I only have to hit the up or down arrow to change channels. I highly recommend this radio!
