Folks,

   

  Anyone have those small Becker radios in their yak/chang?  Seems I used to hear things like "weak on transmission" , no stby monitoring capability, etc.  

   

  If you have any Becker experience, can you email me off list (I may not get the yak list on the road), considering installing a second comm in this airplane and like the small front end space of the becker, wondering if current set  gets any better reviews...

   

  Thanks,

   

  Drew

Drew,

 Take a look at the relatively new X-COM VHF radio.  http://www.mcp.com.au/xcom760/   Same footprint as the Becker, which is also a fine radio.  But the  X-COM has two major advantages besides the fact that it is $300 less  expensive.  1 - You can monitor the standby frequency, which most people  consider a big benefit.  Especially if you only have one comm radio.   2 - The built-in intercom has VOX key capability which is a real benefit in a  tandem seat airplane where you might have a young person in the back seat that  would have difficulty with a PTT intercom.  Another nice feature is the  remote head which can be installed in the rear cockpit.

  

 We'll be installing the X-COM radios AND remote heads in the  CJ's being overhauled at our Lithuanian overhaul factory.
