statics in COM1 Avionics shop in Tucson AZ area

[Nikolai]

recently the statics in my COM1 in Garmin 430W gets really bad. COM2 is working just fine, thus I believe the problem is localized in Garmin unit.  Any recommendations for shop, competent to diagnose the radio, in Tucson Area? Any suggestion what to check?

Thank you

You could go see Troy at AVQ.

But first I would swap the two radios and see if the problem follows the radio. Just R&R ing them may fix it.

There are a couple of other items between the radio and the world of electromagnetic radiation and reception.  I would suggest some troubleshooting before assuming it's the radio.

I do understand thing or two about Radio and Electronics in general, but not in the airplane, unfortunately. Also I do not (yet) have a hangar to work on it, that's why I am asking for help.

 N201MKTurbo, could you help with contacts of Troy, please?

I have his cell, but I usually don’t give out other peoples cell unless it’s approved, but just call Tucson Air Center. They know who he is and they will fix you up.
