Date - 9-17-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes |  Nice size. Works well. Great peace of mind while flying or just sitting at the airport listening in. ConsYou better be ready to read the manual. It is not an intuitive setup.

Date - 8-26-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Radio is lightweight and has good features. ConsProgramming takes a while and gets somewhat easier the more you do it but still takes a lot of steps. Programing software and cable are priced high. General CommentsGood radio for the price. |
Date - 7-20-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | As a lady with a small hand size I found the Spirit's small size to be perfect for my grip. I am very pleased with the easy-to-push buttons, clear reception, water resistant casing (!), long lasting battery life (so far), as well as the size and weight of the radio. ConsMenu operations will take some time to learn and acclimate to for me, as a beginner. It would be nice if the manufacturer put more in their user manual! General CommentsOverall, I am pleased with the radio, and am looking forward to years of satisfied use. Thank you, Sporty's! |
Date - 7-15-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | It's a great little receiver if you're within antenna range. ConsIt doesn't pick up much where I live. General CommentsI like it and would promote it. |
Date - 5-22-2009 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Commentscompatible with a series of vertex/yaseu products -- uses the same batteries, mics and other accessories. |
| Light weight is a big plus. User interface is not intuitive. ( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 4-10-2009 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | small, powerful, strong case, easy to use after its set up. Vertex could have done a better job of making the interface easy to use, for example making the SELECT button say ENTER. I looked at the other radios, read the reviews, bought the radio and like it. |
| rugged,compact,powerfull Consswivel belt clip, antenna wants to pull it sideways General Commentsif you need one raido to do multi functions this is it |
Date - 3-16-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Very easy to use if you read the manual. Te manual is very easy to read .

Date - 12-3-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | This transceiver is amazing. It does everything sporty's radio does and way less bulky (no offense Sporty's just not my cup of tea to have bulky transceiver) The reception with the default antenna is better than average (for perspective I can receive DFW Tower and ATIS about 7mi away at my house albeit with the squelch open) Still a great transceiver and product (it's even submersible!) Awesome transceiver. ConsEveryone always complains about the intuitive buttons on this one and yes I love technology but you do have to read the manual to get the more advanced functions. The real reason you might have to read the manual is not to know how to push the buttons but rather what the radio is saying because of all the different radio bands it receives it labels them as VFO and such and within different bands different keys don't have functions etc. The manual isn't hard to read though and very informative if you actually read it. I've got all my frequiencies programmed now and just have the scanner scan those instead of wasting all the time scanning everything in between 118-136.

Date - 11-11-2008 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | small and compact, amber backlit display makes it easy to read night or day. Memory Recall and label very easy to use. ConsButtons can require harder press than expected, and power on has delay. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
