Icom A6 or A24
Oh great skygods.......some advice please.
I'm a newbie PPL student wanting to buy a handheld to gain some familiarisation with RT.
I thought at first, I would buy a scanner to listen in, and upgrade to a handheld transceiver later as a backup.
Looking at the price of decent scanners, I now think I might as well put the money into a good handheld transceiver from the get-go.
Looking at the options, it seems that the ICOM is the pick of the crop.
Now to decide between the A6 and A24.
Main difference appears to be VOR on the A24.
Sooooo..... Has anyone thanked their lucky stars they had VOR on their handheld or is it a big fat waste of money?
Thanks
