Alternator noise on Xmit only
(I have only "seen" this plane on the telephone, but the folks I am trying to
help were pretty clear about the symptoms) The basic problem is alternator noise on the transmitted carrier, receive is OK, and alternator noise is not apparent anywhere else in the plane. The pitch of the noise changes with engine RPM and disappears when you switch off the alternator. -No complaint of alternator noise in the intercom. -The symptom is the same on both radios. -If you turn off the intercom and key the radio, it still transmits the alternator noise. -They have tried different headsets So far, I have told them to carefully check any ground straps under the cowl and to check that the radio stack has a good ground. Any other advice? (Jim's take will be especially appreciated) Thanks Vaughn -- Will poofread for food. |
