Rod1, I'm afraid your post #265 above is an example of what is wrong with this thread. You have quoted me, yet responded to something I haven't said or indeed even implied. You do know what advocate means???
Earlier on, someone recommended as a top tip to forget about talking on the radio. That is what I find worrying; that someone should think they are safer by not communicating on their radio.
SO. I normally fly with two radios, Mode C transponder in Glass G with RIS. Is there anyone out there who would advocate I would be better off not using these facilities? 'Cos it sure as hell read like that to me!
Cheers
