Looking to buy one or two com radios. I have (and like) an IC-A200 in my Long-EZ and would buy two more for my RV-8A today if they were still sold. Alas, all the used ones sell for almost as much as their cost new -- ridiculous for electronic gear. But it's hard to beat the pricing of the IC-A210, especially from Calgary Pilot Supply
Can an actual IC-A210 user give me a recommendation for that radio, either good or bad? I remember hearing of some undesirable operating characteristics with regard to its "dual watch" feature but then there was a firmware update and I wonder if that has cleared it up. Also, are there any issues with the unconventional way the panel is removed from the tray?
Thanks,
Joe
