I converted my headset a coupple of years ago, a friend upgraded his
headset with new pieces from Oregon Aero. He and I fly together and I
hear the radio calls and he does not. He asks me all the time who I am
replying to and does not hear what I hear. The conversion was pretty
straight forward, follow directions, solder carefully and it will work
as advertised.


Is this a battery powered unit? If so, what is the battery life? I
have no problem hearing ATC with my conventional headset (built from an
RST kit about 10 years ago), but quieter is always better.

I'm looking at building another one or more. Jim's new kit is different
than my old set. Anyone here built one yet and willing to comment?
