color display too dim in daylight

the color display is hard to impossible to read in broad daylight - I think the regular LCD would have been a better choice overall - the color does not really add anything useful except look pretty

Great Deal On Yaesu FTA-850L

Yaesu FTA-850L Nice radio. Very loud and clear. Gps works and is easy to use. Manual could be a bit better, and it has to be read for operational understanding. Gulf Coast avionics gave me a great deal with fast free shipping.

DENNIS V - 03/26/2022

What an awesome radio…!!!

Gulf Coast Avionics has the Best price around for this radio that is packed with nice features including Nav/GPS. Very loud sound makes it great when you are watching traffic at airport parking lots or if you are in the air. I love the way the radio lets you hear yourself when attached to a headset. Easy access to frequencies. I programmed mine using the downloaded CPS from Yaesu. I have all the frequencies for all the airports around my area in SoCal including all VOR’s and the GPS coordinates from SkyVector for all airports makes it a one touch, never get lost, function. I just love everything about this radio. It is solid, robust and the Li-Ion battery has lasted me several flights. I turned this on in conjunction with the Cirrus SR-22’s Radio/Nav to test and/ or calibrate the radio. Everything is spot on. I would say with continuous use, the battery has lasted me over 35hours already and the bonus, it comes with a battery case for alkaline cells that you can use should you run out of battery on your Lithium pack. The best features I would say is that Nav system works flawless. I ordered a high gain antenna from Amazon in the UK and it has changed the game. I can receive ATIS from KMYF from my backyard in Rancho Penasquitos in San Diego. That is a distance of about 15miles with residential building everywhere but I receive it like I am at the airport ramp. SoCal Approach and Departure come over like I am next door to the TRACoN. Transmission is clear, crisp and very very readable. I used as Comms between airplane to airplane flying formation to Catalina Island. I also used it as radio to radio Comms when I fly powered paraglider in the deserts in Glamis Dunes in Ca. I could go about 35-40 miles from base and still able to communicate radio to radio (Yaesu to iCOM ). Overall, in my opinion, this radio is hard to beat for the features, the price and reliability.!!! If you are a Private Pilot or GA pilot, this is an essential item to include in your flight bag. I can guarantee that this radio will more than serve its purpose if you go dark on your panel during an active flight…. Sells everywhere else for $500-$500. Gulf Coast Aviation for $435.00 free shipping and get it in 3days.! The best deal ever!!!

Yaesu still top dog

Most updated and easily programmed via software whereas competing products are not. I had owned same brand but older weaker power model before, so learning curve was a no-brainer. Yaesu has always been high quality.

Love Florida

Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
