I have a MGL V6 radio that would lock up, and not receive or transmit after the engine (Jabiru 3300) was started. The Jabiru uses non-restor spark plugs, which im told create noise. The eliminator solved the issue completely.
I had this installed and wired to the radio. It was picking up my electric fuel pump and LED Nav lights. Now it transmits clear no mater what electronics I have running.
After I got the avionics fan quiet, the next whirring noise that was audible in the headsets was from my electric/vacuum Brittain Wing Leveler Turn Coordinator. As it appeared that my PS Engineering audio panel picked up the noise, I first installed the Lone Star filter on the power side of the audio panel just as an experiment. Installed there however, it did not soak up the whirring noise. I then, as with the avionics fan, installed the filter at the turn coordinator end of the wiring and the whirring noise disappeared.
My avionics fan makes a whirring noise that one can hear all the time in the headsets. I guess the audio panel picks it up. I installed the filter at the fan end of the wiring and the whirring noise disappeared. I have ordered a second filter as my tail strobe also makes a noise in the headsets - basically was covered up by the avionics fan whirring, but once the avionics fan noise was quieted, then the tail strobe became the next noise to be concerned with. I however wonder if this may be a trend as such, I will try the filter first on the power side of the audio panel just as an experiment.
I fly a WWII TBM Avenger and the radios noise made the comms unintelligable! The Eliminator did the trick! Best $150 we spent !
Upgraded generator to Plane Power alternator kit on Cont O-200. The alternator had a whine that was almost unbearable in my headsets. After installing this filter there is zero whine at all. As a bonus, it blocked out the Chinese torture strobe fire noise too! The power wire to my radio now runs through this filter. Note: I didnt power my Garmin 696 through this filter, so If I connect the sound from the 696 to the intercom system I get the noise again. Will be changing the power wiring for the 696 soon to fix this problem. I cant believe I went so long without a filter. Certainly pleased with this product.
works just like its advertised,got rid of my multiple electrical motor whines,dont know if it will help alternator problems as I installed the alt whine remover first,am now whine/noise free....
The unit did not help with engine noise on the radio.
