Wilt) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 02:33:57 PM PST US From: George Nielsen Subject: Avionics-List: "Read You Broken" My RV-6 contains a Garmin GNC 420 and a King KY 97A. Both used to work properly. Today I could listen to radio communication on both of them. But when I tried to transmit with the Garmin GNC 420 nobody acknowledged, and when I tried to do so with the King KY 97A the reply from the tower was "... read you broken". A friend of mine who was airborne stated that he also heard me broken. Therefore the cause could not have been the presence of a hangar between my aircraft and the tower. I use my headsets regularly in other aircraft and therefore do not think that the headset was the cause. Would you know what the cause of this could be, and what I can do to remedy it? Thanks.

Wilt" Problems transmitting on both radios could be caused from several differen t things. However, it is likely something that is common, like the audio panel, or the microphone jack, or a grounding problem. I wouldn't comple tely rule out the headset either. I would most likely think it is from a broken or corroded ground in the system. I would take it to an avionics shop, but you may know the wiring on your aircraft fairly well and can ch eck the continuity and/or resistance for problems fairly easily.

Wilt" Forgot to give you a trouble shooting tip. Try the failsafe mode on your audio panel. If the problem still exists, then it is not likely to be th e audio panel, if you can transmit fine, you have found the problem. On my audio panel, fail safe is turning it off and then you can use Comm 1.
