    • Great Aviation Handheld Transceiver!
First, a fine radio in terms of reception, sound quality, and compact form factor. Second, very affordable and comes with a lot of great accessories - rechargeable battery and recharger, aviation headset adapter (nice touch that the adapter can screw in to the radio body for more security). My venerable old Sporty’s SP-400 finally had one too many issues so I’ve replaced it with a Yaesu FTA-250L and wow, what a difference in terms of improved quality, features, accessories, performance and smaller/lighter form factor. I compared it with the new Sporty's PJ2+ and it still wins hands down. A really cool feature is that the Yaesu has a digital squelch instead of an analog knob like the SP-400 and it seems much more intelligent. I’ve been listening to aircraft communicating with Charlotte approach that fly the pattern over our house and it is crystal clear. Calling for fuel on the ramp is great. It is smaller and lighter as I mentioned, which makes it easier to hold on to, but I am also impressed with the accessories. The package included an adapter for standard aviation headphones that screws on to the transceiver body to make it much more secure. No data on battery life yet but supposed to be good. Good memory functions, straightforward interface, and ability to also pick up the weather bands, just like the SP-400. Good labeling function on the memory – can spell out KEQY AWOS or CLT APP easily. Great product! ... show more

    • Perfect Backup Radio for the flight bag.
The Yaesu FTA-250L looks and feels like a well-made, durable unit. Using the manual I was able to easily learn its functions. Operation is simple and easy to remember. Reception and transmission are loud and clear. At first, I had difficulty making it charge in the charging cradle, but once I realized how to place it in the cradle, the indicator light is red when charging and it turns green when fully charged. This unit will be a perfect backup for the flight bag and great portable unit on the ground. I am very happy with my purchase. ... show more

    • Useful tool when working at an airport.
I am a line mechanic at night. Our trucks do not have a VHF radio in them to be able to listen to morning wake up calls. Normally we ask pilots to flash their lights if they have issues that need to be addressed. But with all the other vehicle lights and beacons sometimes it is difficult to pay attention. Not every pilot understands to use lights either. Sometimes the call our office handset. Which does a person waiting in front of aircraft no good. I have mine Scanning four frequencies. Airport Ground, Taxi, Operations and of course Maintenance. Good battery life, volume is good inside truck with windows up. I have only used in receive mode only. ... show more

    • Nice little radio.
I use it as a back up to my aircraft radio. I carry with me whenever I fly. Reception is good. Transmit power seems okay too. I also use it when aircraft is not powered on, and I need to call ground (occasionally). Works good for that.

    • A great radio
This has been the best thing I have gotten for my aviation training. It is so much fun and full of practical value as well. I am not sure what the housing it made of, but this thing is solid. I have dropped it on the pavement and it is no worse for the exepreince. -- I use this radio before and during my preflights. I can toggle between the AWOS and the CTAF and get all sorts of advance information about weather and traffic before starting the engine. I have used it to talk to planes in the pattern and it has done great. It also serves as a back-up radio in the plane and it is just fun to have while around the airport to hear what is going on. Highly recommend. ... show more

    • OK but there has to better
Purchased as a backup radio. I am disappointed with both the transmission and receive range. I expected a lot further range. The radio is made well and easy to use. I thought about returning it, but decided to keep it.
