Peter, has your friend considered the Icom IC-A200? We bought one for
Our Emeraude, it is very clear with great range(picks up a French
airfield on some days)and about 200 less than the Microair. So
impressed I've just bought one for my Mono. A radio engineer who is
helping me with the wiring is not very complimentary of the Microair.

Peter,
I have had both a Microair radio and transponder installed and working
for four years. The radio works fine although I have added a separate
voice activated intercom. The transponder does not seem to have the
range of some but generally I am happy with it. Service from Microair
has been good. I did have a small problem with the transponder in the
early days but they sent me an exchange unit FOC.
If I were building again I would also look at the Xcom radio as this has
vox intercom built in. http://www.mcp.com.au/xcom760/
Hope this helps.

A friend of mine is wiring up his beautiful Jodel and is thinking of
installing a MicroAir radio and transponder. Does anyone in our group
have
any experience with this make? Of particular interest is the performance
of
the intercom, since the radio seems to be o.k. in glider installations,
where engine noise and vibrations are of no concern.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
