Hi all
Further to the continuing saga of my argument with Microair about the
radio I bought from them. To cut a long story short I bought a new
Microair 760 radio last August, had it installed by a highly qualified
radio tech, and the radio failed the first time we turned it on.
Microair sent me a "replacement" which turned out to be an old repaired
second-hand one so I ended up paying top dollar for an old repaired
radio that they had sitting around on the shelf !!!
But now for the good news. Previously I had an early model Xcom radio
made in 1994 in my Avid but as I had had a few problems with it, when it
finally died I thought I would try the Microair as they both fit in the
same hole in the dash panel.
When the boss of Xcom, Michael Coates, heard about all the problems I
was having he sent me a brand new, latest model Xcom radio ABSOLUTELY
FREE as a gesture of goodwill !!!!!!!!!!!!! I installed it in my plane
before Christmas and have recently flown my Avid the full length of New
Zealand, from the top to the bottom, and the Xcom is working perfectly.
Xcom radios are now made in the USA by Narco and are a vast improvement
on the old Australian made ones and the least I can do is publicly thank
Xcom and tell you all what they have done.

If nobody has older ones to sell, I bet you could get a quote from Kitfox for just
the seats. They still sell IV upholstery (page 49 of catalog).

[quote="Pat Reilly"]Len, You said "ac tach", I think you meant hour meter. Is this
one different from most? I have an hour meter in my plane hooked up to the
ign switch. Isee the one you showed requires 4-40 volts. I imagine most run on
12 volts and somehow this one can handle the high range in voltage and others
need a constant 12 volts. Is this correct?
