I picked up an ICOM A-24 hand held com and nav radio at OSH last
summer. I keep it clipped to the pocket next to me in the Bonanza in
case of emergency or to listen to ATIS, get a clearance, etc. I found
it laying on the floor of the plane last weekend. The pivot for the
clip had broken and the spring loaded belt clip came off. Apparantly
the spring pressure that closes the clip is just enough to push the
pivot pin thru the plastic attachment points over time.
The thickness of the pocket material it was clamped to is minimal.
ICOM is sending a new one, but I'll store it unclipped and inside of
the pocket from now on.
Just a head's up.
