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.

Awesome
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.

Headset doesn't fit
My headset has a plug that looks just like the ICOM plug, so I bought this brand instead of Yaesu. My headset fits the FRS/GMRS radios I have, and I thought the plugs would be standardized. Nope. ICOM's plugs are brand-specific by a few millimeters. They offer only a OPC-2401 adapter, which offers two 1/4 inch and one PTT, so don't even offer an adapter that fits my headset. And I'm not going to drop $85 on an adapter, plus components, then cut into the adapter and solder things. Unless the support people offer a really good deal, this radio is getting returned.
