Peter,



I have had both a Microair radio and transponder installed and working

for four years. The radio works fine although I have added a separate

voice activated intercom. The transponder does not seem to have the

range of some but generally I am happy with it. Service from Microair

has been good. I did have a small problem with the transponder in the

early days but they sent me an exchange unit FOC. 



If I were building again I would also look at the Xcom radio as this has

vox intercom built in. http://www.mcp.com.au/xcom760/



Hope this helps.

A friend of mine is wiring up his beautiful Jodel and is thinking of

installing a MicroAir radio and transponder. Does anyone in our group

have

any experience with this make? Of particular interest is the performance

of

the intercom, since the radio seems to be o.k. in glider installations,

where engine noise and vibrations are of no concern.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, good question Peter



That is i can't find anything you wanted to know or were telling about  

that radio or anything else as a matter of fact. Still i would like to  

hear from somebody owning such a radio or a XCom about their experience.  

Did it need any service and how did that go?



Regards,



Jos Okhuijsen

Hi Peter



It will be a while till I get my Europa flying, but I fitted a Microair

radio in my CT2K and then removed it due to the electrical engine noise

coming through from the Rotax.



At the time I was chosing a replacement I decided to get a transponder as

well and now have the Filser RT (ATR600) & TX (TRT800). Very happy with

them. The Microair intercom was possibly slightly better than the Filser.

Peter, has your friend considered the Icom IC-A200? We bought one for

Our Emeraude, it is very clear with great range(picks up a French

airfield on some days)and about £200 less than the Microair. So

impressed I've just bought one for my Mono. A radio engineer who is

helping me with the wiring is not very complimentary of the Microair.

The Microair built-in intercom is not voice activated (VOX) and the volume setting is via a hole for a small screwdriver in the side of the case, so it can't be adjusted without removing the radio from the panel. It's best to turn the volume right down and use a separate intercom. That way, because it's not a VOX system and always open mic, you will not have to listen to cockpit noise which becomes a pain on long flights.



I have been using the MicroAir radio now for 5 years and would give it about 7/10 for performance. 



As for the transponder, I was recently warned off them by ST Aviation, I believe they have, or have had, some sort of technical problem.

I can also vouch for the clearity and reliability of the icom A200.  

Price is right, too...
