I've got two radios in my RV - an SL-30 and a GNC 250XL GPS/Comm.
We're required to talk to departure at my field, and there is one frequency which always, always sounds terrible in my ears when I transmit on the SL-30. Scratchy and staticky. (125.12 out of VKX, if you're interested.)
Doesn't do that on any other frequency on that radio or on the other radio. It's just that freq on that radio.
The noise only appears to be on my side - ATC says it sounds fine on their side. It's not my headset, either - I've verified it with a Lightspeed Zulu, a QT Halo and a CQ. Same behavior on all.
What could cause that kind of noise on just one frequency on one radio?
