I went round and round chasing intermittent radio issues on a new to me RV12. Ended up finding out that one of the mic jacks was shorted to ground. No biggie I thought pulled the wings and replaced the jack. Then when it still read continuity to ground I pulled the connection at the AV50000A box. Short goes away.
Reading about it I decided to ditch the flightcom 430 and SL40 and install a GTR200B have bluetooth, more modern radio, etc. I just got the radio today (shout out to Stein Air who was the most knowledgeable friendly place I have ever bought anything airplane related from) and am making my game plan.
I intend to wire it all around the AV50000A. Just install and wire connections directly to the radio so there are less points of failure and connections.
Question I have for people who know more than I do is where to use shielded wire etc. Im going to stereo headset jacks so will have to remove the floor and run all new wiring anyway.
To shield or not to shield that is the question! And if anyone has other hints they would be appreciated.
Im excited to get it done and installed but it will be a little bit of a project!
Thanks!
