radio

About once a week I'll hear someone contact my tower (class D) with a radio call like this: [PART 1] "Pilot: DuPage Tower, RV 123AB" "Tower: RV 123AB, DuPage Tower" <Crickets for 5+ seconds> [PART 2] After long, awkward silence on the channel... "Tower: RV 123AB, DuPage Tower, say request"...

Has anyone else experienced this? Back in Dec timeframe, was practicing in my instructor's C172 at RHV and we were hearing what sounded like a radio station or something similar bleeding over onto tower's freq. Fast forward to a few days ago, and I hear the same thing on my handheld in my...

Hey there, I recently added a second used (and I realize that might be part of the issue) TKM MX-170C to my radio stack. It is now my #1 NAV/COM. My #2 is a slightly older used -170C that was previously in the number one slot. Ever since installing the new-to-me unit, there’s been a lot of...

I'd appreciate any troubleshooting ideas.... When I push the copilot PTT switch (Two wires), I don't get a side tone, other aircraft / ATC can't hear me (I do not get "carrier no voice"), and there is no voice transmission through the intercom. The T light in each radio lights up and I do hear...

I've been looking for a decent handheld radio backup. Looking for to pay no more than $150.

Recently hired as an HF radio operator for ARINC. While I'm very excited to start, naturally I'm curious about the longevity of the position. Will CPDLC make it obsolete anytime soon? Is there some other technology that might make it obsolete soon? Or is this a solid job for a while? Do major...

2021 (2022) UPDATE AT END OF THREAD (In short, get a Bose/Lightspeed/David Clark. No question). [Unsure if this post belongs here, in "Technical", or elsewhere. Is there a "Gear" channel?] Pilots and sound junkies, let's have a sound-off! Bose A20 vs the Faro Stealth 2 ANR. (Note: The Stealth...

Me and my dad just bought a 1975 Cessna 182P. It does not have Mode C or adsb and it still has the original cessna radios which we want to replace although they do work. We plan to use the 182 for cross country trips as well as to build time towards an instrument rating. I think a GNX375 makes...

Hi all, Having a bit of a radio issue in my '71 Beech that I'm hoping someone may have had before. Since we bought it, the radios have been a little bit scratchy but recently have taken a turn for the worst. It slowly became harder and harder to hear incoming transmissions through the headset...

Hey guys - I've been trying to figure out how to effectively record cockpit radio - I've used a splitter but no matter how much I lower or increase the volume in cockpit the audio redlines in the gopro. Has anyone else come across this issue? Not going to buy a dedicated recorder with an...

Hi Everyone! Finally was able to post the second half of my adventures with Lynne and Cassidy on a flight to and from KHXF (Hartford, WI) originating at KMWC (Milwaukee's Timmerman Field). This time Cassidy was up front (a popular request here on PoA) and we had a blast. Cassidy wasn’t too into...

What are some of the top suggestions for VFR / IFR radio training outside the airplane? Any experiences/feedback that you'd like to share from your own training?

Good Evening everybody on the East Coast. As I mentioned in a previous thread, I am getting a kick out of my handheld radio. I am able to listen to the KART CTAF from my office! Very cool! I've got this little guy, the Icom IC-A6...

I've been working on a team including pilots and a former air traffic controller to develop an app for just over a year now, and I'm pleased to announce that it's now available. Back in 2015, I was just in the process of looking for a plane to buy when my wife and two kids and I ended up moving...
