Default I intend to buy a handheld.

Well, glad I got mine when I did.

Newps,


I have the VXA-700 because it has two-meter FM along with the
standard aviation stuff.



Unfortunately, the 700 is not available anymore. The 710 is the 700
without the 2-meter band. Apparently (it was never clearly said) there
were FCC issues with the 2-meter leaking into the airband or vice
versa. All of a sudden, they stopped offering the 700 with no real
explanation. That was about a year ago.
