| Subject: | xm weather receiver |
Has anyone had a problem with an xm weather receiver causing an over-ride o
f the squelch function of their com radios. When I have the xm box on and
connected to an AVMap portable moving map/gps=2C much of the time there is
a lot of noise (static) that sounds like the squelch button is pulled on my
collins nav radio. The static continues throughout transmissions from atc
. Occassionally everthing is quiet and works properly=2C but there are als
o lots of times when there is static=2C even when radio transmissions are q
uiet. As soon as I pull the breaker that controls power to the xm box=2C t
he noise stops immediately. I have the box mounted in the rear of the airc
raft on the hat shelf=2C the power and antenna run to the front of the plan
e under the headliner=2C and the antenna for the xm box is sitting on a gla
reshield mount=2C right next to the gps antenna for the avmap. This is in
a beech sierra aircraft. I am going to go fly and have someone disconnect
the antenna lead from the unit in flight to see if it is the antenna. I w
ill also disconnect power at the unit to see if that has any effect. I wil
l also pull the data transmission line out to see what that does. thanks
