If anyone has one available please email me direct at dbidault@swri.edu Thanks, Doug Bidault ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:39:17 PM PST US From: W J R HAMILTON Subject: Re: Avionics-List: MicroAir Radios Joe, As the former Technical Director of AOPA Australia, I have considerable knowledge of their reliability, and it is good. MicroAir is also about to release a Mode S version of their transponder. I should also declare that Phil Ainsworth, President of MicroAir, is a very old friend of mine, but I don't think that taints my view. My experience of dealing with member's problems suggest that in reliability, they are second only to the small panel mount COMs, and somewhat better than several well known names, due to the relatively modern engineering and electronic design Cheers, Bill Hamilton At 01:29 AM 22/02/2006, you wrote: >--> Avionics-List message posted by: "D.
