I have the Skyview system, with an SL40 com installed in my RV-12. I also carry an Icom A24 hand held as back up. I would like to be able to tie it into the com system, thereby utilizing my headphones, mic, and push to talk switch. Not sure if that is even possible without an audio switching panel, or not, but I sure would like to keep this simple. It's nice to have a backup com, also I need the handheld to get the VOR frequencies to pick up AWOS3 info, as airports use the VOR frequencies for these announcements. VOR freqs are not available on com only radios. Also, now that 122.0 access to Flight Watch is gone, it might be good to be able to transmit on 122.1, and listen on the VOR. Besides, trying to use a handheld alone in a noisy airplane is almost impossible Any idea??.......Tom
