To answer your question, you can't go wrong with the Sporty's handheld. Now it actually will do a full ILS with glideslope, which is pretty amazing if you think about it. I have the older one which will do VOR/LOC but no glideslope. Truth is I've only had to use it once, and that taught me a valuable lesson. It's great to keep batteries in it, but if you live in any kind of climate with humidity you also have to periodically clean the contacts on the plugs for the headset adapter otherwise it ain't gonna' work!

I'll bite: That's a really nice airplane.

Yep....very fast and maneuverable but not easy to handle and quite demanding. Once mastered, it's oh so rewarding. :wub:

You guys can have the Spitfire. I'll take the girl.

What girl? There was a girl in the picture? Oh yeah - darned if there was! I mean girls are nice and all - but that's a Spitfire!

I'm happy with the low price Yaesu HT. VXA-220 (c $170). I had an ICOM for many years and never used the NAV portion. Suddenly it would not work from battery, only on DC or AC adapter so I gave it away and bought the Yaesu. Works good and I only use the Alkaline battery pack. I don't use it enough for the recharables.
