My new RV7A has 2 icom a200 radios coupled with a Garmin 340 audio panel. I like the set up and it seems easy enough but ATC complains about garbled transmissions. I seem to receive them fine though. I use a halo and have checked the mic direction. I have read about grounds and antenna leads but have not really tested anything for lack of knowledge. I do get some strobe noise and a whine when I increase my panel dimmer light to higher intensity. Perhaps this is a symptom. I also noticed that when I select the pilot " isolate" feature to kill music on final, all the RF noise and whining goes away.
I feel like I am a bit lazy just asking questions without really investigating anything on my own but I don't really know where to begin....
So what would you suggest? Please include detailed instruction because I don't know much about radios except how to push the PTT.![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
