Many thanks Jim and I am most grateful for the information and advice.

Many thanks for the suggestion Clive and I'm veering towards buying a Yaesu at present. Jim, has your Yaesu radio met your expectations? Do you use just the internal batteries or a separate 12v supply? (I'm assuming a 12 volt supply is OK. I read somewhere that this may need an adapter to drop the v...

Many thanks Clive and Jim.

I originally assumed that I wouldn't be eligible ( hence my delay in applying ), but then I have lost the choice of buying a used old radio and will have to go for a new one, so am hoping that Jim is right and that I'll qualify as suggested.

I'll give it a try!

I'd like to buy a new 8.33 handheld radio for my project, which is progressing now, in the hope I may qualify for the CAA/EU(!) discount, if there is any money left in the kitty. I don't yet have a registration for the aircraft and assume I must, therefore, apply for a £15 Radio Licence for a handhe...

Many thanks to all involved!

Keep up the good work Brian!

Has anyone experience of making up the required aluminium frame for a "custom" shaped filter of this type? There is a welder local to me who could deal with that aspect. The hot air box I'm using is of the type that would fit an Aeronca Chief/A-65 (not the application in my case) and there isn't a s...

Many thanks Harry and I'll follow this up. Looks ideal.

Ian

Many thanks John and that will be extremely helpful.

I'll report back on my progress.

Ian

Wrote to Headset Services and they replied very promptly. Unfortunately - and not surprisingly perhaps - they are no longer able to assist with this type of work.

I'll keep looking & hope there will be a solution ( a helpful boffin ? ) out there somewhere!

Regards.
