Did VHF transceiver need TSO certificate?

Gentleman,

We want to know whether VHF transceiver in ultralight aircraft need
TSO certificate. Is there non TSO VHF transceiver which was used in
ultralight aircrafts?

Thanks for all.

A VHF radio only needs to be TSO'd if the aircraft is registered in the
IFR category. Thanks Michael

That is NOT true.

Your right in the US Jim and that is probably where the OP was asking from
but look at the address of "user." He is in the land down under. Maybe they
do have to be TSO'd there.

It would have to be, as there is no such thing as "IFR Category" here
(but there is on Oz).

Very true and sort of confusing when it comes to homebuilts. I can't quite
understand the reasoning behinde the fact that "I" can install any NAV/COM
in my plane including one I built myself if I so desired and shoot IFR
approches in IMC but can't use a brand new 430W that "I" install to shoot
GPS IFR approches but can use the same 430W to shoot ILS approches.

TSO is only required for part 135 operation (comercial) in the US. For
example, the KX-170B that was the main NAV/COM used for many years, is
not TSO'd. The KX-175 is the TSO version of it.
