 |

In my newly acquired CJ, I am noticing that I am having problems hearing ATC. Their transmissions are broken up and often I do not hear them at all. I find that where I normally can contact them in my other plane I cannot in the CJ. Coming into the DC SFRA yesterday I normally could hear them at 2500' several miles east of Easton MD. Yesterday at 2500' 10 miles west of Easton, I could not hear ATC. I climbed to 3500' and got a broken response. I could hear other aircraft on the frequency (132.77) loud & clear. I also had issues hearing ATC coming out of KHEF the other day.
ATC reports they hear me loud & clear. So it seems to be a reception issue. Any recommendations on how to start troubleshooting this?
I have no problems communicating with the tower.

Sometimes these vague, flaky problems are a ground plane issue. I don't know the CJ's arrangement, but I did fix some Yak-52 (stock Baklan-5, stock antenna) radio problems with a burnishing of the underside of the fuselage and topside of the antenna plate where they're in contact.
