I recently had a GTN 650 installed in my plane. This replaced a non-WAAS 430 and my original comm 1 which was an old Bendix King something or other. Comm 2 is still an old Bendix King something or other. After installation, I have difficulty receiving radio signals on comm 1, but reception over comm 2 is fine. The problem occurs the further I get from a station. I resort to using comm 2 as my primary radio to make sure I don't miss a radio call, but this kind of defeats the purpose of having the 650 for comms. Someone mentioned to me that this might be an issue of digital vs. analog radios. Does that sound logical? Is there a way to boost the signal reception of the 650 without taking it back to an avionics shop? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
