## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this raido have aircraft head set plug ins for mic and earphones?**
A: The ICOM website indicates that it is compatible with the OPC-2401 headset adapter. With the adapter the radio is compatible with third-party aviation headsets. This product is available through online aviation stores, but does not appear to be on Amazon at the moment (26 Nov 2019).

**Q: Range miles ?**
A: This radio operates in the VHF frequency band. 
The higher in altitude you or the other person is, the longer the range.
If both are on the ground, hills, buildings and other objects can shorten the range considerably.

**Q: Can I pair this with any bluetooth headset? such as a bluetooth integrated motorcycle helmet?**
A: I think so. I pair it with me Sena SMH-10R and it works well.

**Q: Is their a 12 volt dc (car) charger?**
A: There is one available but it is not included.
