Luigi,
My opinion does not count 100% , since I haven`t tried my radio with
engine running so far.
But I have contacted the tower of the airfield I usually fly off (
EDFL, about 10km away ) from my ground floor workshop, with a steel
concrete ceiling above me and brick walls around.
Flap and trim motors made no disturbance.
I use a german Filser/Funkwerk 833a COM with a Funkwerk antenna that
has been developed especially for the composite gliders ( and powered
gliders) that we have so many here in Germany.
It consists of a 65cm wire part and has a short connection cable with a
standart plug. I also bought a 5m (thats roughly 15ft for you
non-metricals) extension cable and followed the recommendation of the
Knowing ( and Dave`s, but I didn`t know of him at that time;-) ) and
epoxied it to the aft side of the vertical stab`s bulkhead. There is no
need for any alu or copper "counterweights".
The antenna was about 40 Euro + tax.
I don`t think you have to buy a new radio. From what I heard the ICOM
radios are ok.
If youre interested, just mail me and I will tell you where you can
buy the stuff in Germany, in case they don`t sell it in Italy.
Which airfield in Italy do you fly from?
Hope this helps!
Gerd
