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