Hi guys,
So while on my way up to Portland my COM 1 went garbelled according to ATC...Its an ICOM A200 fed thru the audio panel.
There is a bent whip antenna on the belly...Reception is perfect...My Wife said she could hear weired sounds in her headset when I TX but the intercom works normally when not transmitting.
COM 2 was "Much better" (GNS430) although because I have a wingtip antenna is subject to sheilding.
My first thought was to swap antennas on the back of the units and see where the problem goes.
But then i thought I might ask if someone has a better approach.
Radios have been working normally up to now...But sometimes will get ignition noise passed thru...Then I usually change the (auto)plugs and it goes away...But I can normally hear it when this happens...Although for $9 I might just change the plugs anyway.
Thanks
Frank
