RST 542 comm "help please"

The FCC currently requires that an aircraft radio has either 720 or 760
channels with 25 KHz spacing. As a result such radios as the 10 channel
Genave Alpha 10 are not on the obsolete radio list, nor are any other radio
with less than 720 channels. They are obsolete by definition. There is a
link that identifies obsolete 720 & 760 radios on the following web page:

you are right about the genave 10, but not the 100 or certain models
of the betea. There is a website easily googled that you can check if
the radio is legal. If not, I would buy an older Icom A21 and use the
akaline battery pack which will run 40 hrs on 10 AA's
