Hi when I flew today RV12 rotax powered I was getting the squelch opening on the radio I tried adjusting it out but couldn't It transmits and receives ok
I tried turning off each magneto, GPS , strobe etc but no difference but when I shut down the skyview the squelch cleared It also does it whilst running on its own battery
any clues

...it’s those invisible electron critters again 🤣.
seriously though sometimes just moving a cable or using a shielded one can make all the difference - learned from past experience.
