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?

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: Gardiner Are you using a hand held?

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.

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.

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. -------- Paul Donahue Started 8-3-12 do not archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=396602#396602 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 03:01:38 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: location From: "curtdm(at)gmail.com" I'm due north of DFW! -------- Curt Merdan Flower Mound, TX Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=396608#396608 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 09:16:04 PM PST US From: Oscar Zuniga Subject: Pietenpol-List: First Flight Dave=3B 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.
