To all the listers who commented on the gascolator issue, many thanks
for the insights. I will definitely install one plus make sure I use the
squeeze primer method to clean the bottom of the tanks periodically.
Thanks,
Tom Sabean

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Timandjan@aol.com
I have a Telex headset that I bought several years back which looks bad but
seems to work the best. When I use this one in my system ( PTT switch on my
Icom handheld radio) it works great in the kolb. I can also hear myself in
the headset when I transmit. When I use my brand new Sigtronics headset I
can;t hear myself in the headest when I trensmit. I have a third Pilot
headset that I also can't hear my voice. I believe all three mics work
because I have tested them by using them in my portable intercom system. Any
body have any ideas why the 2 don't seem to work? Should'ne I be able to
hear my own voice in each headset as I transmit?
My set up is a Icom handheld with a standard PTT that I cut off the switch
and added a small switch to the end of the stick. Works awsom with my Telex
so I know it works fine.
Thanks
Tim

Glad to hear you got good results with the old Telex....just wondered
how old is old? I have two of the DBM 1010 which always worked
fine for me. I used them with an Oregon Avionics intercom which I
guess is no longer in business. The trick was to get the background
set just right for cut/out. Very comfortable to wear and quiet.-BB

Try increasing the sidetone volume on the radio. Hold "Talk" and push the "up"
arrow on the radio (check your manual). The sidetone volume may be too low for
the new headsets. I know that my sidetone needs adjusting when I take the
radio from my Kolb "Lightspeed QFR Cross Country" headset to my Comtronics
standard headset on my Powered Parachute.
Hope this helps.

Ken/Gang:
Do you know if that will work on an ICOM A3?
Also, does anyone know how to increas volume above
and beyond what it is capable of with the volume
knob?
The older I get the deafer I get, or the deafer I
get the older I get. Anyhow, I have difficulty at
times hearing radio traffic. Usually, towers and
most aircraft are loud enough, but sometimes
individual radios do not put out enough volume for
me to understand what they are saying.

Kolbers,
Does anybody have an Icom A5 radio for sale? I need a second radio
and like the A5. Thought I'd check the list before I go retail.
Contact me off-list ken-foi@attbi.com
I pay American Money...

I have to check the model (at airport) but this is a funny story, several
years ago, found a guy on the internet that bought a bunch of headsets from a
fire department, bought one off of him for like $10.00. When I got it, it was
the Telex headset. When I researched the unit, it was a model that is still
sold by Telex , mine just looks more beat up. Cleaned it up, painted the
pieces, looks great and it works great.
