Subject:Re: Handheld transceivers recommendation?
From:Andrew Sarangan

I researched this issue a while back, and decided that Icom A-5 was
the best value for the dollar. Based on review articles, it had the
clearest reception and the most powerful transmitter, and one of the
smallest sizes. However, it does not have NAV capability. But I do not
consider NAV function as a very useful feature in a transceiver. A
handheld GPS is a far better tool in an emergency than the NAV radio
in a handheld.
