A lot of older GA aircraft always have these physical one piece mikes (about 6-7" long) that you grab and press to talk and have the usual coiled cord connected. I've seen them since my first introduction to GA over 40 years ago, but I NEVER asked, since when I flew with a real pilot, that thing was never used. Just a ptt & a d/c headset. Are those mic's the old way of doing internal comms with passengers?

Ok (I hear you all laughing) Gimme a break here... lol. I had a very short stint in avionics (hangar one) after I got my fcc license in 1978, but not long enough to make it to this point. I've always wondered.

Thanks folks!
