Noise/sound from generator

in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 9 years ago
Hi. For last month I can hear in my krt-2 radio awful sound, frequency depends on rpm and I found that if I'll pull generator circuit breaker sound disappears.

Where I should look for the problem? Grounds looks fine, regulator can be faulty?
I have also 33000uF capacitor.

    This issue could be in several places,but common ones are;

    Have you had your hands anywhere near any radio wires or routing lately? (Common issue if you have just finished some other maint.)
    Have you made any wiring changes?
    Have you added any new equipment?


    check the tray the radio slides in if you have one like that and clean the contacts,
    check the antenna connections to see if the wire is pulling out of the connection,
    clean (corrosion) and tighten all your ground wires (ground wires are considered hand tight but wrench loose until you put a wrench on them)
    check the capacitor and make sure its connections are solid
    Clean headset plugs

    Loose and or corroded wires are a common cause.
