Hi
Can anyone help me with finding a hand-held transceiver which covers the full range of light aircraft frequencies + also goes into the upper VHF band (eg the 140s).
I am looking for this wider range to both receive and transmit in as I am both a PPL and also a paraglider pilot.
All I can seem to find is handhelds that cover EITHER the VHF GA frequencies OR the upper VHF bands usually used by free flyers. That means lugging 2 radios around whenever I travel + all the chargers etc - a real bore! And with a birthday coming up ......;-)
TIA for any info
