Default Anyone take an ICOM on a commercial flight?

The question is why would you want to do this. On most flights ATC is
available on the inflight entertainment system. \


"Most flights" Hardly.
United is the only one who does this to my knowledge and ATC-on-9
(officially "from the cockpit") is entirely at the captain's
discretion.

Notwithstanding that, the radio and the GPS stay in the flight bag
for the duration of the flight.
