[QUOTE="bicter, post: 522243, member: 1240"] Evie, Not that I'm aware of. Most ground based navaids are transmit only. When you consider that all signals are attenuated at the inverse square ratio, ie double the distance causes a reduction of 25% signal strength, the detector would need to be quite close to have an effect. On the aircraft side, I don't have any knowledge of them causing issues either. Also the detectors would have passed EMI/RFI testing to meet Australian requirements before they were allowed to be sold in Australia. This approval testing has now morphed into C-Tick approvals.
