Overview
A very inexpensive, small and lightweight VHF aviation transceiver. It
is not a TSO'd unit. It fits into a small 57mm (2 1/4") instrument
hole.
Customer Feedback
I have heard back from several customers about this radio. Their
feedback was very positive.
Pros
- Inexpensive
- Small size
- Lightweight
- Simple
- Music input jack (mono)
- Dual Frequency Display (Easy to enter
new frequency in the standby line and the use the flip/flop button to
swap the active and standby frequencies.)
- 32 Memory Channels
- PRI button - One button press to access
a primary (user programmable) frequency such as 121.5 or your home
airport.
Cons
- Non-TSO
- I think that means that it can be used in experimental aircraft, but
not certificated aircraft.
- The minimum
input voltage of 11 VDC makes it questionable for use with a 12V glider
battery. However, 12V batteries normally charge to 13
or 14 V - so it may be OK. A 14V battery is probably necessary
(but I really don't like 14V systems because the 2V batteries don't last
and it is difficult to find a good 14V charger. The specifications
state that the minimum voltage is 11.7 volts. I told my dealer
that 11.7 volts was a big problem for use with a glider battery and he
said that the manufacturer said that it would operate down to 11 VDC.
- High standby current of 300 mA (compared
with 50 mA for a Dittel FSG 2T)
- Does not work with dynamic microphones
as supplied by Dittel, Filser, Becker, Peiker, etc. But it should
work well with the XCOM boom microphone
which uses an amplified electret microphone.

Wiring-Harness-1-Seat-Glider |
Wiring Harness for
Flightline FL-760 radio, Single Seat Glider
Larry Goddard makes all the terrific PDA and GPS cables that I sell.
He also does a fantastic job making radio wiring harnesses.
I send
him your speaker, XCOM Boom Microphone and an EAO Push-to-talk
button (the cost of those items are not included in the price of the
wiring harness) and he creates a "plug-and-play" wiring harness.
Wires are provided for connecting power to the radio and for connecting
to your microphone, push-to-talk button and speaker. The
microphone, push-to-talk button and speaker are not connected to the
wiring harness because those wires need to be routed through your glider
before they can be connected to the harness. Small connectors are
used for those connections and we provide the mating connector for
attaching to the wires from the microphone, PTT and speaker. There
is a 3 week lead-time for assembling the wiring harness. |
