Anybody compared the two or had any experience with them?

Big Price Difference... I dont mind spending the money for the Becker,
just curious if the Microair is a good unit?


Just had a Microair die after about two years in a club ship. No
warranty stations in the US, has to be shipped back to Australia
for failures covered by warranty. Radio has excellent transmit
and receive quality when it's working, if you have the right mike.
Controls are tiny, not very intuitive to use, and are time-sensitive.
Not a great choice for a club environment, but a private owner
would get used to the limitations. Becker is definitely a better
radio if you want to spend the cash.
