Good to have a civilised exchange of views I think. And healthy.

There are other factors which need to be looked at for example how are the staff using the new headsets, is the mic close enough to the mouth etc.
That would not explain why the 'tinny' sound was experienced from both ends.

Yes there are many factors - however I think that from an ATCO perspective the confidence in the kit is high and getting better everyday; thanks to the sterling work by those in the background.

However, no matter how persuasive an argument anyone can come up with, I stand by the following, which I wrote in my last post

The fact of the matter is that it is suitable to carry out the task as required, but since when has 'good enough' been good enough?
Which was made in answer to your post

do you really think that NATS would use a voice comms system which didn't support the task?
I know that work is continuing on the system, and I am sure that in the long term it will be what we want it to be. As it is now, I still think that overall, it is a hell of an improvement (especially the functionality) on what we used to have
