New to site, Just recently purchased a 1998 Adventure 2. Would like to replace the com radio with something up to date. it currently has Mavicom IC-A22 but looking to get something newer. Would like reasonably priced, hand held or base thanks.
To see this working, head to your live site.

To: thehubbards1. Here is a very good overview of WingBug done by Aero-News about a year or so ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH5jKbKnax4. Enjoy the video.
Have you thought about purchasing a WingBug system?
thhubbads, how have you liked ForeFlight? Do you use a Sentry for your traffic (ADS-B In) ? I like the built in carbon monoxide alert and the weather. What do you use? In my Luscombe I am putting in a Becker RT6201-Remote Controlled VHF Transceiver and in the Aventura II I have a Garmin GNC 255. These are modern up-to-date radios that would allow you to talk with anyone safely and dependably.
Looks like a good radio with a bunch of features. I wouldn't buy a radio with a gps as there are much better products for navigation. Like a map on your phone or a separate Garmin.
I have an older ICOM IC-A14 and has worked well but sometimes I sometimes get feedback that other aircraft are having problems hearing me (3/5). I have the ICOM wired to an external antennae too.
If I was to get something else I would go panel mount with more output power like a Flightline (but obviously more $$).
