Trevor< I am embarrassed to say that I found myself with about 20,000
surplus insurance money to play with after my take off incident had
resulted in a technical write off of my plane and Nev Eyre (bless him)
and Ivan Shaw had masterminded an inexpensive means of repairing the
broken bodywork. So I bought a dream panel. based around the G3X Touch
with G5 back up, three axis autopilot, full ADSB etc. The radio is a
Garmin GNC255 nav/com. There were five inputs into the audio panel -
radio, SmartAss, transponder, EFIS and Nav, but space for lots more. The
combined output goes to the headsets. I wouldn't worry about the
reliability aspect - I think the components are mostly simple resistors
that should have a near infinite life expectation. On top of that I see
in the blurb that it says it is possible to arrange to have fail safe
connection to your primary (radio) source.
Best of luck, David
