Hi Dave,

I am no expert but I believe the larger aircraft sets used the intercom
amp as a mike amp. I vaguely remember seeing a dry battery powered amp
used in some diagrams.

The VMARS Manuals web site may have a lot of information of use with the
British sets.

Also, if you like, I can pose your question to the VMARS Yahoo Group.

Best.
