Awesome new bluetooth toy

Postby RV4ker (RIP) » Tue Oct 06, 2009 10:26 pm

I bought one of these from Phil in Cape Town. Great price and next day shipping (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) .

I was considering Zulu's because of the Bluetooth interface, but now I can use all the headsets in the various aircraft rather than having to shlepp the headset from aerie to aerie....

Works great all way up t Fl095 and great for foning ahead to see if destination is IMC or not :oops: :oops: :oops: :twisted: :twisted: . Clear as a bell. Only down side is I now have 1 less place to "hide" from Mommy :twisted: :twisted: .....

PS
Huge plus is that the price in RONTS is very compeditive...
USA $249 + Say $50 to ship. Once all BS (mandate fee, VAT etc added) = ±R2600. SA price delivered to your door... R2649 + R55 speed services... (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^)

Looks good RV4ker

I can see the picture, but can you please explain more what it is. Is it a bluetooth headset receiver for your cellphone that goes inline with your headset cables? If so, what cable connectors does it use?

Thanks

It looks like a good toy from an emergency point of view as well. ($$)

Barry, I am obtaining a unit from Phil Jacobs and will be making a adaptor for the Lynx / Air Magic system, absolutely no reason it wont be possible. By making the adaptor it will be possible to use a standard Lynx / Air Magic headset in a industrial environment also. This makes my life all of a sudden a whole lot simpler...

Well done Phil.

If you fly alot then this is a must. I ahve had it 2 weeks and have used it plenty. WX updates from Rand when i am still to far to get RX reception. Used it on Animal ferry, but Ceel coverage near Moerlandspan is minimal. There is lots of nothing :oops: :oops: :oops:

While it may be considered a yuppie toy, mine is best gizmo I have bought this year (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^)

PS
Am sure a simple 2 into 1 type adapter will work with the lynx system.

It basically just inline system which hooks mic and speaker to your fone via Blue tooth. Cleared that when i speak on the handset.... yu ou plug headset in 1 end and other end into the intercom.
