The Handheld Radio Auction is now over.
The Dynon DX15 is a limited edition aviation band handheld transceiver. We created it as part of our plans to eventually supplement the SkyView Glass Panel System with a panel mounted radio. We used it as a way to learn about radio design, FCC Part 87 certification, and radio production. Similar handheld radios typically sell for about $250.
