Listers,

Is anyone with the Garmin SL-30 nav-comm using the built-in intercom?

If so, is it acceptable?  Or do you recommend buying a separate intercom?

Is squelch a problem?  Do you have control over squelch?  Is there a means to 

input music?  Is there a muting function?

All advice appreciated.

I have the SL-30 as my only Nav/Comm and I use the built in intercom. 

For me, it is perfectly acceptable.



The ability to monitor two frequencies at once is not affected by use of 

the internal intercom - I use this feature quite a lot.



Squelch is controllable by going through the system menus.  Cumbersome 

to do in flight, however I have never had to go back and change it after 

finding a good setting.



There is no means for Aux inputs, and therefore no muting function.



The radio and intercom volume are the same control, so the pax will be 

just as loud as the radio.  No big deal unless you need to talk while 

there is a lot of radio traffic, in which case you can just flip-flop to 

a clear freq momentarily.



I had built an RST-565 audio panel to allow me to have a handheld as a 

backup COMM, as well as have an input for music.  Unfortunately, I found 

the panel to have unacceptable performance and removed it.  I have since 

purchased a handheld with a headset adaptor, and my Lightspeed headset 

has an aux input for music/cellphone, so I don't miss the audio panel.
