Works Perfectly

  • By A Customer from Ridgefield WA USA on Tuesday, March 11, 2025
  • Pros: Crisp & clear communications in both types of aircraft
  • Review: This adapter allows one headset to be used in both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. I had an adapter from a different manufacturer, but communications using the adapter were fuzzy. You get what you pay for. David Clark historically has quality products.
