Verified Purchase
YAESU VERTEX FTA 750L HANDHELD VHF GPS
I was happy to buy this unit from AS it was actually a bit less than buying from Amazon, and I would rather patronise a regular business than the behemoth Amazon. The device was well packaged, arrived quickly. I havent used all the features yet, but I have been impressed with the Comms so far. For such a small radio, the clear-sight range is really good, way better than the 5-6 mile range others reported. I live 14 miles from KDYL, and I am able to hear the Unicom clearly from this distance, also from aircraft at 30,000 feet! I have yet to experience the poor battery life others have reported, but I have not used the GPS yet. I would advise however, like with all battery-operated rechargeable devices, perform a FULL charge first. If you dont, you will never realise full battery potential, whether it is your car, lawn tractor, or this radio.
It loads quickly when turning on. Saves favorite frequencies. Has GPS
Always happy with Spruce. Good job.
more than I expected, the service is fantastic.
Very happy, Clear sound, accurate GPS. Two channel monitoring feature a big plus.
Works as advertised. Amazing how many features can be packed into such a little device!
Tested the ILS function on this radio against the twin 430Ws in the aircraft that I fly professionally. Picked up the Localizer and Glideslope earlier, and matched the certified equipment exactly down to minimums. This feature alone makes the purchase of this radio an excellent decision as an emergency backup.
Excellent standby - the Lithium ion battery pack is supplemented with AA battery back up. I already went through the cost of another battery pack so you can use AA batteries is a big asset. Easy to use, adapter for headset. All you need to add is a push to talk for hands free.
Just purchased. Replaced an older different brand handheld that was in disrepair. I just used this radio to contact ATC from 8,000MSL, as a test. Unit works well and is easy to operate. There is nothing I would change. Great handheld radio. Excellent choice for an emergency radio.
