Got one of these myself, and found it compares very favourably to the Icom range.
It has Com and NAV frequencies, plus a load of preprogrammed frequencies like major ATC and ATIS units in UK and Europe.
Also it comes complete with the all important headset adaptor.
However, I did have to purchase the PTT button separately - I ordered this from the USA for less than £20.00
Works fine, and has a good range even using the rubber duck antenna.
Also has a beefy 1700mah battery which I think exceeds the spec of most of the Icom range.
All in all, very impressive!
