    Pros

    We needed it for an event and Sporty's got it to us as described and on time. I've read this radio was hard to use, but we were to immediately use it with minimal manual reading. With the rebate, value is good, was watching a used one on ebay that came very the Sporty's price with rebate.

    Cons

    Again, haven't read the manual, so not sure of the range, but lost contact occasionally.

    A compact and versatile unit, Nicad battery with low-charge indicator. Came with headset adapter. User's manual is helpful

    Cons

    As others have observed, the unit is not especially intuitive. User's manual is essential.

    General Comments

    I am sure I will get more comfortable with the operation of the unit over time.

    The battery longs more than the time the manual give and is the best for the ruff

    Cons

    It does not work inside jet airplanes not even for the ATIS If you whant to use it indoor you need an extra antenna ... Outdoor in the car is the same... You need a biger antenna.

    General Comments

    I live in a saturated aircraft area and I don't know why sometimesu can ear trafic 200 mm far away and some times I can even ear the trafic 10 nm away... In general I like the product.

    Solid unit, good feel in the hand, great night lighting, excellent belt clip, good protective cover.

    Would like to see a lithium ion battery with longer life, needs a better instruction manual, range could be better.

    General Comments

    Overall I like it but this is my first handheld so I don’t have much to compare it to. Bottom line, I would recommend it.

    This is an extremely durable and well built unit. It's multipurpose functions are great and it's easy to see / read display is very helpful.

    A bit hard to understand the programming of memory channels. I went through it a couple of times, could just be me.

    General Comments

    All in all it's a great product and I would recommend it to any pilot.

    One of the best values in aviation today. Typical ICOM quality standards, easy to use and a highly valuable tool to have in the cockpit as a backup.

    Cons

    Antenna doesn't lock into place very well, you can accidently turn on WX alert (which screws up everything else)

    I bought three of these at the same time for my family and I and recommend them to everyone I know.

    Big easy to read display.
    40 dollar rebate making it a better deal.
    Easy to learn to use after reading the manual a few times.
    Reception is good, I listen to ATC and planes 80 miles away.
    Comes with headset adapter.

    Cons

    Manual could be easier to read.

    General Comments

    It will take a little time to figure out how to manually input names for frequencies you want to save but you'll get it if you persist in reading the book. It will not scan if you set the squelch to zero, so watch for that.
    This is a great emergency and ground function radio in my opinion.

    This radio was actually smaller than I what I thought it would be. Functions are easy to understand without opening up the manual, especially if you've used a handheld, before. The manual is very straight forward.

    Cons

    I put the value at 3 stars only because you can get a better bargain for a back-up only radio. As a student, I wanted to buy the most that I could afford to carry me through my career.

    General Comments

    I've used Icoms in Afghanistan and they stand up very well. I bought this radio since I've read too many stories online, in books and on podcasts about radios going out.
