[AT] Noise Concerns

[Gene Dotson]

    Ralph, in the early 70's I put one on my 700. Had the same problem 
hearing. This my start and love affair with head phones. Spent many night 
time hours listening to that old AM radio. Not too loud and cancelled out 
most of the tractor noise. This also carried over to my flying as they are 
noisy too. Also better able to hear controller transmissions. ADF direction 
finder also worked in the AM band and could listen to commercial broadcasts 
on long cross country flights.

Reminds me of the fender mounted tractor radios that John Deere sold in
the sixties and seventies
before cabs were popular. To overcome the tractor noise you would need
to turn that radio up so
loud that it was probably doing more hearing damage than the tractor
exhaust itself. And yes,
people off in the distance could probably hear the radio as well or
better than the operator of
the tractor.  I never had one myself.
