| Subject: | How to eliminate noise on COMM 1 (GNS430W) |
Hi
I have now 60h on my -10 and suffer of bad noise of my COMM 1 GNS430W.
It is constantly receiving loud noise only when the engine is running. Often it
is ok on my home frequency 122.15 but permanently noise is present on 124.xxx
frequencies.
The COMM 1 is connected to a belly mounted Comant C-122 antenna which is attached
by screws and nut plates. The antenna came with a cork gasket which I used.
Here are my set of questions. The radio receives fine when engine is not running,
so I guess that grounding of antenna or cabling should not be the cause of
the issue. What could be the potential source of the noise? How can I identify
it?
I took all electric circuits one by one off-line without success.
Any ideas are appreciated
Thanks
Mike

Sounds like it is a shielding issue. Make sure that you use shielded ground and
antenna wires. The shield should be grounded on just one side, not both (either
antenna side or radio side).

Mike. Have you tried pulling the field breaker on the alternator so you are
running on battery power only? If so, then it would appear you are a problem
with the magnetos generating noise. If the problem goes away when you turn
off the alternator then we are chasing an issue with respect to the alternator
and it's regulator.
One point if note, there are squelch setting deep in the set-up menu of the gns
series. I remember making tweaks to it on my glastar many years ago. Now
with respect to the rv-10, I have dual gns-430w, each with a belly mount c-122
antenna and I did use the cork gaskets. All works as advertised, I never have
a communication issue with the radios on any frequency.

There are several issues that can cause the problem you describe. This last
week I fixed a similar problem on an RV-8A - an antenna connector on the
feed line was bad. A bad connector can still allow the radio to receive.
As you don't say this is a problem on Comm #2 and this problem just
appeared, below are some thoughts to isolate the root issue:
- swap Comm #1 and Comm #2 antennas to see if the problem moves. If so you
have either bad connectors, some other antenna feed line issue or a bad
antenna (not likely). I use an MFJ antenna analyzer to verify antenna
health.
- swap out your 430 with someone else's 430 - if the problem goes away the
issue is inside your 430. As Bob suggests this might be a simple squelch
setting.
If the above checks do not change the symptoms then start looking at the
things not checked. This would include tray connections and magneto control
cabling (must be shielded wire and grounded per standard magneto wiring
practice). If you did something right before this issue started, that would
also be a place to look.

Yes.
I used the seal as a form to build the edge back up to the proper
thickness. I just filled the seal with flox and installed it on the lip. It
came off nicely in a single pull.
Now, I only let is sit on there for two days or so while the epoxy cured,
then I peeled it off. I don't know how things would change if it were on
there longer.

The base of your antenna must have a good ground. I never use the cork gasket.
Also ALL ground connections on your radios must go to a separate ground bus, directly
connected to the battery. No airframe grounding of any kind.
Do not archive.

You are correct. Antenna cable is NOT one of the places that shielding
is terminated to ground at only one end.
There are opportunities for a bad shield connection with coax. An
earlier suggestion to swap antenna cables between Com 1 and Com 2 is a
good one to see if it is the cable(does problem move between coms or
not?). Likewise, if possible to either borrow another matching radio to
see if it does it also, or to put your radio in someone ele's plane to
see if the problem goes with the radio. All no/lo-cost tests.
Magnetos/electronic ignition and alternator system are two prime
candidates for noise generation. Easy to eliminate the alternator noise
by pulling field and main breakers.

I do have one common ground for everything at the firewall. It works fine for my
COMM 2 (SL30). I will follow your advice and switch off field and then EI/Magneto.
The ground of measuring connectivity of the antenna ground base against
the structure has been positive. In order to switch antenna cable I need to make
a male-male and one female-female coax as the connectors are just the other
way around. But I do have now a pretty good idea to eliminate at least some
potential sources. I'll keep you updated of the outcome.
Thanks

The gasket is there to prevent moisture from getting to the connection
and inside the airframe. It does NOT inhibit grounding. If you don't use
the gasket then you need a good RTV or Proseal bead to seal the base of
the antenna from the weather.
Grounding happens between the attach screws and the riveted nutplates,
not from skin to antenna contact.
As long as a common ground point is used it does not matter whether
there is a wire conductor back to the battery or the airframe is used on
metal aircraft like the RV-10. Only things like intercoms, mike and
headset jacks need a floating ground to prevent ground loops.

Genesys Aerosystems was formed by Roger Smith, President, and General
Manager of the two acquired companies, Rick Price and Gordon Pratt,
co-founders of Chelton Flight Systems, and Tammy Crawford, Director of

include AgustaWestland, Airbus Military, Air Medical Group Holdings,
Bell Helicopter, Carson Helicopters, Embraer, Grob Aircraft, Sikorsky,
Textron AirLand, and commercial, military, and government fleets around
the world.
