christian Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 A friend and I have Midland G7 radios. The radios work fine on the ground, but are almost useless in the air. Reception is broken up or non existent. I have attached my G7 on the paramotor frame to be as far as possible from the motor and on the opposite side to the throttle cable. Has anybody got any ideas to get these radios working? Thanks, Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwizz Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Are the radios OK in the air with the engine off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilzy Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Are you using a resisted plug normally shown by an "R" in the plug number ie NGK 9 ES R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks for getting back to me....... Not sure whether the radios work in the air when the motors are not running. I can't see why they wouldn't as they have tested fine on the ground, we are also flying Miniplanes, so not much in the way of wiring. Anyway, I will try this out the next time that we are up.........but the weather's not looking good for the next few days. I an using an NGK B9ES.
