I can use some thoughts on the following problem:
On my way in to the Washington DC SFRA, I contacted approach and all was fine. They heard me fine, I heard them fine and I was allowed to proceed. Just 1 minute later, they tried to contact me again and I could barely hear them. Very, very faint. I tried this on both radio?s with the same result. Turned the squelch on the 430W off and heard lots of normal pink noise. ATC could hear me just fine, I could just not hear them. It was clearly not the 430W itself, nor my audio panel, nor my Icom A-200 radio. Interestingly enough, I could clearly hear my buddy (half a mile away) and he could clearly hear ATC. Very strange. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
