Jantar 2A opinions sought by
Mark Navarre
I am considering the purchase of an Open Jantar 2A and would like to hear
descriptions of the handling quirks and likes/dislikes from current or past
Jantar owners. I have over 400 hours in an ASW-20 and would like something

Nolaminar
The only time that 121.5 is monitored is over the ocean or very remote areas.

121.5 while over the continental US.
