Having seen the STS transceiver and 'handson tryout' yesterday at Oshkosh
'85, I am impressed with this radio.  It has good quality feel and operation
as well as an affordable price for a backup radio for the airplane.  The
liquid quartz display is an added feature not found in some of the higher
priced units.  Also the storage of 10 channels makes it a handy unit for use in the air especially in an emergency situation.  


The entire outfit comes in a plastic (molded I think) carrying case that
keeps the batteries seperate from the radio until use [for long storage
intervals] as well as the other acessories.  All in all I think it is a
very well done outfit and intend to buy one in the near future.

They were also taking dealer inquires at the show.  My I.A. was with me and 
filled out the form for dealer info, so we'll findout about that portionlater.
