Sporty’s Pilot Shop this week unveiled the handheld L6 COM Radio that features a built-in Lemo jack. This functionality makes it a viable emergency backup for business jet pilots who use the compatible Lemo plugs in their airplanes.

The radio builds on technology from Sporty’s PJ2 Com Radio, which allowed for a standard headset to be directly plugged in, but instead has the six-pin Lemo plug. If an aircraft’s panel loses power during flight, the radio not only allows for a headset to be plugged directly into it but also provides power to the headset.
