I can talk and hear with my Dave Clarks at middle Rpm's but above 5000 it is almost senseless to try and communicate. There are several options on the market but its like picking a Medicare prescription plan.

Last week I took the FSII for a flight and was amazed at how much quieter it was. Very impressive. Later, I was on the ground listening when he went to the Big airport, talking to ATC, he sounded good and he could hear ok, and they had no trouble hearing him.

My set up works well, however, there is always the drone of the engine coming through the earphones.

I have this set for 6 years in helicopters and planes. I really like my headset. The model is the PA 17-79T DNC XL. The price is about $450. Also check this link: www.planeandpilotmag.com/content/buyersguide/headset2000.html Hope this helps, ANR is the only way to go.

Also check this link: | www.planeandpilotmag.com/content/buyersguide/headset2000.html | | Roger Lee Hi Roger L/Lanny F/Gang: I checked out the referenced web page but did not see the headset I bought last May, the DRE Communications 6000enr Headset http://www.avionicswest.com/articles/DRE6000enr.html#6000 I have done one flight out West, up and down the West Coast, and back to Alabama with it. Costs $279.00 and worth every penny. In addition, this set comes with a small control box that uses 2 ea 9V bats, although it operates on only one quite well. However, it will operate more than twice as long on two batteries. Another great feature is the power adapter to allow the set to operate directly off the aircraft 12VDC system. I never use the 9V bats although they are installed. Highly recommend the DRE 6000. john h MKIII Titus, AL ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 07:07:43 PM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: ANR From: Herb Gayheart --> Kolb-List message posted by: Herb Gayheart Think this is the ANR kit that I have seen ? 159 bucks for the kit.

Some of the other Kolb'ers might also find them interesting as well. Just click on the links. www.xs11.com/stories/croil96.htm www.nordigroup.us/oil.htm#oil%20change%20intervals No serious point here, but some good information and something to help with facts and myths about oils.
