I have the Van's manifold pressure gauge in my panel. Installed per instructions, grounded the sheild wire at the guage and left the other end open per installation instructions. I have an Apollo sl-40 radio mounted about an inch under the gauge.
When I press the transmit button for the radio, the manifold pressure guage maxes out. The weird thing is, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes if I transmit on a different frequency it doesn't move at all. Then if I switch frequencies, it maxes out again.
I have moved wires, grounded the shield at both ends, 1 end or the other and not at all. I can't seem to figure this out.
I have a friend that has an -8 that does the exact same thing. Any ideas?
My manifold pressure guage is just above the Apollo sl-40 as seen below.
Thanks!
