What is the difference between the hot mike on the 760 and a vox operated mike?
A. A hot mike runs all the time when the intercom is turned on, this means that the background noise will be there as well, in quieter cockpits like the Jabiru it normally is quite acceptable, however, in louder noise environments it can be annoying. A vox operated system is one that only activates when you talk, most aftermarket units do this and we recommend them in noisy cockpits. Our new 760SL series will have a vox operated intercom as standard.
