I intend to buy a handheld.
"Flyingmonk" wrote in message ups.com... : : almostthere wrote: : Just got my ticket and I plan to purchase a handheld Nav-Comm for back-up : but it is said that they're useless at altitude without an external antenna : connection. What connector do I use (BNC?) and how do I go about doing this : on rented C172s? Any alternatives/suggestions? Thanks in advance. : : I'm thinking of doing the same(getting a handheld). Anyone have : experiences w/ the Yaesu's? Their prices seam to be a little better. : : Monk : Yes, I have the "Pilot" (don't remember the number, vxa-210?) that I picked up a number of years ago with the accessory AA pack, external antenna adapter, charger, and headphone adapter, all for a very good price from Avionics West (http://avionicswest.net/). Works very well, is solid and compact. I like it...
