Lightspeed does it again

I've had NOTHING but praise for the LightSpeed folks. I had a similar
experience and they sent the part at no charge even though I was fully ready
to pay the piper, 'cause it had been my fault.

Word of mouth is invaluable advertising and they know that! :-)

The Lightspeed 3G series are the only headsets that I've found where you can
plug in a mobile phone.
Anyone aware of any others?

Thanks,

I followed the posts about Lightspeed selling pretty good equipment, and
most importantly, standing behind their products when they have problems.
I
was particularly impressed with Jay Honeck's reports (hi Jay) about his
Oshkosh experience. So, as a treat to myself I recently bought a 30/3G
for
my "new" Cheetah.

Last week, like an idiot, I lost the phone patch cord. I called
Lightspeed
yesterday to get a new one. After explaining the situation, giving my
address, etc, I then offered my card number for payment. Without
hesitation
she says, "Nah, that's OK, we'll just send you a new one..."

Just amazing. What do you do with guys like that.

And, as a side note, the interface works GREAT. In fact, people sound
BETTER using the headphones than without.

Have you ever had a problem with squelch noise when you use two different makes
of headsets.
When my buddy who has a Lightspeed flies with me I get a lot of noise and I
have to ask him to use my other Avcom.

Our Flightcom never had a problem working with our Lightspeeds, working
through a PS Engineering 4-place CD Player/Intercom...

Stu,

Common problem


With intercoms, not headsets.

Hankal,

that problem is caused by the intercom, not the headsets. Headset microphones
vary. A decent intercom should and will take care of that. Mayn people cheap out
on intercoms - and get what they pay for. Jay mentioned the magic words: "PS

I would answer that with both yes and no. I had intercom issues
with my old David Clark Isocom that had a single squelch. I found a Telex
ProCom4 that had independent (adjustable!) squelch thresholds for each of
the four places, and when the squelch opened, it only opened the one that
spoke. While this does take care of differing mic sensitivities (I no
longer have to shout in my mic to open the squelch), it doesn't change the
different noise characteristics of different headsets. From the
lightspeed K/XL series I've used, some have adequate noise cancellation,
and others have pretty bad noise cancellation. I'm talking *mic* noise,
not headset noise. With two of my headsets, conversation is great, but
when one of the Lightspeed pipes in, the engine and wind noise coming
through the mic is irritatingly loud. Yet another reason I'm considering
the lightspeed QFR CrossCountry2.... better mic (tried one out).

I do have the PS Engineering 1000.
Sure would like to have a quiet ride. My avionics shop cannot find anything
wrong with the radios.
