Item Description

From The Press
"...better than some panel-mounted gear."
–The Aviation Consumer

"Sporty's SP-400 Shines. Its performance is clearly exceptional."
–The Aviation Consumer

"You can easily pick this unit up and use all of its features without touching the manual."
–The Aviation Consumer

"...it's a solid bargain."
–The Aviation Consumer

“It won’t happen to me” is an attitude you simply can’t afford. If your instrument panel goes dark, you need to know that you can get your airplane on the ground and call for help. Now, for roughly the price of a tank of gas, you can enjoy the peace of mind of a versatile hand-held NAV/COM with full ILS capability. 

Introducing the all-new SP-400 from Sporty’s. It’s like having a complete standby radio stack in your flight bag, and it could save your life in an emergency. It’s also perfect for everyday use: listen to ATIS, get clearances before engine start or just monitor local traffic. 

New features:

  • Full ILS display (localizer plus glideslope)—the only radio with this feature!
  • Oversized, high resolution screen—twice as large as most other radios
  • Large, backlit keypad for easy operation in the cockpit
  • One-touch emergency frequency button
  • Visual memory channel recall
  • NOAA weather radio
  • Sidetone—hear yourself talk when plugged into a headset 

More pilot-friendly features:

  • Reliable COM radio with last frequency button
  • Easiest to use aviation radio—made by pilots for pilots
  • One-handed operation for fast emergency access
  • Outstanding battery life, with 8 AA batteries
  • Quick-change battery pack—change in just 3 seconds!
  • Extremely durable construction will stand up to abuse
  • Dedicated squelch and volume knobs for precise adjustment 

Includes alkaline battery pack, antenna, wrist strap and instruction manual.
Measures 5 1/2”h x 2 1/4”w x 1 5/8”d. 

Why our radios are different: our philosophy 

Sporty’s radios aren’t like other aviation radios. That’s because each one is designed and tested by our staff of pilots, flight instructors and aircraft owners—our radios are for pilots, by pilots. The goal is to have all the features you need, with nothing you don’t. So while the SP-400 is loaded with useful functions, it’s still surprisingly easy to use. There are no menus to navigate or complicated settings. Just type in the frequency you want to use and the SP-400 does the rest automatically. Because an emergency is no time to look for an instruction manual.
