Pilot BluLink Issues

[Bee3]

Anyone have any issues using a Pilot BluLink with a Helmet?

Mine distorts the incoming radio transmissions? Any ideas?

Thanks.

I have a similar problem. On one side of one aircraft. It distorts any aircraft generated warnings. It does mess with the intercom as well, but the radios are fine.

There’s two types. High and low impedance. I have the high impedance model which has worked great in intermediates, but messes with the audio in some mediums. Likely an impedance issue.

Ok thanks for the info! Makes sense.

I had the same problem with a surplus military gentex helmet...mlitary helmets are not set up for the impedence  in civy choppers...had radio tech make up a short pigtail connector for plugging into the helicopter jack...problem fixed...and I had him install a volume control on the helmet.

I hated the BluLink. Good idea, really bad implementation.

 

Ended up getting Bose A20 installed in my MSA Gallet LH250

I actually prefer my blulink over my old lightspeed zulu. 

No issues on this end.

What machine do you use it in?
 

Mine works fine it’s just the radio calls are distorted?

I can’t get any help from Aircraft Spuce, they just put me onto bluLink who haven't got back in touch with me….

Lightspeed Zulu works 100 times better than Blu-Link. Superb audio quality. BluLink always distorted for me.
