I don't know the specific radio (new, isn't it?) but I'd be surprised if it wouldn't do that job for you.

However: I don't know if it has any problems working with a conventional aviation headset - that is a more important question. I have a variety of radios designed for other purposes, and none of those would work with an aviation headset microphone.

I bought me an Icom - the old big one with the (useless) VOR facility but with a headset adapter. That's done me good service over the years. It's most often used when on an IFR FPL to call for start clearance (saves the aircraft battery) and for getting ATIS and the like.
