All our IC-41PRO radios are programmed with Private SAFA's private UHF frequencies. All our radios come with default ICOM IC-41PRO factory programming so you can always ask others with the same radio for help. We have added some smarts to it to make your life and the lives of your fellow pilots easier. No annoying beeping and no locked-in channels All radios are programmed with our Paragliding Friendly Custom Programming on top of ICOM's default settings. You can activate preprogrammed SAFA private UHF channels on all Fly2Base ICOM radios. The radio will return to the channel selected prior to turning the radio off, the same as the older models. The default setting on new radios always starts on channel 1. So you don't have to change back to your local channel every time you turn the radio on and off TOT (Time-Out Timer) is set to 30sec ATS/Smart Ring is set to Off (ATS Automatic Transporter System) TOT Beep is set to Off (Turning off the annoying pocket beep) Pocket Beep is set to Off If you are after clear communication when flying, we have you covered.
