I received this radio a few days ago. It was packaged well with usb cable, dc power cable, comprehensive instruction manual, and AA battery pack. The unit is heavy, which usually means well built. The controls are easy to use and once you get the hang of it, tagging frequencies with a name is quick and easy. It has great volume, a solid squelch, large easy to read display. I find this unit comfortable to hold as well. I havent used it in a plane yet, but I am very pleased with my purchase.

I was holding out for the Icom but my friend talked me into trying it. No regrets. Fantastic price and performance. The menus are intuitive and the sound is crisp and clear. Will recommend to anyone.

I’m a new RPAS pilot , thus needed an air band transceiver to support that. Quite honestly, I choose this radio because it’s the cheapest one I could find. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now. It does everything it’s supposed too, very easy to program, very easy to use. Sound quality is great. I am very happy with my purchase . I’m glad I didn’t spend more for what I’m using it for.

THIS UNIT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS --- AT AN EXCELLENT PRICE

Great lil backup radio but the instruction manual is only a 1 Star.

I bought this to use locally while my radio is being replaced. While I havent made full use of it yet (havent used the memory functions) I am pleased with the ease of use and functions.

The radio works exactly as advertised! If I had to find a complaint, the only thing I could think of is that the four batteries are a tight fit and required some muscle to install.

Great quality, easy to use. Deserves the 5 star rating. Good radio for the money spent.

I have used this little radio for about a week and so far I havent had any problems at all. I was concerned about battery life because of a review I read but it has a monitor on the screen and it hasnt budged. There is a bit of static as you get further away from the airport but with a headset some of that goes away. It seems like a great radio and there is nothing comparable in its price range.

Loaded with the most useful features and comes with the accessories unlike most of the competitors who charge extra for the accessories. It is very well made and with reasonable care should last a long time. Range is excellent, volume is more than adequate, clarity is good too and the basic functions are easy to use, however the manual should be completely read to understand some of the more advanced operations.

Outstanding transceiver at double the price - at the price point its an excellent value and you wont go wrong. I use it to listen to ATIS and get my clearance before I even start engines. It serves as my emergency back-up radio as well. Comments on the antennae being easy to remove and not use the antennae as a handle are valid. Basically, take care of your gear and dont use the antennae for a purpose for which it wasnt designed. Bottom line, great radio for a fantastic price.

Excellent radio, everything works as advertised. The manual could be better, but fortunately the controls are so straight forward that it is easy to use. The speaker volume is really loud, a good thing for my old ears. The radio is bigger than it looks in the photos, but I really like the size. I think this radio is a great value.
