This may not be what you are experiencing, but I had a similar sounding issue with
my A6. If you use the A6 with the headset adapter you should use a remote
push to talk (PTT) switch. This is due to a wiring bug in the A6. If you try to
transmit by pushing the PTT on the side of the radio, the mic on the radio,
not the mic on the headset will be activated. The result will be that it may seem
to work fine on the ground with the engine off, but in the air and with the
engine running your voice will be weak or indistinguishable from the background
noise. An easy test is to try holding the radio up to your mouth while transmitting
and see if that improves the transmission. My issue was fixed immediately
when I installed the remote PTT, and a flying friend had the same results.
Oddly enough I did not seem to have this issue when the radio was plugged into
an intercom. ID there and chance that your remote PTT was not wired or functioning
correctly?

Yes I am using t h e ICOM A6. At first I was usin g the P TT pluged in. That did
not work well and now I am using the mike button on the radio. I am not satisfied
with that either. Maybe I can try making a cover for the muff to cover my
big mouth. Gardiner On 3/18/2013 6:55 PM, gliderx5@comcast.net wrote:

Are you using a hand held? The Icom A6 has issues without remote PTT.

Hi all. I am having trouble transmitting out. My headset has a mike
with a foam muff and while flying I can barely hear myself talk.
Needless to say, no one else can hear me either. My reception is
excellent though. See ya'll in Brodhead if I can transmi========================

Congratulations Dave!! Looked like an eminently successful first flight, a
beautiful plane and an extremely well done video. Better than most of our
"shaky-cam" segments most of us take as if it was a last minute thing.

Years ago when I instructed banner towing students, one of the mechanics rigged
up a 3vposition ptt. Forward was atc , back was the student, and spring loaded
to center. I have no idea on the electronics of it. But was planning on doing
it for my piet when I get to that point. I know this doesnt solve the engine
noise issue, but does solvethe squelch issues.

Thanks for sharing the video! What I liked best was the sound of the good
ol' Continental coming to life. It's a comforting sound. There are a coup
le of us with somewhat similar paint schemes and it's fun to imagine what w
e might look like in a formation flight.

Hey Oscar,
Thanks for the heads up. I checked on the web server and found that there was
a stuck process using 99% of the CPU. I killed it off and things seem to be back
to normal now.
