I use a GMA240 and by default it does *not* cut out the intercom. There is an option
to do so by grounding one the pins however (I forget which now) but as you
say it doesn't sound like a good idea.

When the radio receives any signal, it cuts out the intercom. I called the
tech dept at GulfCoast Aviation, the supplier, who told me that was normal in
all radios with intercom. He said it was designed that way so you don't miss any
ATC calls.

over your intercom to the other guy to say things like, "We're on fire, Do
you see the traffic, You're airspeed is too low, or Watch out for those birds".

Is the guy from Gulf Coast wrong?

My used Vixen has a three bladed Ivo prop which from all indications is a great
prop. The plane gets off, climbs & cruises well. It does however have a lot
of time on it and shows some noticeable leading edge damage. I'm wondering if
I should stick with this brand prop or consider another such as Sensenich or
Kiev? I'm sure some of you have thoughts.

Clem,
That is the way it is suppose to work. Every radio I owned with that
capability had radio priority over the intercom.

The problem with giving intercom complete priority is that radio calls will be
missed whenever the intercom VOX is tripped by a chatty passenger or even by cockpit
noise. Of course that becomes a problem when you're supposed to be in communication
with ATC. So that's why most intercom systems allow the radio audio
to override the intercom audio. But if your flying hardly requires the radio,
it's certainly a pain to have radio overriding intercom all the time.
Some intercoms have a three-way switch on them to either give the radio priority,
to give intercom priority, or to mix intercom and radio together. Because mine
does, I use intercom priority only when I'm away from the traffic area on
a busy day and not interested in hearing everyone's unicom calls. But I switch
it to mixed-mode when I'm heading towards the pattern. And I only use radio priority
when I'm talking to ATC and I don't want to miss a single beat no matter
what my passenger says. In that case I instruct them to point out traffic to
me with their hand, and I can always switch back to mixed-mode.
If you like the idea of having radio audio mixed with intercom audio, maybe your
radio guy could find a way to do that.

My Cherokee 140 and my Kitfox II work the same way.
