After a pile of ferrite beads and slightly more intelligent wire routing, I've reduced the MGL Odyssey's chainsaw buzz in the COMM circuit a lot. But I can still hear it with the GNS430W's squelch off. It's not horrible, I can still pick up SMO ATIS 2 miles away from inside the shop, but I'd love to get it to the point where zero squelch is just white noise.
One thing I thought of: I'm using regular AN flush mount screws to attach the radio trays to the panel, subframe, and reinforcing angle. Is it possible that hardware is acting like a bunch of little antennas and conducting EFIS RF into the radio?
If that's the case, what's the recommended hardware for attaching radio trays to the airframe?
Cheers,
