DRE debuts portable intercom

By Janice Wood · January 30, 2011 ·

DRE Communications has released its DRE-205e premium quality portable intercom.

A complete redesign of the DRE model 201, the DRE-205e can be used as a portable intercom or permanently installed in the panel. Accessory inputs allow the unit to be connected to a suite of other devices, including engine monitors, collision avoidance equipment and other instruments with auditory alarms such as stall warnings and altimeter alerts. DRE will provide optional mounting flanges allowing installation into LSAs and ultralights. The 205e can run on ship power or two 9V batteries. There is also an automatic failsafe allowing the pilot to use the radio in the event of a loss of power to the intercom.

The DRE-205e stereo intercom can be configured for 2, 4 or 6-place applications. Passengers and pilots enjoy individual squelch circuits and PTT jacks. There is a stuck mic warning (both visual and audio) and the unit automatically mutes any cockpit entertainment to allow communication with ATC.

The DRE-205e comes with a no-risk, 30-day money back guarantee and is covered by a three-year warranty.
