  • Quality
It is very good and reliable transceiver. Good quality.

  • It takes it to a new level
So this is not going to be like a normal review. I have a previous Yaesu handheld which I found quite satisfactory. The major drawback, if you can call it that, is that using it in a all-power out backup radio situation would require screwing in an adapter, removing the headset from its airplane jacks, and plugging into the handheld. That is a lot to do while handflying in the dark with a power fail. The bluetooth ability was the key. I tested it and, on my Bose headset it connected on powering up the handheld without any need to press anything (after pairing it) and that is what I wanted. I ended up getting a higher end unit than I initially thought, because I was intrigued by the gps/vor/loc/ils functionality. I tried that on an actual approach, a gps approach, and I looked at the unit on the way down. It was suprisingly accurate, within one dot of lateral and vertical. I actually expected more mismatch just because of the difference between gps and ILS signals. I used it with a phone mount I have in the aircraft. I put the belt clip on, and used that to secure it on the phone mount, but it would have worked without it as well. Bottom line, is, this unit is everything aircraft had before moving map GPS came around, placed into a single battery operated box. Its like a single, hand held survival system for an aircraft. The not so good features? The display definitely bites it. It washes out easily in sunlight (yes, not the kind of weather you are going to need it in in emergencies). It paired with my Bose, but not my earbuds, a bad sign (it didn't even see them). If you do use it in an emergency, you are going to need some fancy footwork, since it cannot do an ILS and talk on the radio at the same time. Its a single channel device. You would need to tell the tower you are going off channel. Finally, no, it is not a legal replacement for ILS. But then a full power fail is an emergency, and you can use it in an emergency. I have an Ipad as well, but that is not going to give a glideslope. Again, its really a marvel what this technology has achieved. I think it is worth the money. ... show more

  • Great radio for general aviation…
I have bought multiple radios from different brands before, and this one seems to be the best one. I use it for general aviation, and it gets the job done right. There are lots of cool functions and the Bluetooth works perfectly with my BOSE headsets. The battery life is great, and lasts multiple flights. The navigation features work well and you can almost shoot approaches with it. (Do NOT do it as it is NOT legal unless during emergencies. I only tried it when I was a passenger.) Overall, great value for the money! ... show more

  • Great Aviation Transceiver
The media could not be loaded. PROS: - Group Memory Name is now displayed during scanning mode — finally; - Alpha-Numeric Tags displayed once scanning locks on to a frequency — finally; - Color Display is vibrant; - GPS quickly locks on to satellite and is accurate; - My PIC tested the RX/TX while flying his Gulfstream G650, and he gave it 5-stars with air:air, air:ground, and air:air communications; - My PIC tested the FTA-850L’s avionics, and all passed with decent accuracy — nothing he would rely on, but it worked with decently accuracy; - Easy to program once you understand the logic or illogic method of Yaesu; - It is durable and water resistant; - The RX is really good — I can pick up aircraft and ATC comms from my house with the OEM rubber-duck antenna; - The speaker is loud; - TX voice quality is excellent; and, - Yaesu is very generous by supplying all the accessories you will need as a PIC: headphone:mic adapter, ferrites, cradle-charger, 12V charger, antenna, battery, AA battery adapter, programming cable, and different outlet sockets. CONS: - The color display sucks in direct sunlight and outside — the natural light and direct sunlight blacks out the display — I can’t read anything — I have to be in the shade to see the data (see picture); hence, the reason I gave this product 4-stars; my FTA-450L, has no problem showing data in the sunlight (see picture); - I can’t charge the battery alone in the cradle — I have to keep the battery attached to the transceiver, which means, even though I can use the battery from my FTA-450L, I cannot use my FTA-850L if I need to charge the battery. Fortunately, I can use my FTA-450L as a battery holder while charging the spare battery; and, - Bluetooth doesn’t connect to my Motorola Earpiece and PTT FOB. I guess I have to use the Yaesu Bluetooth earpiece. Notwithstanding the CONS, I am still happy with my purchase. It is definitely a good transceiver for back-up RX/TX in the event that the onboard flight RX/TX goes out for some reason. I ain’t a PIC; hence, I use the FTA-850L strictly as toy to entertain me while I am at home, at the FBO or civilian airports, and up in the air in a private jet or commercial plane, as a passenger. As a passenger, I use the FTA-850L’s avionics to track my PIC’s flight path to and from LAX, SFO, JFK, and LGA while up in the air — pretty cool, and I enjoy it. My private jet PIC carries the FTA-850L in his flight bag as a back-up RX/TX tool — he doesn’t use the FTA-850L’s avionics to navigate nor land — it’s strictly a communications back-up tool for him.

  • #1 Air Band Radio in my book!
Fantastic radio with the option to plug in your headset. It comes with GPS and several navigation features too. The manual is thorough and easy to follow, but it’s so easy to figure out just by exploring it directly. This radio goes with me on every flight and I can rest assured that in the event of an emergency - loss of comms or navigation - I’ve got this radio to bring me safely home. ... show more

  • Perfect for connecting on the aircraft band.
Excellent radio for the air bands, with clear audio and reasonable transmit power/clarity.
