    Default Mgl v6

    Just unpacked box from Aircraftspruce containing MGL's V6 radio: unbelievable I paid that amount for so little apparatus ;-), so light, so small and (in the box) so simple.
    Wiring in my KF is now about 80%: still 80% to go.
    Man - am I curious to the moment that switch will light up my panel...
    Keeping you posted!

    I am planning on getting the V6 so I will be interested to hear what you have to say about it.

    I have the V10. The V6 was not out when I bought. I sure like knobs, though I guess I can get used to pushing buttons. So far it is good. My ground crew during the first flight said I sounded fine.

    I recently installed a V6 in my IV. Seems to work great, I am using Zulu and Halo headsets with it. Have to tweak the settings a little bit to optimize. Nice features, allowed me to ditch my intercom and the weight of the comm radio. As mentioned the thing weighs nothing, the bundle of wires coming from it probably weigh more than the radio box. Have my Dynon D10 and 496 GPS talking to it. The Dynon gives AOA and autopilot alerts and the 496 can download radio frequencies to it direct. Stereo input comes across nicely as well. Has a frequencyt monitoring function as well but haven't really used that yet. Was lucky, routed all those wires and it worked on first try. Still haven't had a chance to see what the transmit range is but for sure is working in the airport pattern environment. Thumbs up so far.

    Working fabulously! Knobs are as ideal as one might expect. Screen is readable in bright sunlight. No separate intercom, KISS & a mighty bunch of facilities all together.

    Went up with a friend today and he said my transmossions were very noisy with what sounded to him like wind noise. It subsided as I thirottled back for downwind and landing.

    How do you guys have your mike settings.
