Whatever you do with the A200 , make sure you use a separate intercom setup
with mic squelch (dont use their integrated one). The reason I say this is
because there is no microphone squelch and you will have cockpit noise piped
into your headsets via the mics all the time.
We use ANR headsets but guess what, no amount of ANR will eliminate what
gets in via the mics and noise cancelling microphones will not cancel out
all of the cockpit noise.
The implication of this is that all incoming transmissions are corrupted by
the cockpit noise entering via the mics. This makes them harder to decipher.
With mic squelch the mic input is silenced enabling clearer incoming
transmissions.
