## 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.

## Features

- 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)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome
*by C***S on March 5, 2020*

I’m not sure how anyone can be disappointed with this unit, it’s a frigging icom and they don’t make junk. Mine was shipped from Sarasota Avionics which Is where I grew up. They been in business I think at least 25-30 years, they been there long as I can remember. Shipping was fast up to NY brand new sealed box working perfectly. I’m not near an airport but I pick up planes between Syracuse to Canada no problem. It great unit for pilot emergency comms or me that just like to listen. So I do recommend this unit.
