I am 10 hours since CI, a major job at Lockwood including new gear legs, 5-year hoses, and engine standoff. I mention this as a point of reference only. Today in flight the radio started crackling, popping and major static. I could not hear any transmission, AWOS, etc. I turned the radio off and still got the noise. I reset the headset plugs, but still no improvement. The VR is putting out the correct voltage/amps. When I slowed down in the traffic pattern the static mostly cleared and I could communicate.
I plan to check with the intercom off, examine all fuse pins, and recycle the master. Anyone ever have this event happen, or have ideas what to check beyond what I've outlined? I spoke to Lockwood and a local radio shop and have not gotten any definitive direction. Thanks for your help.
