One of the requirements of my flight authorization is that UAS PIC may be required to maintain direct two-way radio communication with ATC, and if required must comply.
Currently I do not own a hand-held unit. Researching hand held units online I have noticed the biggest complaint is that unless the operator is in close proximity to the ATC tower communication is limited.
The majority of the areas I have authorization for are 3+ miles from the ATC tower, with wooded and hilly terrain between myself and the tower.
@R.Perry said he uses a I com A-14 radio. Just wondering what others use and how well the reception/transmission is at a distance from the ATC tower.
As always thanks in advance for your reply
