need help choosing comms

Talk about airplanes! At last count, there are 39 (and growing) FAA certificated S-LSA (special light sport aircraft). These are factory-built ready to fly airplanes. If you can't afford a factory-built LSA, consider buying an E-LSA kit (experimental LSA - up to 99% complete).

need help choosing comms

Post by griff »

Any suggestions on a good comm system for a 2 person elsa? I've almost decided on the ICOM A6 radio but could use help with a compatible intercom and helmet/headset.

Still trying to get over the sticker-shock :shock:

the sigtronics intercoms work ok but need the volume turned all the way up. I've had a few for a while and no problems in a high noise environment

David clark headsets cost more but seem to survive the abuse better.

PS engineering stuff works well too.

I've not used the new Icom but the older LCD display versions worked great.

Panel mount everything possible to eliminate exposed wires. Use good quality MIL spec jacks and wire. connect shielding as directed.
