1)  For Hamid -- Yes, I thought you were joking, and you were, but I have no 
experience with Terra radios so I didn't know if they were your example of 
good radios or bad.  Now I know.

2)  Also for Hamid -- Cost benefit analysis.  Certainly cost is a factor for 
us all.  The guy's point was that as individual owners, we don't necessarily 
do a quantitative trade study when we want t new radio.  We often say "I want 
it" and come up with a flimsy rationalization for why it's the right thing to 
do.  (At least I do.)  Then we try to explain it to the company treasurer 
(the wife).  It was a cute story, anyway.

Thanks for your comments on radio installation.  This is where my expertise 
ends, so I'll be hiring out the manufacture of my comm system wiring harness. 
 I expect them to use the standard installation hardware but at least their 
workmanship will be superior to mine.

Power wiring (lights, landing gear, flaps, etc) I will do myself.
