It is better than I expected! Super easy to use. I am an A&P and use it to check elt plus atis while i do my flight training. Cant wait to build aircraft and use it in that!! ConsNONE so far other than the dual watch setting makes the transmission skip every other 3rd second.....took 8 times to get atis info until I figured out that was enable. Turned it off and it works great!! General CommentsOutstanding, from an A&P/ Soon to be Ppilot |

It has a lot of possibility. ConsThe programming instructions are the pits. I have yet to be able to program more than one channel at a time. I have worked in electronics for 40 years and have done a lot of keypad programming. I have worked independently and with others but the programming instructions appear to be incomplete.

General CommentsI was able to hear a commercial airplane at 18,000 feet and 20 miles from my house. In the air I was loud and clear up to about 10 miles from the airport at 3000 feet AGL. Over all it is a reasonable comms that will work great as a backup. |
