    Pros

    This is a very good radio. I decided on this one, because I went to a local flyin and almost all the ground controllers had this radio. I'm a student pilot and I bought it so I could listen to the tower. I live 2 miles away from the airport and I can hear the tower very well and most of the traffic when they come in on runway niner. When I am doing touch and goes, I give the radio to my girlfriend and she can follow along on the ground.

    Cons

    Stored channels do not show the frequencies and the directions are a little confusing.

    General Comments

    This is a very good radio. I did a lot of research on the web including looking a a lot forums. This always got very good reviews. I am glad I bought it.

    Excellent transciever. Able to pick up transmissions from my home 15 miles from the field in dense mountainous terain. Not bad for VHF. Programming not as easy as some but instructions will guide you through it.

    This radio is difficult to use even with the instruction booklet included. I wanted a simple to use handheld for a backup radio and have spent several hours trying to learn to use this unit.

    Display/backlighting.

    Once set up, accessing critical frequencies is good.

    Cons

    Programming a bit involved/counterintuitive at first.

    General Comments

    Documentation is sketchy in places, but it looks as though with some experimentation it will get you where you need to go.

    Worked as expected--I even tried it in the air and it did fairly well.

    Cons

    Instructions are very hard to understand, especially the part about programing it.

    General Comments

    Very good product for the money. The instructions need to be rewritten but I bought mine for emergencies and it will serve me well if I ever need it for that.

    I carry as back-up so don't use often. Takes set-up and practice to use well. But, it has always worked when I needed it.
