Default Bluetooth Wireless Headsets

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.


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!

Nope. Strangely enough, it was never the co-pilots position that
broke. Not even once.

I'm glad that episode in LightSpeed's history is over. (Our Twenty 3G
models are absolutely bulletproof.) It's truly amazing they survived
it.

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.
