I originally sent my RST back to Jim Weir to have him check it out. When I first used it with a hand held radio it made all sorts of noise. He looked it over and declared it “OK” – he said broadcasting with a handheld radio only a few feet from the unit will generate a lot of radiated noise. Sure enough – if I get the handheld 10 or more feet away the noise goes away.

I wonder what the RST people have to say about these?

Beats me Joe? I was also like a babe in the woods with my radio, until I installed a new Icom and small and simple intercom. Now is perfect. RST is on my desk ready for Ebay.

My fuel pumps used to make lots of noise also?

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?
