Great value per dollar - Reasonably Rugged Engineering - Lots of Gadgets and Features
As a pilot you know that this type of backup radio is never going to reach anyone 25 or 30 miles downrange, but for pattern work or to reach a nearby tower, it does the trick! This model is made in Japan and includes NAV/VOR/ILS features, but it's hard to envision fiddling with it as backup for an IFR approach - unless you were in a real lights out emergency. In any case, this baby has some cool attachments such as 1) the included aviation headset/mic adapter, 2) both UK and EU AC power plug adapters, 3) a 12V cigarette lighter power cord (with ferrous magnet thingy to stop engine interference), 4) a 6xAA power pack as backup in case your Lithium-Ion battery poops out, 5) a charging base, 6) an AC adapter (obviously), 7) a USB cable, and 8) a belt clip attachment (for serious geeks only). Some key user notes: 1) You cannot not use the AC or 12V adapters to run the radio - they are for charging only. 2) The USB attachment is used for programming the radio using software that you must download from Yaesu.com. In order to do that, you MUST go to the website, Register, and then SELECT the "OWNERS CORNER" page, and THEN add your product type to your product list. Then and only then will you see the downloads and manuals and materials for your particular model, including FIRMWARE updates. All of this is perhaps unnecessarily cumbersome, but it does work. You must also install the software and drivers to your WINDOWS PC in order to interact with the radio. Anyway, if you are going to be geeky enough to wear the 550L on your belt, you should be able to figure out the software! Have fun and safe flying - hopefully you'll never have to use it in the air!
