Ar your radio's JUNK
After all these years of being bash I found out that the modules in the NEW RADIO can loose contact and you will loose your plane[:@] This is something that burns my bunns[:@]
If you have any problems stay on the ground untill you check every thing out[:@]
Man am I Pisst[:@]
Thirty year old plane trashed for a junk radio[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@] I am not changing a thing it is some thing that must be looked in to

RE: Ar your radio's JUNK
I am not sure what you mean by "modules" but when I was using FM and PCM Radios I got hits all the time which is a common thing now depending on your field location. I went to spread spectrum to get away from any potential issues.

That Little black thingy that plugs into the back of you radio, Has 2 prongs to hold it in 
some time the prong will break off and most likely it will loose contact with the pins[:@] And yes the prong do not have to break off. They say to clean them with some thing to keep them from from getting DIRTY
AFTER you pick up the pieces.

RE: Ar your radio's JUNK
You are right about the pins loosing contacked. It just make me mad that I find out about the problem after the fack[:@] The radio is a Challenger 720 work great now after I find out the problem.
If you have any thing that is not right make sure you check this, could save you a ROYAL P 51 or some thing like it
Sorry this sounds like a vent but could save some one a plane.
Computer radios are great it the people that try to operate the with out help.
