I finally got my 2006 Sports Cub and would like thoughts on the best Intercom setup. I have a Garmin SL40 with a push button on the panel which activates the intercom. As you can guess this is not the best setup for a checkout - instructor shouts what's your airspeed on short finals and I use my 3rd hand to press the switch ;-)
I checked out the install manual and the switch just pulls a pin to ground which activates the intercom. So a quick fix would be change the switch to a toggle so the intercom would be on during training - what does everyone think ?
For a a long term change do i need to install a separate intercom ? - after googling SL40 lots of feedback suggests the intercom is not the best. Or the new Garmin GTR-200 radio and take the chance the built in intercom is better.

PS or do nothing and not be disturbed by the passengers or wind noise opening the squelch ;-)
