General Discussion / Bluetooth Adapters - Experiences/Recommendations
« on: October 06, 2021, 07:14:26 pm »
Hi
Request
I was wondering whether anyone has been using a bluetooth adapter to pipe audio alerts to their headset, if so:
(1) which adapter do you use
(2) what are your experiences
(3) do you recommend the device?
I am aware of two adapters, there may be others:
https://www.ukppg.com/apps/webstore/products/show/1464783 @ £168
https://www.sportys.com/faro-stealth-audio-link.html @ $145 plus shipping & tax
If these questions have already been covered in another thread please send me the link.
Background
Thanking you in advance!

Background
- our aircraft group already has PAW fitted
- our avionics engineer informs us that there are no available ports left to hardwire a connection into our radio system
- group members use a variety of personal devices for navigation, some of which are bluetooth enabled, some of which are not e.g. skydemon+iPAD
- group members use a variety of headsets, some of which are bluetooth enabled, some of which are not
- group members have differing views on audio alerts, some find then useful, some find them distracting, some will want them enroute but will wish to silence in a busy circuit
- we need to cater for these different permutations
- some will wish to pickup bluetooth directly from PAW, others from their tablet/iPAD/iPhone
- volume control will be required as individual pilots will wish to turn up or turn off according to personal preference
- we would like to avoid individuals fiddling around unnecessarily with PAW setup/configuration options
Thanking you in advance!
