We just finished installing the Avionics today. We had done things a little differently and installed the powerplant before the avionics. On first power up we didn't have the problems experienced by others. There was no smoke or arcing or flames or any of the other things secretely feared. The trim tab servo worked as advertised, and all appeared to be well. All that is except for the com radio.
After plugging in a headset to the pilot side jacks and tuning the radio to the local AWOS I couldn't hear anything through the headset. After some playing around I discovered that I could hear the broadcast when the power/volume/squelch knob was pulled out into the squelch mode, but with it pushed in to the power/volume mode I heard nothing.
There was very little documentation that came with the radio and I can't find any guidance there. Are there any radio gurus who might have an idea what causes this?
Thanks
