IntelliVox intercom
Thank you all for your replies. Roee, you are quite right, there is considerable scope creep. Maybe I'm looking for reasons to buy something I like but don't really need.
I'll contact Mark from PSE. I know they make quite a few intercoms but I'm not sure if any of them have built in IntelliVox.
Thanks again for all the input.

Dear Cobus, thanks for sending me a private message and I have decided to respond in your thread.
We do not have an intercom only with IntelliVox. Why? Cost of certification for intercom only, would be hard to get an ROI. Sad....I know, but it is the reality of the business we are in.
Why not a non-approved intercom with IntelliVox? Because right now, our engineering resources are all spoken for and I'm concerned that the increase in cost to spread our NRE into the intercom will make it a bit too pricey.
I know you would love our PAR100EX but as already pointed out, this may be a feature creep for you. But I will say it is nice to have a back up radio, even if you do only fly VFR.
Without making any comment about Flightcom, I will tell you that there are a lot of pilots who love our PM3000A (11931A) it is stereo, so you may not need that, so the other choice wouldbe the PM1000II. I would recommend if you go to the PM1000II (11920), this will give you the Crew function as well as individually gated mics.
The standard PM1000II has two VOX circuits, one for the pilot and one for the copilot/passengers. 11922
Call us if you like, we love talking audio for airplanes. We are on our way to Sun 'N Fun
