Navcom - handheld VS panel ?
Hello everyone - my first posting here.
I'm in the process of equipping my Earthstar thundergull with avionics.
This is a very light tandem 2 seater.
I was wondering what type of navcom to go with...handheld or panel
mounted.
Panel space is limited , so a panel radio choice would probably be the
Microair. But this is substantially more expensive than handhelds.
What are the disadvantages of a handheld ?
Would you recommend a specific handheld make & model ?
The aircraft does have an external antenna.
I do intend to fly into class C & D airspaces.
I do need intercom.
I do need squelch.
All input much appreciated.
thanks
