So I put in a new GTR200 a few weeks back to replace my KY97A. The first flight after the install was about 2 hrs early in the morning at altitude where it was cool and I had no problems.
Today it was really hot. The comm was working fine for most of the flight. For the last 10min or so I was down around 2k, OAT was probably 95F. As I approached the airport, it broke squelch. I pushed the squelch button, no change. I swapped frequencies and back, it went away. In the patteren it broke squelch again and I could not get it to stop. There was no one else flying at the time, so I have no idea if it was working or not at the time.
I am thinking this may be heat related. The airplane lives in a hangar, so it wasn't heat-soaked. Other than this, i have no noise or interference in my comm system. Everything is super clear.
