Telex 850 on the CRJ-200: issues

[Amish RakeFight]

The only problem I've had with the 850 is that I left it on an airplane, and the guy I saw get on the airplane then claimed not to have seen it.

He since got furloughed, so I guess that's justice.

When something gets ganked, check EBay.

Been flying an 850 for the last several years, no issues at all. Sounds like an issue with the unit, as some others have said.

Peace.

Was he wearing a Mesa uniform and have an I-pod in his hands?

No, this was actually one of our pilots. He's at another regional now, not Mesa oddly enough.

Someone stole your headset? That is fvcked up. No other word for it. Good riddance.

Concur, good riddance for sure. Especially considering the guy lied to my face about it.

Is there a simple fix to this?

Using the tiny adjustment screw beneath the foam mic cover, while flying try turning your mic gain up a little. You'll need something approximating a jeweler's screwdriver which you can get past TSA. This fix solved a similar complaint I had about the 850s.
