2-place Intercom and 4 Headsets

Ron,

I have a 4-place sigtroncs portable that I used a lot. It seemed to work
fine
cascaded into the copilots mic/phone jack.

So I guess you connected your headset to the pilots jack, and copilots and
passengers to the portable?

Nope, I plugged all the headsets into the intercom. The only reason I used
the copilots side is to keep the mess of cords out of my way. I used a
portable PTT connected to PTT in on the intercom.... you may have to investigate
whether this will work on your plane. On some planes I did this with I used
the hand mike in.

I've found that it's much better to have all headsets plugged into the same
intercom system. Otherwise you may find that your passengers can hear you,
but you might not hear them.

I guess if I connect the portable to the pilot's jack and press the planes's
build in PTT you can hear the whole group chatting while transmitting?

Haven't tried it, but to prevent it from happening, I use my own PTT.

Depends on the intercom. I believe that on some if you don't use the PTT
on the intercom itself, only the pilots mic goes thorugh (using their "fail safe" mode).

Kai,

no. You connect the 4-place to the pilot side connectors and switch off
the installed intercom. See www.ps-engineering.com and look for the
manual of their Aerocom III. It's all described in detail, including
use of an installed PTT switch.
