I have used the Micro Air and had several problems  with it, I have been using the Becker Radios and Transponders in several  Aircraft we have worked on with no trouble, and they are very easy to mount and  wire, and i have had no problems with any of them.

FWIW,



The Install Manuals and wiring diagrams are available on Becker's website.

Jim, could you say what the Microair problems were?



With the run of complaints I've been getting about the Xcom lately, it looks like the Aussie designs are not up to it.

They have added a requirement to the manual for external power switch and capacitor, this is probably to stop them getting scrambled up from normal voltages and transients on the DC supply.

Also theres been a lot of "receiver dead' complaints that come back as a "no fault fond" and noisy transmissions due to PAX mic being live during transmissions. I understand that these issues will be fixed in software revision. Unfortunately, this is a factory fix.



We can buy dual Xcom or Microairs  for the price of one Becker or Garmin SL40.

So its a bit of a challenge for deciding.

Jim,

 Do yourself a favor and get yourself the Becker if you "need" a  radio that fits a round 2.25" hole, instead of the Australian  brands.

 Or get yourself the  SL40 for a standard install.  Then there is always the much cheaper  Icom-200 too. But always remember, you will get what you pay  for.

Ralph,

  

 I have an ICom in my 701 and I love it. I would highly recommend it.

Thanks Bob, my 701 ZK-ZAR has the same radio in the BendixKing KY97a version and it works well, easy to operate. My question back to Jim was to find out what problems the Microair exhibits, as the homebuilders around here are looking for that type of radio. I met with some of them today whom are pretty much done with waiting for a fix. Its been mentioned that Microair is bringing out a model that incorporates a VOX intercom too, like the Becker. If they are still the same cost then the best installation would be a pair of Microairs - only one would need the intercom, the other could be an older model.
