Great. Now you can get cut off in the pattern - by people talking on their
cell phones. :-)

Or contact approach/center when your radio fails.

I don't give a good goddamned what field you work in. I've been licensed
FCC for fifty years, FCC First Phone and Radar Endorsement.

LMR and VOX mean nothing in the aviation field.

I ask you again, do you have ANY experience in the avionics world? If not,
just shut up and read the mail.

I work in the Land Mobile Radio field. FCC licensed etc. PTT is required
for the LMR comm's. VOX might work if audio is buffered.

This technology seems to be key to solving one of the great
aggravations in the cockpit -- wire snarl. I've done everything
possible to minimize wiring from our GPS units, and from XM satellite
radio -- but we've STILL got a massive snarl of wiring for our four-
place intercom. To do away with all that, once and for all, would be
awesome.

I love Bluetooth - and went all BT in the cockpit to eliminate the
cable tangles: BT GPS, BT XM Weather, BT Tablet PC.

But there is no way I am going BT headset. I believe communications
is something where the KISS rule applies.

Jay - regarding your headset cable tangles - do you have a panel mount
intercom? Or are you using a portable? I used to have a portable on
the floor next to the flap handle (Cherokee) and always got tangled
entering/exiting the plane. I installed a PS7000, put headset jacks
in the lower corners of the panel, and in the rear - where the
ashtrays used to be. It works great, and I cannot recall tripping on
a cable since. OTOH, I typically do not fly with all 4 seats full as
you and Mary do, so that probably makes a difference.

Jay,

Strangely, the product seems to have generated very little buzz in the
market, and very little notice in the magazines, which is surprising
to me. Perhaps it's because Lopresti is new to the headphone
market?


Perhaps it's because the headset itself is way behind today's standard.

Thanks I will give you same courtesy if I see you on the "Land Mobile
Radio" boards. By the way VOX is Voice Operated Transmit.

This is exactly the set-up we have -- except we've got the PS
Engineering CD/Intercom combo unit.

When I slide across the plane into the pilot seat (danged single
door!) I am eternally catching my foot on the co-pilot's headset
cord. We try to remember to drape it over the yoke, but inevitably
forget. Or it falls down.

I've successfully eliminated every other cord in the cockpit, now that
we've panel-docked the 496 -- but I'd sure love to eliminate those
headset cords.

But it remains to be seen if Lopresti has found the answer.

The truth finally comes out about how those Lightspeed's "really" got
broken!

"Finnish author Hannu Luntiala has unleashed a new twist on the epistolary
form: a novel whose narrative consists entirely of cell phone text
messages. The Last Messages uses 1000 text messages to tell the story of a
Finnish executive who quits his job to travel the world, using his phone to
communicate with friends and relatives at home."
