My question is:
What do you think is the best/cheapest--yet still realiable radio and
intercom system to use?? I am just looking for COM no NAV, as I just
use a hand-held GPS I got at K-Mart---works great!! I have looked at
some radios online and boy, what prices for what I consider a
glorified CB radio. There must be something out there, I hope. I
will have an electrical system on this plane--12 volt.



Collins Microline.....available from almost anywhere with prices from
about two hundred bucks on eBay to about 800 overhauled and with the
latest updates from Eastern Avionics. The unit takes about a 3" square
hole in the panel. Superior reliability and I've never had an audio or
power output problem with one yet.

YMMV.....
