Micro Air transmission-garbled

We installed a new Micro Air in a sailplane. This is the 5th one we
have installed. All have worked great except this last one receives
perfectly, but when transmitting it sounds garbled. The boom mic is a
Micro Air. Anyone have an idea what this could be?

You might try adjusting the mic gain. If it's like the one I was working
with last week there's a mic gain adjustment under a sticky label on the
side. If it's turned up too high then there can be problems with garbled
transmissions and feedback.

I think the previous respnders got it right. The Microair is not tolerant
of low voltage nor mis-set mike gain. Mine came with the mike gain set for
an airplane which had to be increased for a quiet glider cockpit. Mine
garbles at about 11.5V.

This is not to say that there might not be other problems with your radio
but it's a place to start.
