I bought an Icom A-22 many years ago. It's a sturdy radio, but I have lost
one of the rubber knobs (inner). Also, the NiCd cells lost their ability to
hold charge after 5 years. Recently I rebuilt the battery pack myself. As
good as new. The VOR accuracy appears to be good, but have not used it in
flight. .

I am thinking of purchasing a hand held radio (tranceiver).

Can anyone recommend one ? I am a student pilot.
