The transmitter of one of the radios will blow the receiver on the other radio to high heaven instantly regardless of if switched on or not.

Sadly South West electronics does not do customer support.

I cannot see that this a radio issue though - it would be most unusual. There must be something else.

If your static is vented internally (i.e. no "real" static port) be aware that your prop blast can pressurise or depressurise your cabin depending on how airflo...

You would need, in addition a pin diode limiter at the...
