I was on an "escape" mission from a major front chainsawing across North and Northeast FL to get back to home base. In the process ended up flying through a band of extreme rain (but thankfully not a thunderstorm) and then had an intermittent stuck mike for the rest of the flight while dodging weather, etc.
A lot of you might wonder why I did not use a handheld. I actually always carry one in my flight bag. It's an older version of an iCom and I have adapters to connect with my BOSE LEMO plug as well as an antenna connector to plug into a jack below the panel that connects to COM 2 antenna. I started to assemble the spaghetti but found myself interrupted by further weaving and dodging as well as responding to ATC. A bit too long to put together for a relatively short flight (less than 45 min). I just kept on flying....
A bit of a stressful flight
When you watch the video you will be just as annoyed as I was by the constant intermittent stuck mike!!!
