I bought an ICOM A-5 (more as a 'call-clearance-delivery-with-the
Master-Off' device than an in-flight backup), but did get the headset
adapter. Just like the Avionics West review stated, there was feedback
when transmitting with the DC 13.4 headset. I was able to minimize it
by putting a split bead ferrite on the adapter cord, but it still
occasionally does it, depending on the orientation of the cable to the
antenna. I wouldn't want to depend on it in an emergency.

I bought an A5 at OSH and noticed when using a DC headset big time feedback.
This does not happen with either a Telex ANR or Peltor headset.


I've got the same problem! What's a split bead ferrite? I'd like to
try it.
