The all-in-one radio makes a reliable backup for emergency use, but it's also perfect for listening to ATIS, getting clearances before engine start or just monitoring local traffic.But a great radio is worthless if it's hard to use. That's why our staff of pilots, flight instructors and aircraft owners spent so much time making the SP-400 intuitive and easy to use. It has all the features you need, but none that you don't. There are no confusing menus, no memory bands and no complicated squelch buttons—just turn it on and type in a frequency. After all, an emergency is no time to look for an instruction manual.Includes alkaline battery pack, antenna, wrist strap and instruction manual. Measures 5 1/2"h x 2 1/4"w x 1 5/8"d.

We believe this is the right answer for almost all pilots. While a rechargeable battery is great for a smartphone you use every day, it is less suitable for a backup radio that may languish in a flight bag for weeks at a time. In an emergency, you have to know your radio will turn on, and forgetting to charge your lithium battery is a common mistake. The standard SP-400 battery pack holds 8 AA batteries (two more than most other radios). That sounds minor, but it leads to a big improvement in battery life. We often get over 40 hours of use from an SP-400 battery pack, when most of the time is spent receiving and not transmitting.Of course we offer a rechargeable battery pack for the SP-400 if you so desire. This is a good option for pilots who fly more frequently or for FBO use. Whichever option you choose, we believe you'll get great performance and long battery life from Sporty's radio.Aviation Consumer's "Gear of the Year!""...better than some panel-mounted gear.""Sporty's SP-400 Shines.
