Aviation Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / September 2003

The other week I went to Malaga (a small nearby field actually) and

Does anyone have a technical (I know about electronics but not specifically
about aircraft intercoms) explanation of why headsets from two manufacturers
may not work together on an intercom.
The motor glider I share has two cheap and nasty headsets.  I have a Peltor

I am sure the answer must be NO (although a CFI once told me
otherwise) but say one got cleared from ALKIN to LCY and maintaining
the track (about 330) until outside the Class D... would that break
