"Jim Weir" wrote in message ... No doubt about it...even though it is one of ... sniff ... THOSE intercoms {;-) Oh well. I managed to pick up my SPO for $25. The only RST intercom I ever got to use was assembled by a guy who barely knew which end of the iron to hold on to. (His piloting skills weren't much better by the way), so I'll not judge yours by that instance. No, Ron, interfacing it through an intercom or audio panel removes a lot of the folderol with interfacing it directly to the headset. However, you STILL need to know the mic voltage and impedance levels (three different kinds in popular use) for your parTICular ham rig. Yeah, but it's within the realm of tweaking. I can say that I could drive my FT470 directly from the "to the aircraft radio" side of my SPO. Of course, the other quick and dirty is to just use ICOM as their aviation and amateur gear share the same accessories and they've already built a aviation headset converter box. |
