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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message avionics-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Avionics-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/avionics-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/avionics-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
