Couldn't disagree more with Jim Franz about needing only one com radio. In
today's airspace, I believe it's folly (and false economics) to go with just
one. Particularly in view of the fact that so many of the good GPS units
(like the King KLX-135) are available with a com radio included. Haven't met
Jim personally but his suggesting that you'd be better off to invest in one
of his AOA systems rather than a second com sounds just a bit ingenuous.

A hand-held is a great last ditch crutch, but if you don't wire them into a
decent antenna system, they don't reach very far. Call it prejudice or what
you will, in my opinion, two com's should be in your plans for you Lancair
panel. THEN carry a hand-held as well. There will come a time when you are
glad you did all of the above!
