Working through the PAP, and I have the following situation:
When running the avionics on the ground, off of battery power, engine not running, I get a lot of background static in my headset that I cannot squelch out. As soon as I say something over the intercom or dial in the ATIS on the radio, everything is clear, but when all is quiet (or should be quiet) I get the noise.
Doing a radio check, others can hear me fine.
Question: do I have a problem? Or will the cockpit noise during normal operations squelch out the noise?
Besides checking grounds, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
