I've known Jim for decades. While we might differ in design
philosophies, his products are well thought out and about
as robust as any kit can be. I cannot recall learning of
any customer complaints as to the performance or
value-received for his products.

Built his marker beacon kit, which has performed perfectly for fifteen years
now.

It's been a while, but I built a couple of headsets back when it made
|
economic sense, and a portable intercom. They were well designed & easy
for me to construct (I do have a bit of a history with a soldering
iron). I enjoy electronic kits; you might not. I've still got a set of
the headphones. When I got married, my wife commandeered the RST's over
the choice of much more expensive ones & used them until we upgraded to
active noise canceling ones.
He was supposed to release a new design for an audio panel/intercom but
I don't know if it's available yet. The old one (meaning 15 years ago)
was a bit primitive in dealing with comm operation vs. intercom operation.
These days, some stuff you just can't kit for less than it costs for a
complete manufactured unit. Do your homework.

I am building the RST Engineering audio panel/intercom now. The kit is
well organized and perhaps more important, the documentation is super.

I built one of his combined intercom/marker/audio panel kits about 23
years ago. It worked fine for the 15 years I owned the plane I installed
it in. Probably needed the gain on the marker turned down a bit, other
wise it performed 100% as advertised.

Do you know if his audio panel and the remote marker beacon receiver
can be used in a certified aircraft? I assumed since he built his
first one for his Cessna 170 that it was OK to have a non-TSO'ed
audio panel, but I've been wondering because he doesn't mention
anything either way on the web site.

TSO is not required for Part 91 avionics, other than transponder and ELT.
The kit was returned complete to RST for alignment and FCC
certification, then returned to me. I had avionics shop install it in my
C170B. No problem.
Depending on FSDO, IA and whether they go along with Jim Weir's
pronouncement that the audio panel is a minor modification.

I'd like to emphasize what Ron said. If you read the manuals carefully
|
as you build it, you'll finish with not only an intercom, but knowledge
of exactly how it works. I built one last spring. I had some problems
with incorrect parts, but Jim dealt with them personally. No company is
perfect. It's how they deal with problems that seperate the sheep from
the goats. I don't think you're going to find a better company to work
with than RST. If you place any value on knowing how things work, or
any pride in being able to say, "I built that", I don't think you will
find any better value than RST's kits.

Paul,
I'm particularly interested in the functionality of the 4 place intercom and
the squelch settings. What has been your experience with this aspect?

Well,
Now there's an interesting question. You don't need a
audio panel to use navigational facilities so ...
does an audio panel have to be T.S.O.ed ?

FWIW I have a flighttech intercom that uses a hot mic and electronic
speech noise filter chip. No squelch controls, no background noise of
any kind while talking or when not talking, no missed syllables when you
start to talk and it works fine with mismatched headsets from different
manufacturers. Best darn intercom I've ever used and I'd never be happy
with a VOX unit or a PTT intercom again.

Good company with good products and documentation but be cautious of
purchasing second hand old stuff unless you try it first. For example I
have a tested and calibrated but never installed or used early model (at
least 10 or 12 years old) audio panel here that must be manually
switched between intercom and radio to transmit. That is just too
awkward and the design has been updated I think a couple of times since
then as you'd expect from a good company. Similarly I was never happy
with the audio quality from the mic amplifier in my older headset (8 or
10 years) but I switched to his later transistorized design and am happy
with it now. In fact I also put that amplifier in another manufacturer's
headset to improve it as well!
