King straight out ahead of them. Bunches of dealers dumped Narco products,
or put them on the shelf behind the King products. This in response to Narco
having deprived them of service revenue.
A lot of aircraft owners shied away from Narco because they couldn't get them
worked on locally.
The real message is that the product has obviously been shown to be
unserviceable in the field. Either that or it takes so long to get parts
from Oz that you may as well send the radio back.
Which means that you may as well buy two. Or have a dealer that has
plenty of 'loaner' radios.
It therefore doesn't meet one of the basic litmus tests to qualify it as
worthy of purchase by serious pilots...can it be fixed, quickly and
efficiently, when it breaks. Obviously, the answer is 'no.'
So for all its attractive form-factor, it's a poor choice.

Don,
I have just finisned talking to J.A.Air center and they have informed me that they no longer will sell the Microair 720 comm.
Microair, although a fine radio, has made an unfortunate decision that all radios muist be returned to the main factory (Australia), for any servicing.
Therefore they are not selling them anymore. It will be necessary to send it back just to get a quote. I don't know if anyone knows anything different but it would be nice if there was a way to get service here in the U.SA.
Anyone have a comment on this ?????????
