I am having an issue where when I key the Mic on my Garmin430 comm ( my only comm radio), my alternator kicks off line. This doesn't happen on the ground shortly after starting, buy when airborne, etc... It now occurs almost 100% of the time. This happened for a while intermittently, but is now very frequent. I have a Cessna style split switch and need to turn off and back on the alternator side to restore charging to the system. Thoughts? Troubleshooting steps? ID10T errors?

Happy Flyin'!
Andy

This has the smell of an RF interference issue
between ov sense circuits and your comm transmitter.
What kind of airplane? What kind of regulator/ov
protection system? Where is your antenna located?
Have you checked the SWR on the antenna to be
sure of feed line integrity?
