Field notes
TowerOwl uses the aviation headset’s standard Bluetooth call channel rather than a proprietary connection, provided the headset is configured for recording. The page specifies a Lightspeed Zulu 4 switch setting, AAC storage of roughly 14 MB per hour, screen-off recording, and automatic markers for drop-outs and phone calls. Other headset families may require a recorder adapter, while Delta Zulu compatibility is still described as being verified.
