SP-200 NAV/COM Transceiver
NOTE: Sporty's SP-200 is no longer available. Our new SP-400 Hand-held NAV/COM is available here.
Sporty’s experience operating a fleet of 18 airplanes enabled our pilots to engineer the SP-200 hand-held NAV/COM with unique features and pilot-friendly design. It is still the only hand-held radio to put communication, VOR navigation and localizer display in the palm of your hand. Now includes a handy “Last Frequency” button and 8.33 KHz frequency spacing (already in effect in Europe). Includes five year warranty, flexible antenna, removable wrist strap, alkaline battery case and instruction manual. Our SP-200 makes a terrific backup radio. Here’s why:

Large size not an issue for me since it stays in aircraft to be used for ATIS, Clearance and as an Emergency back-up radio. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It does exacly what I wanted it for. I can listen to ATIS at the airport before flying. I was one of the staff at a CAF Open House and it was fantastic to allow us to listen in to all pattern traffic. ConsI wish saving frequencies on memory were a little more intuitive but in no way is this a deterrent, I just need to read the instructions a little more carefuly, mayube I am just not doing it right. General CommentsIt is too early to comment about durability because I have not had it long enough, but it looks well built and the control knobs are firm but easy to use. A great piece of equipment and a great back-up in the cockpit in case of electrical failure. I fly out of a controlled airport in a Mode C area and it would be a great inconvenience not to be able to communicate with my airport's tower. I don't keep the batteries in it while I don't use it but I put them on every time I fly and I always take it with me. |

ConsI probably bought something not well suited to my current desires but that may be more useful going forward. What I probably should have purchased was a Radioshack scanner that covered the Aviation bands. I bought it to listen to aviation chatter to retrain my ears. the SP-200 does that quite well but I certainly do not need a transmit button at this time. I think the unit has more features than I have discovered yet but I have never been one to read manuals. General CommentsIt is a great product that is not what I needed. Not your fault. No matter, I am having fun with it regardless. |

Backlight feature is nice. Good reception ( I live near DCA, so I love the scan feature ). ConsI got the cigar plug to recharge, and I have found you cannot listen to the radio while it is plugged in. Complete hissing, squelch is no help. Not sure if the desktop nicad recharger is the same. General CommentsOverall, I am satisfied with the product. I had even accidentally ordered two of the remote antenna's, and I emailed Sporty's (I hoped in time) to let them know of my mistake, and they corrected the shipment no problem. |
