Have you created anything "home-made" for your plane? (or a low cost alternative?)

The skunk works here is toying with a microphone-less headset based on the principle that your voice box is inherently interconnected with your eardrum. Sort of a God-designed sidetone, if you will. Earphone in one earcup, microphone in the other earcup. Nothing sticking out front, and no fiddling with that "magic spot" that isn't too weak or overmodulated. ITSM this was invented by Lear Seigler {sp} in the 70's. The pluses were it didn't interfere with an O2/Smoke mask such as a HasMat/fire fighter has on. It also found favor with SWAT-team types because you could silenty communicate by sub-vocal grunts, etc... I saw an amateur radio version a few years later; a friend used it and got many strange looks re "talking to himself" in that pre-cellphone era. No idea how well it will work in a high-noise enviroment... -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 |
