I'm considering using the DC COMM500 with an SL30, an ICOM A200. and an RST marker beacon receiver. I will NOT have an audio panel. I downloaded the installation manual. It looks to me like it will work fine. I may have to run the audio from the nav side of the SL30 through one of the "ext in" inputs, but that seems OK. Do any of you have experience with the DC COMM500 in a similar setup? Would you recommend this combination? Regards, Troy Scott Glasair Super IISRG.

BTW, has anyone figured out how to incorporate the "soft mute" feature to stop the music for ATC and then slowly ramp the volume back up to where it was?

Today I discovered that the last one in the box is a NAV antenna. It was supposed to be a COM antenna. I don't remember what the lengths of the elements are supposed to be on the two types. I'm thinking if the COM needs shorter elements I can just convert the antenna by shortening the elements and adjusting the length of the cable. Otherwise I'll just sell this unused/unopened Stoddard-Hamilton antenna kit and buy another one. Regards, Troy
