Westland Lynx
Hi,
My first post here. Maybe someone knows answer.
At our school (Aviation Competence Centre) we recently received a Lynx helicopter from the royal dutch navy.
Unfortunately nobody at our school has any knowledge about this helicopter yet,
so no one knows the solution.
Our problem,
When switching on the V/UHF radio or even the UHF radio we can receive transmissions from the airport (EHBK) but these transmissions are with a lot of noise where the reception of our F-16 aircraft in the same building is al lot better.
Then when we press the PTT switches a loud beep tone is heared through the headsets.
This beeptone is heard on all frequencies.
We also have no intercom functionality as we can not hear each other talk.
We tried to communicate between the F-16 and Lynx and in the F-16 I could hear the beeptone from the Lynx on the radio. So we know the Lynx transmits but its not our voice but only a beep tone (almost like a morse code tone).
I read in the manuals that the Lynx requires a specific headset jack plug. Currently we use a heaset with U-174/U.
When the radio is put in testmode 888888 is shown.
So if anyone knows what the problem might be?
We would be very thankful.
Regards,
