Hi all,
Reviving this thread, hope it's OK as we can avoid repeating all the good advice.
Not my aircraft, but I have an interest. I fly it from time to time.
912 Quantum.
PAW on top of the tank, RHS.
PSU is a Charge 2.
USB cable supplied with PAW.
Intercom - Microavionics. Radio - A6 MkII.
With no radio connected, clean as a whistle listening to intercom on headset.
With radio connected, and using the stock Quantum aerial on the nose, splats every 1-2 seconds. Splat is worst on frequencies round about 122.210 MHz. Does not go at highest squelch setting.
Splat in line with LED flash on the PAW, need to look more thoroughly tomorrow, but I'm guessing L1.
Swap Quantum installed aerial for rubber duck, problem gone, but this could just be lower gain of rubber duck.
L1 flash must be because of ground station about 40 metres away?
USB cable hit with ferrite beads, no change.
Three things to worry about:
Weather stops me testing outside, and so the engine is not running. This could be a problem that is user generated. Battery on conditioner so top quality. Next test with engine on.
L1 flash green means RX, so is the next thing to turn off the ground station and see if the fault clears?
Home page says fine but occasionally no 1090, it's in the hangar so why would there be?
Aircraft not mine so not 100% sure of wiring.
Thoughts please?
