List,
I have an opportunity to purchase a used Microair 760 radio for a good
price. I current use an ICOM handheld as my primary COM radio attached
to an external antenna. I works well, gives a good signal and is easy
to change frequencies. The down side is the display is small, difficult
to read esp. in sunlight. I thought a panel mount compact unit might be
ideal. Does anyone have experience with the Microair? Would you buy it
again? Any problems other than some compaints I've read of ignition
noise? Anything to look out for.? I must make a desion by tomorrow
afternoon. Thanks
Jerry

Microair 760 is a great radio but the XCOM is better and has an internal intercom for about the same price.

Hi Jerry
I bought a 760 plus integrated intercom back in 1999 when I started the
panel construction and ran it to listen to local traffic on occasion.
Approx. 15 months later it became inoperative (not yet in service, but just
outside warranty). It cost significant dollars to fix. Since then it has
failed again and I resolved to buy a seperate intercom from sigtronics
because the second failure was the Microair intercom. Not impressed !
My first Microair transducer had to be replaced and that is now up to Ver 7.
firmware.
All this with TSO'd gear.... and my bird has yet to leave the nest.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Jerry
My previous response said "Microair Transducer" when it should be "Microair
Transponder"....
cheers
