Alan Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Just wondering whether anybody had a definitive answer to the question of whether an active Bluetooth (2.4Ghz?) mobile phone can interfere with anything in the cockpit such as a transponder or GPS devices.

Matt Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 G'day Alan, We've been using a Bluetooth GPS receiver with a PDA for moving map for about 3 years in both our Sportstar and CT4 without any interference noticed in either VHF comms, transponder or our other GPS (Garmin 296). Cheers, Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airsick Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Ditto to what Matt said. Been using one for I don't know how long and never noticed any adverse effects. Is it a definitive answer? No, but it's all I got! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Alan I use a phone via bluetooth and it works great so far with no adverse effects on any electronics (Dynon 180, AvMap GPS, Xcom radio and Microair transponder), and no spurious signals or noise noticed, at least in my case. It's not definitive, but it might help. Regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
