Having experienced and successfully survived my first complete electrical

to which hand-held transcievers I might looking into buying.

All suggestions are welcome...

Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend the AvTek battery backup. Google for AvTek and you
should get his site, or look in the Aircraft Spruce catalog. It
guarantees an additional 40 - 60 minutes of electrical use and is very
small.

I have it and hope I never need it, but know I've got something I may
not be able to live without.

I also have the iCom handheld to answer your question directly.

HTH.
