I need a radio (small footprint) for my mono. I want a built in vox intercom and a 2nd frequency monitor facility would also be good. I have been considering the XCOM760 (which is unfortunately not authorised for use in UK) the microair760, the Funkwerk ATR500 and the Becker4201 - this latter being at the top of my price range.
User reports and/or recommendations for these and others will be gratefully received.

Hi Mike,
The Becker 4201 is an excellent radio but it does not have 2nd frequency monitor and the built in intercom requires manual operation.

Mike, I am not sure how small is 'small' or just how far the budget extends,
but the Garmin SL30 is a brilliant radio with built in intercom, second
channel monitoring (which is a great feature if you plan to fly with a
group) and also twin VOR or glide slope/localiser channel. The whole thing
is about the same size and weight as an Icom.

Have a look at the MGL VH10 radio, very compact with built in intercom. If you go to the VAN's (sacrilege!!!) forum you can see the commendations the radio is getting from US users for a South African radio and that is a feat in itself.
I have purchased one, not flying yet, based on fellow colleagues recommendations. Not up to speed with UK certification but check with local UK distributor (see MGL website for that info).

I voted for the SL-30 myself, and after 5 years am still convinced
it was the best choice. Modern digital design, standby channel as you ask for,
big memory area for your favorite freqs, auto Morse identifier translation,
support by Garmin, etc.

Mike,
The Garmin SL30 is fairly small as radios go. I second David Joyce’s comments in ‘spades’. The SL30 radio is brilliant in all respects.
Regards,
Mike
