Only the FSG40, FSG50 and FSG60 use the same type connector and are tray
mounted radios..all were excellent radios but alas they are getting older
and parts may become an issue. You will however use the same component parts
and Microphone, Speakers ect are all compatible with newer Walter Dittel
radios so you can leave all of your wiring in the glider and just if you
like snip it off at the radio trailer and make a short pigtail for whatever
new radio you want to install and use a terminal strip or similar connector
to attach your existing wiring to the new pigtail. The only issue you might
run into if installing a different radio brand like a Microair, Xcom or
Flightline radio is that these do not accept the non-amplified Dynamic
microphones that you "might" have now....might have because the Walter
Dittel radio could be set up to use either amplified or non-amplified
microphones, in which case you can still use your existing Microphone but
will need an added amplifier, (I also have these) so you can choose almost
any replacement radio and make the swap with relative low cost and
ease..just add an adapter plate to change the panel from the square opening
to small round opening and splice the harness and you're done
see my website for all radio and installation options

Assuming that I have a installed and working FSG 60M tray in my panel,
what Dittel radios, if any, are a slide-in upgrade replacement?
