Default recording from intercom system

I fed the intercom and radio into my Sony camcorder by using a regular
patch cable with mini stereo jacks on either end. On the airplane end
you get an adapter for the regular stereo jack. No attenuation needed
and it sounded great on the tape.


That's interesting to know - I found I had to put a 470K ohm resistor
inline to stop it from horribly distorting on the recording on my Sony
camcorder (it's possible that more recent camcorders figure out how much
to attenuate the signal themselves).
