Close. IC-A5 aircraft transceiver. Built in, powered by the aircraft
electrical
system, hooked to the standard PTT switch. Replaced a defunct Narco, weighs
less than a pound. Hooked to an antenna made from Radio Shack and plumbing
parts.

I thought your electrical system consisted of a gel cell battery for the radio
and lights, charged on the ground by a 110V
battery charger. No?

I might have you confused with someone else. It does not happen very often. Me
getting confused, that is. At least I don't think it does. :-)

Add this to one of the times, then. :-) I've got a "normal" electrical system
in Moonraker, though given my preference, I would have preferred just a battery.
Too damn much weight in the generator, battery, and starter, though I did switch
to an Odyssey dry cell a couple of years back.
