Please can everyone give their feedback with their Headsets,
commonly used Intercom, recommended intercom and recommended Headsets
Please Let me know of the best cost/product compromise.
I have selected ICOM IC-A24 NAV/COM as my radio. Comments/Experiences?

I have the A24 with a Comtronics helmet and and am happy with the
combination. The Comtronics won't plug directly into the Icom but it's a
straightforward adapter; I wired a homemade one into my plane with a PTT in
the control stick. No intercom; there's nobody to talk to in a single seat
airplane. 
The only issue is that you can't use the A24 with a headset or helmet
unless you remote the antenna; you get a horrible RF feedback squeal when
you try to transmit. Moving the antenna only two feet away (I mounted the
rubber duck antenna that came with the radio under the cockpit floor,
pointing straight down, with a 6' cord and adapter from Radio Shack) solves
the problem. I've heard that only certain David Clark headsets don't have
this problem, but I already had the helmet so moving the antenna was the
simplest thing. With an intercom in the circuit that may not be an issue.
I can hear just fine and everybody in the pattern says they can hear me
just fine. I did need to go to resistor plugs for the engine.

Please can everyone give their feedback with their Headsets,
I use the sigtronics spo22 "N" intercom the "N" is for high noise
environment
My headsets are Telex Echelon anr 150 the mikes on these headsets are
real sensitive, and picked up too much background noise so I called telex
and they gave me instructions to turn down the mike gain now they work quite
well.

Afetr using several different intercoms, I`ve had the best luck with this
same model, the SPO-22N, with any kind of headset, works well.
