Sporty's PJ2+ COM Aviation Handheld Radio with Easy-to-Read Oversized Screen

This radio is incredible. I haven’t had to use it for an emergency yet, but I’ve used it to listen live as students solo. Works phenomenally and the headphone jack plugin feature is something I think is worth every penny.

All of the features listed work as expected easy to program lots of frequency memory, good range no complaints I use a power bank to power mine and it works just fine. If you're only using this occasionally, remember to take the batteries out. Unattended batteries leak and damage the product.

It's such a relief to order something and it just works. No getting mad at it, no cryptic or weird instructions that I can't understand. It just works. I can hear air traffic all over my county just as clear as in the cockit. The "recall scan" is an especially cool feature: whatever frequencies you have saved into memory, it will scan just those, several times per second, finding you any chatter that is going on. One thing you need to understand before ordering, which isn't a defect, but just inherent to AM radio in general: Using the USB C power source is going to cause major interference, probably to the point that you can't squelch out the noise. This is due to the electric current near the transceiver. For best experience, plan to burn through some batteries.

Easy to use good battery life. Excellent speaker.

Works well. Ease to use and the battery lasts. Was much more affordable than other options. Given the limited functionality it could be a little smaller.

This hand-held is a fantastic backup. I take it up every time. Uses standard GA headset jacks. The manuals are detailed and cover all the major functions. The unit is a bit weighty, but not too big to fit in a flight bag, or on the dash. It's matte-black finish is durable and clean-looking. The reception is good, given the antenna length.

Great so far I use it a work since I work at airport to monitor tower while in high speed snow equipment, just wish it would show options, like rechargeable battery and antenna recommended for the unit.

One day I wasn’t sure if COM in C172 was working. Just moved my headset onto this great little radio and carried on with no issues. Also useful for checking AWOS or ATIS prior to firing up your bird. If you love just hanging out at the airport before a flight, you can monitor comms to get a feel for the ATC environment. Powerful radio. God Range. Clear in the headphones. Reasonable cost. I think I caught it at $50 off. A really good deal if you get the time right.
