I'm a student pilot, and it's about time for me to get a radio. For
general
soaring purposes, what's a decent handheld? I really know nothing about

I have never seen the SP-200 so can't comment. You will never go wrong
with a Vertex or Icom, they are the Toyota and Honda of that particular
market.
