carlwarren Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi All ... I'm thinking about using my radio more, currently i have a YAESU FT-270 it was brought as a gift from a mate who owed me a favour. The head set i tried using was Gold Star headset Peltor Optime 1, however after using it one I've never used it since. It was shite!! I am assuming it was the headset that was failing, so after looking on tinternet that MicroAvionics MP001 - Stereo Paramotor Headset With Side Tone might be the radio for me. I like the fact you can connect phone/Ipod. Some one did tell me 2strokes can effect your radio, is this correct ? Does anyone else fly wit the configuration i am intending on using ? I have not got a clue about radios so please keep things simple for me. Cheers Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartasutherland Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I use the microavionics headset. It is the business for listening to music on your phone / ipod. I had a bluetooth adapter so I could make phone calls too but realised I didn't relly need to do that much and itwas another thing to charge. I use a radio and it works fine, for a conversation it is best to come off the throttle I fine as it is quieter and less interference. \ Dont mess with the cheap ones, just get the best - I wish I had done it first.

Hi stu. Can I pick your brains. The telephone lead Mp003 links up to what phone ? Surely this will play iTunes through the phone Mp003 lead ? Or not ? Cheers.

stuartasutherland Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Carl, I think the MP003 just has a normal headphone pin on the end - mine just plugs into the end of the phone (where the headphones go) so will suit any phone / MP3 player really. It doesn't work to make calls though (iPhone). The Microavionics guys are very helpful - just give them a call and they will talk you through everything. Stu I use the microavionics headset.
