Default Glider radios from Europe etc

I replaced my FSG71M with an FSG2T that I got from Ross Drake. It was a simple plug and play drop in and I love the radio. I think Dittel's are the best, and the FSG2T is great. The biggest improvement over the 71 was the addition of variable squelch.

Nice big display and easy interface. Get a 2T and you won't regret it.

There are some nice features of the FSG2T over the FSG71M. The dedicated single knob squelch control that Kevin 2B mentions comes to mind.

One feature of the FSG71M that I wish was in other transceivers - the dedicated single knob frequency memory selector. During soaring travels I set up memories for the host airport unicom, AWOS, 123.3 and 123.5, then maybe other area airport's unicoms. Makes is very fast to move between frequencies.
