We have had a problem with the transceivers being exposed to moisture and causing the issues we have seen across the fleet. Last time I talked with the roa avionics guy he said the ground test is useless because you have to be in moisture to get the erratic cdi swings. They are working on fixing the fleet but unfortunately they don't get focused on unless they are written up.
Well, looks like our solution is to start writing it up. It really can be eye opening but just gotta kick off the ap and do some of that pilot stuff. I always wonder what I would do with a fed on board shooting a no bs approach to mins with it doing that
