Wow! That's a rare find these days. I have a 600A and I really like it; very easy to program and assignable switches really make the deal. I recommend picking this one up.

do you know if it has manual trims?

Flyfalcons

Yes, manual trims. No trim memory, but it does have digital sub trims so you can trim the plane to fly with the trim levers centered.

can you use a buddie cord with this radio?

Flyfalcons

Yes, the radio has a buudy cord socket. I haven't kept up to date with the latest Airtronics developments, so I really don't want to say whether or not it is compatible with other Airtronics radios. In addition, I don't think it is compatible with the latest Airtronics PCM receviers, though it should work with any positive shift PPM receiver. The best thing to do is get in contact with Airtronics USA either via their website or by calling them for compatibility and other issues. I do know that they still fully support this radio, as I sent mine in for repair last Fall and had it promptly fixed for a very reasonable rate. They even had a new LCD cover for me.
