I have the same setup in my 8A I have not flown yet
but it works fine on the ground.
After wiring it I'm amazed it worked at all.

Jacob:

Before you chuck the intercom, check your wiring on the connector.  The kind 
of problem you report  is not uncommon with an incorrectly wired connector 
or one with a solder bridge.  Solder bridges are very easy to get when 
wiring those devilish little pins.

My experience with Flitecom intercom in my RV-8 was a very happy one.
