Hello,

Is anyone having any issue with the Stratux unit causing interference with the radios in the aircraft?  I had been mounting my Stratux on the dash of my Cherokee but lately it seems to cause very loud static with my VHF radios in the aircraft.  I recently moved it to the back seat on my overnight bag and that solved the problem with the static.  Is there something that I need to do to prevent the static in the radios when I set the unit on the dash or is that a common occurrence?  Thanks all!

I have the first genration Pi in my Stratux, and it sits on the glareshield of the Cessna 340 right on top of the audio panel, a PSE 8000.  I have over 250 hours on the Stratux with no RFI problems on any radio. It could be that the planes having problems have ground loops built into the plane because of bad grounding of the mic and audio jacks.  All jacks should have a separate ground wire from each ground pin on a jack that goes back to the ground stud on the back of the audio panel. Grounding to the airframe for convenience is a no-no.
