 Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 3:59 am Post subject: Icom 210 radio intercom switch |
 |
|
Hi
I am wiring up my Icom 210 for my little 2 seater plane and plan to use the radios own internal intercom.
In the wiring diagram there is a intercom switch, but for the life of me I cannot find what this is used for and if I need to wire it in or not? I though it was all built inwith this radio?
Any Ideas out there?
Chris

I've looked over the operations manual for the A210 and
there IS an intercom built in. However, it can be switched
off and on from front panel controls. It's not clear to me
in my quick trip through the manual what the external
switch is for. My best guess is that it might be a way
that a "back seater" can turn the intercom off and on.
I'd bring a wire out from pin 10 on the radio that's
long enough to gain access to the end AFTER installation.
Tie it up in the wire bundle and hopefully forget it.
If at some time the future it is discovered to be
useful, the task of integrating its function into
your project will be greatly eased.
Perhaps other A210 users on the List can offer more
detailed guidance.

Bob and Chris: I too am trying to use the A 210. I am using a flightcom intercom seperate from the one built in. I understand that the built in one hasto use a push to talk button. And it is not voice activated.
BTW Bob where can I obtain the book you have out. I have been trying to fined out. Thanks: Gordon

Funny you should offer this assertion. Here's a clip from
the Icom A-210 Manual at
http://aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Radios/Icom_A210/IC-A210_User%27s_Manual.pdf
From page 20
[img]cid:7.1.0.9.0.20100829223457.0202e848(at)aeroelectric.com.0[/img]

They use the words "voice activated" but the switching
is suspicious. Provisions for an external intercom PTT
suggests that it's not really voice activated but in fact
a "hot mic" system that is turned ON by either the
front panel control as described above or ON/OFF by
external PTT switches wired to pin 10. I'd bet that
the built-in feature is indeed a PTT intercom.

Bob,I have one of these units. It works as voice activated to my satisfaction. It my have some components that I do not understand, but voice opens the squelch and squelch closes when silent. Many menus to filter through, but once set it is a fine unit.

THANK YOU! There's no data better than hands-on
data. That's what I would have hoped for. I've got
some REALLY warm spots in my heart for Icom products
that were established back in the days when I was
putting repeaters on 1200 foot towers!
Do you use the external intercom ptt switch?

No I do not. When the PPT is keyed, BOTH mics are hot. I just tell my passengers to be quiet when I transmit. While flying alone I cancel the intercom all together. Just pushing and holding one button on the face of the unit will cancel the intercom function. Repeat and it is back on.
