Had a great morning flight but the 540 in my C182 was giving me a problem I'd not seen before. It appears the squelch wasn't working. When there was a transmission the signal was clear but after that I wen the frequency was quite I still had a lot of static and not able to adjust the squelch. When using comm2 I had no issues. Any suggestions as to what I might be able to trouble shoot myself before contacting the avionics shop....thanks

Frank--
While I haven't experienced it myself, the folks working on my plane after the 10.2 installation report exactly the same issue. If they can't get it resolved, I'll know in a few days and will report back. If they can fix it, I'll post that, too. Michael |

You might check that you or the shop didn't inadvertently bump the volume knob thus disabling the auto-squelch. Ask me how I know... I believe there is a post on here describing the same scenario. :)

I had the same experience. More than once. Each time it took me less time to figure it out. The first time I really felt dumb when I figured it out.

BINGO!!! That is what happened. The men in the shop must have turned the squelch off and I wasn't aware of that. I ....like a fool...assumed it was a problem. I'll know better (I hope) next time.

Thanks. I hope to have my plane back late this week or early next and will check the squelch. Maybe the mechanics already have.

That's a relief. I was getting worried. My 540 had to go back to the factory after a failed 10.2 upgrade, so I'm waiting for my unit to come back. This will be something to check for.
