Im going to pick one up myself .. but my radios are in one Gables 5 in 
one unit thats 3 comms, 2 navs..
the interface is ARINC410 
(http://phoenixcomm.wordpress.com/projects/airinc-410/) which i designed 
a interface for the Aruino parallel ports.. this solution does not 
require any change to the radio head! As an engineer I hate to redevelop 
the wheel.. lol my adapter is only on paper as I have been caught short 
for cash and was looking into using a Xilinx part to get rid of all the 
gates... I will try and put enough info up in my blog to show one 
channel. my unit will handle lots of radios, 5 bits of data per head + 
power, + dial lamps, dme lights, etc. also when you read the radio you 
also see the power switch..
each radio also has volume control out puts all 3 wires so you can do 
you own thing.. what I have planed is a network radio connection  with 
its output (may just use one computer with lots of audio adapters in 
it.. then all the outputs goes through the radio head(s) and to a unity 
gain mixer then to a little amp and to speakers or headphones.. oh yes 
you most likely like a second output off the mixer to the 'data 
recorder'....

enjoy
