Title: cockpit Intercom
Post by: jackpilot on February 08, 2011, 08:35:37 AM
I know that Dean at Ruscool offers a nice unit.
Any other options?
I would like to be able to have intercom 2 positions (for the odd visitor)  and side tone, which is a nice feature when you answer ATC (while keying in the right number) lol
A real intercom on Ebay goes for an average of $100 but maybe some electronic wizard among us can do better!

If you use Jack's (hehe) you can paralell plug it and hook of the "Listen to this device". You will then have "full duplex" intercom.

OK. I'm on a win7 PC now, but you'll find the same options under XP.

Go to ControlPanel/Hardware and Sound. Click Manage audio devices. You'll get a new window with your connected devices.
Go to the second tab (Recording) and dubble click your mic, and you get a new window for mic settings.  Under the "Listen" tab, hook off "Listen to this device".

:D
