Compact and functional

Posted By: Geva Patz

Comments: The size is unbeatable for squeezing into a full flight bag; reception and sound quality are good. Some online reviewers have complained that the buttons are not intuitive, but I have found the unit easy to use if you spend a few minutes reading the manual. My only complaint is that the tuning knob on the top of the unit is very easy to bump - there's a 'keypad lock' function but it doesn't apply to the knob, so it's easy to tune yourself off frequency if you bump the unit while using it. Also, the unit comes with a rechargeable battery which works well and has a decent life between charges, but I would still have preferred the option of using in flight replaceable nonrechargeable AAs.

Great Radio

Posted By: Matt C

Comments: This radio is extremely small and compact so it can fit in even the smallest flight bags. I love how easy it is to use and how clear the reception is.

Worked as a back-up

Posted By: Allyn

Comments: I like this little transceiver. It replaced the ICOM that my dog chewed up. It has more features (which means more to learn), it has tiny keys (have to get used to that), and the antenna adapter has a lousy connection but it worked well in the air once I got the connection working.
