Nav / com radio recommendations

[Jackpilot]

there is also the units from elite which are very nice. don't know much about them though.

As far as I know Elite works only with the Elite software.

Thanks guys

lots of choices here, I am on a budget so the goflight and opencockpit seem to be good deals.
I saw a new site called VR Reality insight that do an Instrument RadioStack Panel which looks pretty cool, although the price is $659.387 New Zealand dollars http://http://www.vrinsight.com/ but I guess Its not a bad price considering what it does.

If you have the original 727 radio heads you can get them alive (digital display of course)
with a GF remote kit. Did 2 NAV 1COM 1 ADF 1TRX (still missing knobs and display covers)
The NAV can switch from NAV1 to NAV2 and same for COM

Mine are all Gables analog heads. I don't have the patients to try and convert them.

Thanks carlos

Looked at the cpflight hardwares but they require the main MCP737 to work.

You can use their 'blackbox' instead of the mcp.

the blackbox costs only 95 euros.

Hi all

As part of my cockpit build I would like to add a Nav / Com Radio to my instrument panel and wondering if anyone has any recommendations and what usb radio panels are available.

Cheers

Of course if you really want value for money and already run the Opencockpits interface, a Boeing COMM radio in kit form will set you back just 84 Euro ($106USD). Some assembly required of course (in fact complete assembly required!) plus software configuring, but if your handy it's well worth it.
