I thought I posted this, but I couldnt find it.

The headset: http://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_11&products_id=3

Once I get some RPMs going (about 2300) this headset will create some static on the intercom for the other person in the plane. The tower cant hear the static.

I bought it as a backup, and let my son wear it and I could hardly hear him. So, I sent it in to Rugged Radio and they nicely sent me a new one. But, same issue. And I have duplicated this in another aircraft so it isnt the plane.

If I swap headsets in the same plane with my Zulu 2, and me wearing the RR, the person wearing the Z2 hears it. To confirm, I borrowed a Clark headset and couldnt duplicate the issue with me wearing the Z2. So, it IS the radio.

Any ideas on this? I am hoping it is something simple that Im not thinking of.
 
Chinese parts are made like Harbor Freight hardware. They are only designed for very light and sporadic usage.

It's unfortunate, but that's why they are so inexpensive. I can fix them for you, but it will cost you more than that headset is worth.
