Are you Gents happy with the intercom on the Icom A-210?
I gather the squelch is OK if set or may be not good for loud cockpit?
Good bad ugly, would you do it again or would you add a dedicated intercom?
Thanks George.

The intercom function on my unit has been fine. Once I got the squelch set. The directions were not very clear. Or I did not read them correctly. I think the translation leaves something to be desired.I am having a problem with reception. It is intermittent. Sent it back once, and now have to send it back again. I loose reception, and it is hard to tell. After a while of silence, I realize that it is quiet. Change frequencies to AWOS or such, and get part of a reception, then out. Cycle the switch Off-On and then receive the broadcast.
The support has been good, but the radio is getting more flight time than the plane. They seem hesitant to replace it with a new one. Hope I don't have to get serious with them.

Kevin - have you ruled out the antenna & connections by trying another one? Like you, I also tried building the Mike Dwyer, but could never get the VSWR dialed in properly. I finally bought a Bob Archer.

I have tried another one, but not to test this problem. I did send Mike Dwyer my VSWR numbers and he said they were on the money. I built his antenna, and used new high $ coax and ends from SteinAir.
I have also talked to others on 122.75 at a distance of over 150 miles. It was not loud, but clear. I think there is an internal problem with this unit. I will let you know when it comes back from Icom. I am sending it in today.
