En-Route
Ok, I have no idea if I'm using the correct terminology, but I have a very intermittent issue with my radio (confirmed with the same radio on another airplane so not installation related I believe).
When I fly over areas where I expect to have plenty of radio interference (such as masts, antennas and so on), my radio will think someone is transmitting and I can hear noise. If someone does transmit, it is not affected at all and I can hear them clearly and they can hear me. But the squelch thinks someone is transmitting all the time.
It's so intermittent that I don't want to pay $500 to TKM or Bevan-Rabell to repair it, but I was wondering what part could cause that issue.
