Hi, John -



Yessir - I'm planning to attend MV-2008!  Lookin' forward to seeing all

my Kolb friends again!



At Monument Valley last year, Larry Cottrell was gracious enough to let

me borrow his DRE-6000 for one flight in my Mark-3, so I could compare

them to my current set of LightSPEED-QXC ANR headsets.



I was happy to discover that they were comparable.  The quality of sound

was a bit "different" (difficult to quantify in words), but not really

any better or worse.  



Main thing is, I am happy with my LightSPEEDs, the cockpit environment

is quiet and enjoyable for long flights, and I can hear my radio easily

now.



Dennis K,

New Mexico

Dennis:



Marv Golden has them for 285.00.



I may try and talk you into letting me fly with yours at MV for comparison 

to the DRE6000.



One nice feature of the DRE is the ability to operate the headset from the 

aircraft 12VDC electrical system.  However, cameras need batteries, and I 

carry a battery charger with me for them, so another couple batteries for 

the headset would not be that much of a bother.



Reason I am getting info on an alternative anr that works in a Kolb MKIII is 

when the DRE bites the dust.  I am going to need a replacement and one never 

knows when the headset is going to go belly up.
