When I pushed the PTT the engine would almost quite and the EM2 would start to scramble, even the FM radio on the garage wall would quite. After a calls to the Gulf Coast Avionics techs is was soon apparent that they led me on a trouble shooting trip that led to nowhere.

A bad radio right out of the box". We should be hearing about a first flight in the next few months!
