I thought I would start this and share what I am doing with My Pitts. I just bought a Flight Line FL-760 transceiver. It is made in Japan. It looks kinda like the Micro Air, Becker and ATR radios. It mounts in a 2 and 1/4 inch instrument hole! It is very light weight. And about as inexpensive as you can find in an aircraft radio. A little over $600. However it is not for certified planes.

I hope to have it installed and try it out in a week of so.

It has provisions for a 2 place intercom, up to 35 preset frequencies, a stuck mic feature that shuts off the transmit after 1, 3 or 5 minutes continuous keyed, and a prioritory channel select button, and inout for a remote advance switch for the preset frequencies.

I just hope it will work well in my noisy Pitts cockpit. I have straight exhaust pipes right below my feet.

More later...
Best wishes,
Wally
