Just got back from a flight to a neighboring airport where 100LL is cheaper and giving the folks a couple low passes. Am trying out my new Vertex handheld. It works real well with my intercom and I can transmit about 60 miles out. The only problem I have, and I had it with another handheld, is that I cannot squelch out the static. If I use the whip antenna it silences the static no problem. But when using the aircraft antenna, it wont silnce with the squelch. SO I know it is an antenna problem. I made the standard copper tape antenna but forgot to us the teroids (?) Is there a fix for this problem?
