Nope it’s definitely electrical noise – I mean you can’t be understood when you transmit kind of noise. I can hear incoming broadcasts clear as day (well this is Seattle – let’s say clear as a bell – wait they’re made out of metal and not clear at all – oh, you get the idea!

That wouldn't be prop (wind) and engine noise by any chance?
You're sitting inside the airplane with the canopy closed?
Try a different headset (different mic).

Hey Buly (and anyone else)

I’ve got an RST intercom and an ICOM radio (don’t remember the number but only 1 year old). When the engine is off I can hear and Xmit fine. Turn the engine on and I can still hear fine (i.e. no noise) but when I key the mic there is a ton of noise in my headset and in the broadcast. It’s not high pitched just a mid-range noise.

I ruled out the alternator by taking the belt off – noise was still there.

So why noise only when I transmit? Any thoughts?
