Help with Radio

[vernon11]

I have an Icom A210 Radio in my Savannah. There is a constant buzzing which is really frustrating. The squelsh makes no difference. It is not engine noice, because on the ground with motor off it is still there. When flying, I am not sure if any engine noice is coming through, because of the constant buzzing.
Please, can someone help.

Vernon, you have a bee in your headset

only joking

It sound like you are having interference from the proximity of the likes of a GPS or skydat.
Generally they do not have noise suppressors (choke) built in.

Get hold of Zulu1 on the forum. The man knows what he is doing.

Hi James.
You have upset me. I will never borrow your plane again.

Hi Grumpy.
The GPS is not connected, and I dont have a skydat.

Vernon, are your headset jack plugs insulated from the airframe?

With some intercom systems it is recommended that they are not grounded as there may be some form of loop feedback

No James.
Thanks for that. It does make sense. I will take them off when I go up again, and give it a try.
