Sorry that your M760 isn’t working. I’ve had one in my Kitfox for about seven years now, no problems. Did you disconnect the PTT wire at the connector? If that doesn’t make it go away, see if they’ll send you an advance warranty replacement.

I had a similar issue with an Xcom 760 radio. The factory in Australia said they had a known issue with some of the mother boards from a new subcontractor. I found a us distributer and was able to exchange it but it did take 2 weeks. Couple things to think about .
1. disconnect both mikes. Some radios can be triggered to transmit from a short in the mike or the wire.
2 A radio is not required for flight if you have found a real airport with out a tower.
P.S. towered airports are for bad pilots. Why else do they need someone else telling them what to do.

Hi guys
Anybody had problems with a Microair M760 radio? Mine is just two weeks old from brand new but the red light keeps coming on indicating that it is transmitting and after the prescribed 45 seconds the light starts flashing to indicate a stuck PTT. Nothing will stop it doing this, not even completely disconnecting the PTT switch. Nothing will work on the radio when it is doing this but after a few minutes it just comes right for no apparent reason and then works perfectly, until the next time. It could be fine all day or it could do it again in ten minutes. The factory says send it back to Australia but that means no flying for a month or more.

Thanks for the comments guys. After a bit of arm twisting Microair have agreed to send me a replacement radio before I send the other one back. When a brand new radio malfunctions the very first time you turn it on I think this is the least they can do, but anyway well done Microair, they came to the party after all.
I agree with Kirk's comment about control towers but unfortunately in our small country we cant go to a lot of places, or easily get fuel, without going into Mandatory Broadcast Zones.

Based on your experience, I would not buy a Microair.
