First off, I did my first solo on Easter Sunday! Was going to make a big dedicated post about it but figured there are only about a hundred-thousand or so first solo threads on the internet so I gave you guys a break
Anyway, I find myself having trouble hearing radio transmissions sometimes. I, just like many of you, fly in old, worn equipment as do many of the other people in my airspace. I currently have a set of David Clark 13.4's with maybe 10 hours on them. I have heard that Oregon Aero makes a nice "mechanical" upgrade kit for this set...meaning cushions and microphone tips and such. What about actual electronic ANR? I have heard more horror stories about aftermarket ANR than I have heard good stories. Any advice? Thanks for your time as always guys (and gals).
