This video was so on point and beautifully simple!

So I went ahead and gave this video a like because I feel easy and trusting with the calm, easy-going, almost story-like manner of explaining each item as it comes out of the box.

Now, should I decide to buy this product, I'll surely feel confident and knowledgeable as I take out each item from the box.

Excellent basic video!

It would be awesome to have more videos about this specific model 850L for beginners. (I know the manual has it all... but just saying it would be great to have this content on video)

I just received mine today. Thanks to YOU!
Thank you a bunch!

I have their previous model and was thinking about upgrading. Given the GPS and such capabilities, I wish it could have a build in database of comms that could be updated. Like a nearest function would be super awesome.

A cigarette lighter power adapter? But no USB power? I see it has a USB data port but can you charge over USB? The cigarette lighter adapter is kinda 1990s.

Not sure if you still view your videos or not but was curious about something....

I want to get this radio and use it mainly just for Receiving NO transmitting cause I am not a Pilot just a Ham Radio Operator.
I do know not to transmit on it.
Been looking for a Decent Aircraft Receiver Handheld.
Does this radio come with NAV/COM/VOR & GPS? if so cool.

How is good is the radio for receiving? Does it come with Programming Software?

There is no plug for Australia? So, I am assuming it won't be available in Australia?

[larrylynch]

Can you show how to update the software?

[libertycabbagemusic]

Can any person use this device? If you're not a pilot of an actual aircraft or an ATC, I assume the FCC doesn't want you messing around with this device.

[HiTechRob]

Does it store approaches in the unit or does it simply provide a localizer/glideslope when tuned in to the frequency? IF AN INTEGRATED WAAS GPS RECEIVER, CAN IT FLY RNAV APPROACHES AS WELL?

Hi, i would like to know if it is possible to see the display clearly in case the sun points to it. Does the screen gets like darker? Thank you in advance!

Can the Bluetooth on this pair with two headsets?

[brianjirvin]

what license do you need to communicate with general aviation aircraft that are flying while I am on the ground?

[lifeingeneral]

I can’t believe companies Are still using mini USB that went out with mudflaps. Should all be S by this time.

[stephenyoungblood]

What is cost each 28 days to update approaches?

[johnnydirect]

Removing screws to plug in headset is just stupid. They should fire the guy and anyone who bought off on that idea.
