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.

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

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.

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)

Pros
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.
