Marty71112 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Posted October 30, 2020 ‘70 F My son just had total comm failure on IFR flight plan. When he keyed mic, it occasionally triggered ELT. Transmission and reception became intermittent. Eventually lost com on both radios. Ideas? Thanks !
PT20J Posted October 30, 2020 Report Posted October 30, 2020 I don’t see how a comm radio could trigger the ELT. And, it is improbable that both radios would fail in the same way simultaneously. However, the comm antennas are close to the ELT antenna and if the ELT was transmitting, I could see the 121.5 MHz signal overloading the comm receivers. Skip 4
