I intend to buy a handheld.
2 comments for you -
1. I don't need an external antenna on my Icom A23 - it works fine - even for homing in on elt's in Search and Rescue training. The Nav may help in an emergency but don't expect too much from it. Do you have a gps yet? That would be my first buy HTH Tony -- Tony Roberts PP-ASEL VFR OTT Night Cessna 172H C-GICE In article t, "almostthere" wrote: Just got my ticket and I plan to purchase a handheld Nav-Comm for back-up but it is said that they're useless at altitude without an external antenna connection. What connector do I use (BNC?) and how do I go about doing this on rented C172s? Any alternatives/suggestions? Thanks in advance.
