More and more I don't fly because of radio problems.
Typical flight is less than an hour. Had Sporty 200. Sometimes changed batteries approaching airport to transmit. Scratchy or no transmit at the end of flights.
Bought a 400. Worked well for an hour or so. Tower hears me on initial call up. All is well. Coming back its, "aircraft calling pendleron tower: if it's ( my n number) key your mic once." Click. " cleared to land."
Have new shielded harness and slicks. Have double shielded antennae wire and omni directional antennae buried in rear of fuselage.
No capacitors in p-leads, headset is older. Do mics go bad?
I don't think the P-leads are shielded....they are more than 8 feet from antennae. ????
Guess I will barrow a headset before I spend big bucks for a new one.
Anyone have a similar problem and fix it?
