I have an A-24 and an A-14. I like them both. I use the A-14 more because it is very small and simple to use. I velcro it to the inside of the fuselage. (FYI, JoAnn Fabrics has a great supply of Velcro in sheets and rolls. I also Velcro my iPhone to the instrument panel for navigation and when necessary, attach an intercom next to the radio.) However the A-24 came with the headset adapter and when I bought my A-14 it did not. When I purchased another of those the price was approaching what I paid for the A-24. -john-John HofmannVice-President, Information TechnologyThe Rees Group, Inc.2424 American LaneMadison, WI 53704Phone: 608.443.2468 ext 150Fax: 608.443.2474Email: jhofmann(at)reesgroupinc.comOn Mar 28, 2012, at 3:32 PM, Andrew Eldredge wrote:> Are your p-leads shielded?
