I am just about ready to buy an older Taylorcraft that has no electrical
system. I am looking for recommendations on a battery operated radio to use
in the plane. I would really like one that also works as an intercom.

I fly a 1945 Champ. I have flown for the past 25 years with an ICOM A2
or A20 and using an RST-442 portable intercom. I had an external antenna
installed on the wing root fairing and fed the coax into the cabin at
the leading edge of the wing where it covers the top corner of the
windscreen. This space also served as a convenient space to store the
cable when not in use.
