I just got this radio as i am starting my PPL flying lessons. Probably a bit of an overkill for my needs right now as i don't see myself using the NAV functions since they are all available in the airplane, but i think it's is a good back-up option and good for redundancy as with everything in aviation... I paid €349+shipping but i've seen them go for over €500 at some of the online retailers. 73s, 9A5ELO
I have the FTA-250L a good bit cheaper than yours, and it's comm only, but I do have the Vertex-Standard Pilot III which has Nav, but it's not of much use to me. Both have 8.33 step, but I never have to use it. That new one of yours looks a nice beastie!
Lovely airband radio. Thanks for sharing your pleasure of unboxing it. 😊
Thanks for watching!
