In answer to Bob Belshe's question about how some of us are using their
hand-held, here's mine. Incidentally, I have a ICOM unit about 5-6 years
old.

King makes a neat little splitter (I think it is supplied with their
hand-held unit) that I use. It's inserted into one of your com antenna
feeders via BNC connectors and has a BNC connector for connecting the
hand-held antenna. The thing is only about 3/4 x 3/4 x 11/2 inches and has
mounting provisions on it. It can be mounted so that only the connector you
need to get at is visible and if the need ever arises to use the hand-held,
it's a simple matter of plugging in the short RG58 cable. I also utilize the
provisions to plug in a head set into my hand-held. What with the cockhouse
noise (love it!) in the Lancair two-seater, I think it'd be hard as he-- to
hear the ground without this feature - of course, I can't hear my wife all
that well either, even when she's sitting right next to me in the car and
telling me where to turn, that I'm going too fast, etc. so the head-set
hook-up is up to you.
