Listers,
Is anyone with the Garmin SL-30 nav-comm using the built-in intercom?
If so, is it acceptable? Or do you recommend buying a separate intercom?
Is squelch a problem? Do you have control over squelch? Is there a means to
input music? Is there a muting function?
All advice appreciated.

I have the SL-30 as my only Nav/Comm and I use the built in intercom.
For me, it is perfectly acceptable.

The ability to monitor two frequencies at once is not affected by use of
the internal intercom - I use this feature quite a lot.

Squelch is controllable by going through the system menus. Cumbersome
to do in flight, however I have never had to go back and change it after
finding a good setting.

There is no means for Aux inputs, and therefore no muting function.

The radio and intercom volume are the same control, so the pax will be
just as loud as the radio. No big deal unless you need to talk while
there is a lot of radio traffic, in which case you can just flip-flop to
a clear freq momentarily.

I had built an RST-565 audio panel to allow me to have a handheld as a
backup COMM, as well as have an input for music. Unfortunately, I found
the panel to have unacceptable performance and removed it. I have since
purchased a handheld with a headset adaptor, and my Lightspeed headset
has an aux input for music/cellphone, so I don't miss the audio panel.
