Yaesu FTA-450L Airband VHF Comm

Très bien fait facile à opéré

My 3rd handheld over the years, this one to replace my larger and heavier Icom A24 (cockpit comm/nav backup), intended primarily for on-field comms. Choice was based on high reviews, Li-Ion batt, size, lighter weight, price, basic features. Pros: very good TX/RX voice quality, quick selection of features (eg, Wx, generous freq memory, freq scanning). Easy setup, excellent user manual; re-charges quickly. Includes convenient charging cradle, 12v vehicle accessory charger, emergency backup AA (6) batt tray. Cons: none Too early to comment on batt life, comm range, durability, etc, but put it to work out-of-the-box and nice to have a reliable handheld that doesn't feel like a cement block after carrying it all day. Purchased the optional earbud, works well for clearer voice when out in winds. This is a basic comms handheld; would expect the FTA-550L and -750L with nav and GPS would make great cockpit backups. Made in Japan.

La uso para operar en CTR como piloto profesional de drones. Se siente de muy buena calidad, la batería dura mucho.

I am so glad that I bought this handheld radio. My first uses of the radio was just for merely listening to ATC and getting an idea of the communication flow in and around an airport's airspace. The reception from my home in The Bahamas was really good for the Tower and the Departure/Approach frequencies considering that I live roughly 8-10 miles from the airport. Now that I have started flight training I carry it with me on flights to have as a backup and also to use it to save time when it comes to getting my weather information from the controllers before a flight. I have already had to use it once during a flight because I encountered some difficulty with the Push-To-Talk switch in the airplane. This radio is a great backup to have with you in the airplane! It is one more added safety feature so why not have it? You never know when things can go wrong. From that moment on I knew that this radio was a good buy. There are other radios out there that come with a whole lot of other features like Navigation and VOR's, but for me those are totally unnecessary. This radio suits my needs perfectly, a good, BASIC communication radio without any extra bells and whistles. The battery life on this handheld lasts VERY long, considering that I don't use it much other than for getting the ATIS and listening to traffic in my spare time. If for some reason I had to purchase one again whether it be for me or a fellow aviator I would definitely do so.

Me ha gustado, pero no tengo idea porque era un regalo
