## Description

ICOM Comm-Only Aviation Transceiver

Review: Great product - This is a great aviation radio.
Review: Quality product. Best option for me. - I am an FBO line technician. I communicate with Ground, as well as scan to know what's coming in. Transmits clear as a bell, and receives all the way from my house 6 miles from the airport. Automatic noise reduction keeps reception clear even when I'm using power equipment. It comes with a basic product manual that references a FULL product manual available online. I never could find such a manual that tells you how to use all the functions (groups, scanning memory, etc.). There are several YouTube videos that show you some of that stuff. Battery lasts a whole eight hour shift with mostly a full battery. I may try two shifts to see if it'll last that. Also, prompt shipping, received exactly the quality product I ordered. I expect years of use.

- Full keypad to input the channel or frequency directly
- Exclusive button for 121.5MHz emergency channel
- Side tone function to hear your own voice via a third party aviation headset (not included)
