VHF radio choice

[jakej]

I have an ICOM A210 as does a sister aeroplane. Works great for us including the monitoring of the standby frequency which a poster commented on some time ago. There may very well have been better choices for us back then (2 or is it 3 years) but no complaints for these flying school aeroplanes.

No question on the performance of the Icoms, just the DESIGN of the A210. Leave it in the panel and all should be okay, the 'issues' develope as a result of install/removal - to do with the stupid ribbon interconnecting the face to the body, no other manufacturer does that these days. As for monitoring, not quite correct as it scans the standbay frequency which is a very different animal - a topic for another day maybe.
