Dear All,
Please can everyone give their feedback with their Headsets,
commonly used Intercom, recommended intercom and recommended Headsets
Please Let me know of the best cost/product compromise.

I have an A24 handheld that I use as a handheld currently (not in the plane). Has nice big letters on the display that make it easy to see the current frequency. It also has a queue-like thing that stores the last 10 entered frequencies and you can rotate through them with the buttons.
The external power jack is a smaller one than the one used on the A22 and others, so you'd have to rig something up for external power or get Icom's cigarette lighter adaptor (which would surely be $$$).
It should work ok in a plane, tho turning it on requires pressing/holding the power button for 3 secs. Stupid, IMO. This may have to be done each time instead of simply coming on when power is applied (I havent' tried this with mine yet).
As for headsets, I use the Telex stratus 50 digital. Expensive, but still way way cheaper than a bunch of hearing loss. It has a digital sampling type active NR, which is VERY effective and over a pretty broad range of frequencies. It's easily the quietest headset I've ever tried.
