Gents,
Been having trouble with my radio the last couple years. Everyone complains about it being clear but weak. Went to the radio shop today to get it looked at and it turns out I have an antique. When they got done laughing they showed me some real cool new radios at a cost of about $1800 plus $2400 installation.
I'm thinking I'd rather use that money for something else, like av gas or big landing gear, and don't really like talking to anyone on the radio anyway. But...every once in awhile it comes in handy, so I got to thinking that a few years ago I almost bought an airplane that used a handheld radio wired into an intercom with headsets and the whole works. THAT would be fine for what I need.
Been spending the afternoon looking online and realized I'm a radio idiot cuz I have no idea what I'm looking at. Does anyone out there use this type of system and does it work? If it does, what do you use and where did you get it?
Thanks in advance.
