This may be finger trouble or aircraft interference, wood and fabric?
Oddly enough I'm happy with my A6E in a wood and fabric airframe. Are you pressing the button before speaking?
Err, yes I do believe I did push the button! In fact I also tried a remote PTT which said TX when I used it.
At a range of 20 yd it worked, called a ground station at 3 miles at 2000ft, they didn't hear me. Called a Microlight from the ground at 200 ft x 300 yds on final, "unreadable".
RX was OK from 14 nm.
I don't trust the thing.
Oddly enough I had similar results with an old A20 which I put down to it being, well........old. Maybe these things are fussy about where they're used?
While you might think that I couldn't possibly comment.
