Hi All,
I know this has been discussed before on the forum. I have looked til I bleary
eyed and can't find the answer I'm looking for.
When I key the mike I have started getting a loud static noise or feedback that
wasn't there before. I have near radio silence of incoming traffic until I am
in the pattern and then it's scratchy. It sounds ok with the engine off but I
don't know how far I'm transmitting or receiving on the ground. I am running
an ICOM A200 and Bob Archer antenna. The antenna is mounted on the fuselage wall
behind the D panel port side. It has always performed well until recently but
can't pin down what has changed. I have checked the security of all the grounds
on and forward of the firewall, as far as I can tell. I was thinking it is
time to pull the instrument panel but got to thinking about these torroids or
suppressors. Can I just string some of these onto the RG58 coax back near the
antenna and maybe help matters?
I'd really appreciate any pointers to look at specifically. I have a Sigtronics
intercom with the music switcher also.
Can the presence of an IPAD communicating with a Stratus ADSB cause this?
Most of what I found on the forum dealt with the transmitter affecting other
equipment.
This is not the case. I am hearing huge noise when I key the mike and
can't here others calling me until I'm very near, like in the landing pattern.
I can also hear the electric gyros in the headsets a little but that has always
been there but not too noticeable, a little pop from the strobes faintly,
but I can live with that. I just need to kill the giant, not the little noises
necessarily. I'd like to figure out what change took place.
Thanks,
Troy Maynor
