Reviews

Have not used it yet, still installing it, but just powered it up last evening. It looks like a well made radio & appears to have great functionality & ease of use. One frustration is that I could not find the RS232 wiring harness that is recommended. It does not appear on the VAL website that I could find & apparently Aircraft Spruce does not list it either. So I used the connector & pins that came with the radio to assemble/solder the existing wires to the connector.

Val COMM2000 VHF Transceiver

April 6, 2023

My 5 star review is conditioned to the lower end radio category. People by VAl and expect the same performance of a King 97 or higher... They are mostly backup radios in our fleet, with two exceptions. They get the job done whenever the primary ones fail, as described in the example bellow. Twice our Icon A200 (two different units) failed and Icon refused to service those units. They said they are two old and no longer supported). Val just accepted our old 760 in for repair. So guess what? I had to spent over $2,500 to replace the two Icon radios but will spend only the repair and shipping costs to keep my old Val 760.

The only simple flip flop radio on the market. I bought two, along with the Val INS 429 indicator to give me two comms, a VOR, and 3LMB. I then got a used Garmin 400w off eBay. Now, I have a great IFR panel with more redundancy than a 430w could give for less cost. The radio are clear as a bell. The manual squelch is the only way to go. Jim Harr at Val was great to work with.

Radio is basic and simple but does what I need and wanted. I had some glitches that have been taken care of by Val, which has excellent customer support. Good value for the money.

Same issues as the other users. Squealing noise intermittently - looks to be a possible systemic isssue

We had intermittent issues with lowed background squeal and poor transition. Customer service communication ranged from slow to completely unresponsive. In the end, the only solution was to purchase a different receiver. Search “Val COM2000 receive squeal” on YouTube.
