I bought "vmWare fusion 3" . It was an easy download.
Then I loaded windows 95 and now I can drag and drop
files between the two os systems. Really kind of cool.

I could not agree more about Mac vs. PC. Every time I use my Fusion to use a PC
program, I am reminded how crumby the Microsoft world is ... and how simple
the Mac is. I switched when Microsoft went to that Never Never land of charging
for a "downgrade" from Vista to XP.

waste my money on Win 7 unless I had to. The Mac is so much better that I
really only use Windows for one program. Check with Dynon and see what version
they require to do the upgrades.
Good luck.

John,
Given how cheap Windows laptops (with Windows 7) have become, why leave yourself
open to any hassles, particularly ones that may not be obvious, until you fire
them up in the aircraft.
I have observed some less than satisfactory results running the Windows emulation
on a Macbook.
Cheers,
Bill Hamilton

For all the replies on my question about avionics upgrades, Thank you. Now
I have more to think about while I sand the fiberglas smooth.

Looking for a place to get my pitot/static/encoder/transponder certified. Getting
ready to start my instrument training in my 6A.
I heard Summitt in DE and Easton in MD but didn't catch any of the details...anyone
know the details for these two airports. Looking for Shop Name and phone
number.
I can fly to either but want to arrange to hopefully get it done while I wait.
Thanks,

| Subject: | GNS 430 Calibration sequence |
Tim,
Ever since I had my 430 converted to a 430w the GI-106 has been out of
calibration. On startup the half up and half left don't quite make it
to
half. When flying a course on the 106 it would not match the CDI built
in
the 430 by about half a needle tick on the 106. I have entered the
setup
mode and done the 225 (I believe) adjustment and that is spot on. I
don't
fly hard IFR so it's not a life or death issue, but it was spot on
before
the upgrade so I know it can be adjusted somehow. I have the install
manuals
but I'm missing one that deals with calibration. I have pinouts and rack
mounting antenna mounting etc but nothing on calibration. I learned
about
the set up mode from another user.
Dave

| Subject: | AFS fuel flow system display changes |
First, I'll preface by saying that I really like the equipment that these folks
have for our planes and their customer service is top-notch - and I am an outsider
not related to the company other than as a customer. Not bashing anyone
here - just trying to get an understanding of who this change impacts and how
it impacts them. My configuration started as a 3400EM - I have since upgraded
to 3400sSP configuration (new processor and screen in addition to six-pack display)
to have a set of backup instruments. The upgrade also included a Beta
software release to fix a couple of last minute bugs in my system.
Here's the scoop:
I have 19 gallons per side for main tanks and 9 gallons per side for tip tanks
for a total capacity of 56 gallons, with them all filled, the system reports 56
gallons available.
Previously, the "Fuel Used" display only showed that fuel that has flowed through
the flow-meter. If I only fill the mains, the system shows 38 gallons available
and zero used. As I ran the engine for my flight, the "Fuel Used" display
would increase from Zero by showing only fuel flowed through the flow meter.
Now, the "Fuel Used" display shows the fuel that has flowed through the flow-meter
plus the unfilled tanks.
If I only fill the mains, the system shows 38 gallons available and 18 gallons
used. As I ran the engine for my flight, the "Fuel Used" display would increase
from 18 while adding the fuel that has subsequently flowed through the flow-meter.
Somewhere during the flight, if I look at the "Fuel Used" display, I note that
what is reported is getting close to what I just put in.....18 gallons early.
Good safety margin - but not what I was expecting.
I have queried the folks at AFS about this - they respond that the change was made
in the interest of safety and to reduce confusion. Yes, I could simply not
look at the "Fuel Used" display and only look at the "Fuel Available" display
and cross check that with my fuel guages and time calculations for flight endurance
planning purposes. I also asked for an optional flowed-only mode or to
allow the user the choice of calculation methods (they still have the old code
and it simply would be a system setting).
I know that I am not the only one having trouble with this change - AFS indicated
that they have received multiple indications of concern.
Anyone else out there think this is an "odd change"? How are you (planning to)
accomodating this? I am planning to try ignoring the "Fuel Used" display and
see how that works....with a plan B of having multiple configurations (with and
without tip-tanks) that I can upluad when Iplan to fuel the tiptanks. I don't
expect them to change it back - but they may provide options if enough folks
ask for it. Or, am I being overly picky about something that shouldn't matter
- in the big picture?
Your opinions please,
Ralph Capen

| Subject: | RDR1200 / Avidyne |
| From: | "tjyak50" <tomjohnson(at)cox.net> |
RDR1200 in an Mu2 linked to an Avidyne, works great.
But with Stabilization on, it paints more to the left than the right.
I leveled the airplane and made sure the R/T was also level to the airplane and
the gyro has also been leveled to the airplane.
But the Avidyne still paints more left than right.
I tried the Roll Trim inside the Avidyne maintenance pages but it didn't help.
There is a Roll and Pitch potentiometer on the R/T antenna itself, not sure what
that does.
The Radar book says to shim the gyro so maybe that is all thats left.
Any insight is appreciated.

I'm not familiar with the specifics of the RDR 1200, but before I adjusted anything
on the antenna I'd be certain that the gyro was putting out the proper signal.
There's a good chance that the roll pick off in the gyro is out of alignment,
given that the antenna tracks normally without the stabilization signal.
I'd have the gyro bench checked, especially if it hasn't been done in a few years.

Good idea. Might just continue to live with it.
I think sending a Gyro for bench test that is otherwise working just fine is begging
to get a $5000 invoice and no improvement.
Down the road a G600 will fix all of that I am sure..

Actually, just a bench check without doing any repair or adjustment is pretty inexpensive.
In fact, any avionics shop that does radar installations can test
the gyro on a tilt table with it hooked up to your RDR 1200 and you'll find out
quickly where the problem really is. I had my setup tested just this way and
it took only about an hour, with most of the time spent for R&R of the radome
and gyro. I found it very educational.

Is there any way to bench test for failure of the expensive cavity tube
in a Narco AT-50A transponder? Two units here show overheating in the
area of the 2N6109 transistors (the two green TO-220 transistors). It
would be nice to know if the tubes are gone before investing in the
maintenance manual or professional testing.
Another way of asking this might be - has anyone brought their unit back
to life by replacing those burned/failed components around the 2N6109
transistors?
thank you

Thanks Dan,
I heard the same concerns from other users - I removed the unit, my tray was
set back about 1/32 from the panel. Moved it forward and reseated the unit
and tightenned it well, I heard that they had designed a new tray and some
have replaced the tray?
All is working well again. I know what you mean about user friendly, but

Some things to check:
Most non-engineers describe "hum" as a low frequency audio noise that is an octave
of so lower than middle C. It is usually 60 Hz or 120 Hz noise that comes
from a commercial power source. That would be very unusual in a light airplane.
But at an airport with big mercury lights, perhaps.
If what you hear is a higher frequency it could be originating in your generator
or alternator. The test is to move the throttle and report that the tone of
the noise changes. Alternators run about 400 Hz which would sound like an A.
It's possible for a nearby aircraft to be transmitting because of leakage in the
local oscillator of it's receiver. That kind of thing is pretty rare unless
the radio has been subjected to unprofessional servicing. You would notice it
and remember the aircraft involved. Or do you mean that that other aircraft is
deliberately transmitting?
I have seen cases in which the aircraft antenna is broken and works only when forward
airspeed makes it bend and effectively connect the fine copper tape inside
of the fiberglass tube that is the antenna. I don't see how that would generate
"hum" though. Perhaps noise because of some automatic gain control though,
In short, you need to be more explicit about your problem.

I would say that the "hum" that I am hearing is about one octave below middle C.
It sounds a lot like the noise that you hear when folks are having trouble with
feedback with a microphone in a nightclub. I doubt very much that it is from
some noise source on the ground. Maybe it is being generated from something
in my aircraft that I do not hear while in the air. I also don't think that it
is from a bad connection in my antenna since I do not hear it at all on the
ground when I am on the grass strip that I operate from.

I have never played with an Icom IC-A24 but I suspect that it has an automatic
squelch scheme that is supposed to turn off received audio until there is a sufficiently
large signal coming in on the selected frequency.
If the squelch is set too low it's conceivable that it works properly at your home
base where there may be only a tiny bit of RF activity in the neighborhood.
On a large airport there may be a lot of transmitters such as ILS equipment
or radar that are "breaking squelch". That kind of noise would not usually
get described as hum. But ILS and VOR use low audio frequency modulation tones
that might come thru.
If your receiver has a squelch control you might need to adjust it differently.
If it doesn't there is probably an internal adjustment that could be mucked with
but somewhere it will say that needs to be done by a man with a radio license.
It isn't true though so long as you don't tune the transmitter.
Someone on this list probably knows about that particular radio.
OK on grass strip plus NG on a big taxiway seems to rule out something in your
aircraft power system.

Had strange occurrence with Salt Lake Approach yesterday. Initially,

Then they said they could see a 1200 code from it, not the 0363
assigned that I had dialed in. A bit later they saw the correct code,
and it continued to be okay until out of their airspace. Now I
departed the Phoenix area the day before, communicating with 2 radar

giving me radar traffic callouts, so I know it was working. Not sure
how a transponder could possibly put out a 1200 code when set to
something else, and then revert to sending the selected code. I could
see one or two digits being wrong, but the whole code? I could only
think they had a weak signal, but checked after I landed and antenna
was clean. I guess I can check the coax connection, and reseat the
unit in its tray, but would rather not have to spend for an

been rock solid since it was aligned 8 yrs ago, passing every biennial

I had something similar happen to me only a few weeks ago arriving at
Lancaster, PA. I was on a discrete code from prior flight following services
and the tower said I was squawking 1200. A quick right turn followed by a
look down revealed a VERY close VFR aircraft underneath me on my exact
original course which was the runway heading for a straight in to the
active. Was he blanketing my signal in some manner? unknown. Once I had
diverged a bit the tower began seeing my signal and correct discrete code.
I wonder how long we had been flying in "un-intentional formation"?

Another + for it being an ATC problem. One of my neighbors used to fly
all over the central & southeast USA, & whenever he (and others) would
fly through Memphis airspace ATC would tell them that their transponder
wasn't working properly (no altitude, incorrect altitude, etc etc). The
various transponders seemed to work fine around other class B/C
airspace, & all had problems whenever they entered Memphis airspace.

Kelly,
The reason I asked is that, down here in AU, we have seen some interesting problems
with early King transponders, including transmitting codes other than that
selected, and incorrect Mode C replies.
Some are now subject to to an AD, which effectively means replacement, but I have
not heard of any similar problems with Narco.

Mode A and mode C are distinguished by a time spacing between pulses received in
the interrogation from the ground. Mode A inserts twelve bits as entered into
you code selector. Mode C sends twelve bits of altitude information. There
is also a mode B for which the details are "protected" by the US military.
Those settings, in an AT50 are set with analog adjustments inside your transponder
and might well have drifted out of spec. If you're sending mode C information
in response to a mode A request the ground will get a code they don't expect.
It might also look intermittent because it could depend on the received signal
amplitude of the interrogation pulses. (How far away is the transmitter?)
Ant at one time there was an AD that required transponders to reply to mode C requests
even if they had altitude responding turned off. Reason: collision warning
detectors is other aircraft. I believe the AT50 was one of those that was
considered not worth making the modification to. That is from long term memory
though and may not be quite right. Watch out, though, if you ask for a bench
test. You might discover you have an illegal transponder. I'm pretty sure
there was an AT-50A that came out.

Yes, your suspicion was correct, re the alignment. It was a bit out of
spec. Once adjusted back in spec, it tested perfectly both on the bench
and in the aircraft. Yes, there is an AT50A, which I think has more
output power, but otherwise is pretty much the same box, and they are
interchangeable, like all Narco units...same tray, same pins, etc.

Only an allen wrench to crank the unit out of the tray. A 430 has a locking
leg on the bottom of the unit that pulls it in and pushes it out of the
tray. Depending on the clearance in your stack you can see it just left of
center on the bottom and there is a small diameter hole in the unit where
the allen fits. It's about 3" below the face to the release mechanism.

Can you tell me if there is a way to program the Garmin GNC 430 so that
the Ground Speed will read out in miles per hour instead of knots?

Folks,
I have two VOR/GS/LOC radios
1. Apollo (now Garmin) SL-30
2. Narco NAV122D/GPS
Attached to a Comant CI-182 dual whisker antenna mounted on top ov my VS in my
RV6A.
The Narco requires a diplexer which is installed and there is aCoax T-Connectorbefore
the diplexer as the SL-30 doesn't need to be seperated.
Recently, I was doing some practice work for my IFR training - holds at an intercept
- requiring two VOR's. Consistently, the SL-30 can pick up either station
while the NAV122D is flaky with both stations - but eventually will bring me
to the intercept point.
I'm gonna guess it's not the antenna - as the SL-30 brings it in fine.
My thoughts go to three possible culprits.....the T-Connector, the diplexer, or
the radio...question is, how to tell which one?
Getting the Narco repaired will bring the "Mission Impossible" theme song in the
background - with Narco recently going under.
The diplexer is probably easily replaceable for just a few bucks as well as replacing
the T-Connector with a Comant splitter (CI-5120).
Any opinions out there? I would really rather not replace the radio if the other
items may really be the culprit......and I will probably need both VOR's to
finish my IFR training and take my checkride.
Thanks in advance!

You might try hooking the SL-30 to the LOC output of the diplexer. You won't have
GS but re-flying your practice holds should let you evaluate if the signal
getting to the Narco is degraded. You can use the SL-30 standby freq and obs for
the 2nd Nav. The SL-30 is a great radio and routinely locks on stations 10-20nm
(at ~100nm) before my 430W. The split for my 430W is done the same way as
yours, a diplexer and T-connector.

Hello Ralph, You wrote: "and I will probably need both VOR's to finish my
IFR training and take my checkride."
I am puzzled by your problem. Since the SL-30 has simultaneous dual VOR
capability (providing radial information from one VOR to an external CDI to
track along and cross track radial information from a different VOR on the
face of the SL-30) why would you need to use the Narco NAV122D/GPS to get
information from a third VOR?
Do you lack a separate CDI for the SL-30 to feed or are you unable to feed
the CDI of the Narco unit with the SL-30 as described here?
"The NAV 122D/GPS is the same as the NAV 122D except it will include a
resolver, thus having the additional capability of being utilized as the
required "Left/Right Indicator", in IFR approved GPS or multi-sensor systems
installations."
'OC' Baker Says: "The best investment we can make is the time and effort to
gather and understand knowledge."
PS: I think that it was grossly misleading for Narco to attach the GPS
designation to their unit because it has absolutely no GPS capability, but
only provides a CDI to be fed in case a separate GPS or other sensor is
installed in the aircraft. See here:

Jake,
Good info on the Narco antenna impedance issues - and it could be an inexpensive
solution putting in a real splitter instead of the T-connector.
Thanks,

very suseptible to impedance issues on the antenna... where as the Garmin is
not. But there is a CI splitter that has a dual VOR/GS/LOC output where the VOR
has all the information on it the SL30 would need. The T is more than likely
causing some issues in your reception... and there are still a few shops that
will still work on a 122D (even if self destruct sequence is activated).

Thanks OC!
Yes, the SL-30 can do that - I just need to read the manual - good reminder!
I do have it set up to act as a backup CDI - not as a primary head to a second
NAV radio though...makes me rethink my panel strategy....
I'll start with re-reading the SL-30 manual for the dual capability.

Remember that some of us are old enough to have taken our instrument
check rides with a single nav-com and ADF(no, I'm not old enough to have
used a 4 course AN range). Need a crossing radial? Better be fast on
dialing between frequencies and identifying. The SL-30 feature of
showing you the radial from the standby VOR is really all you
need..just get familiar with activating that feature.

Strong!!
Dear Listers,
This year marks 21 years of the Email Lists and Forums at Matronics! I've been
running these forums for nearly half my life! I've made some great friends over
the years and had countless email and personal conversations with builders
about aircraft building and flying. What a great community of people! The advice,
support, and friendship has be invaluable over the years.
To support the continued operation and upgrade of the List servers, each November
I hold a PBS-like fund raiser. It is solely through the Contributions of List
members that these Matronics Lists are possible. There is NO advertising
to support the Lists. You might have noticed the conspicuous lack of flashing
banners and annoying pop-ups on the Matronics Email List email messages and web
site pages including:
* Matronics List Forums http://forums.matronics.com
* Matronics List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search
* Matronics List Browser http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse
* Matronics List List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com
You don't find advertising on any of these pages because I believe in a List experience
that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - airplanes!
During the month of November, I will be sending out List messages every couple
of days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular
messages. The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these Lists. Your personal Contribution
counts!
Once again, this year we've got another terrific line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. Many of these gifts have been provided
by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on Matronics Lists
and they have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous people include:
* Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
* Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
These are extremely generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective
web sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful aviation-related product
line. I would like publicly to thank Bob, and Andy for their generous support
of the Lists again this year!!
You can make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure site below:

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!

There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

public access methods, there is no simple way to filter them.]

| Subject: | What's Your Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some pointd, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for over 21 years (yeah, I really
said *21* years) worth of on line archive data available for instant search
and access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining
the custom applications that power this List Service such as the List
Browse, Search Engine, Forums, and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these aspects of Matronics List services.
Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of the
best investments you can make in your Sport!

And you move the tang by inserting a small allen wrench (sorry; don't
recall the exact size) in that small hole you see at the bottom-center
of the front panel. Turn counter-clockwise until it stops; you might
notice the 430 backing out of the panel slightly as you turn the allen
head screw.

Use a 3/32" Allen wrench with care - it's a retainer, not a jack screw.
Too much enthusiasm will bend the tray and jam things up. When you
release the initial clamp-up tension, you'll get 2 or 3 relatively free
turns, then meet more resistance. That's your clue to use fingers in
addition to the Allen wrench to coax the radio out of the tray.
Same exercise when putting it back in. Position the locking lug by
turning the Allen wrench counter-clockwise, then slide the radio into
the tray - gently - make sure things are lined up in the back as it
begins to seat. When the radio stops, begin to tighten the Allen wrench
while continuing to push the radio home. When things stop moving
easily, it's time to stop tightening the retainer. Resist the urge to
cinch it down.

If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Arn't the Lists worth at
least that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that same amount
and get a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses?
Come to think of it, you do...

| Subject: | Contributions Down By 20%... |
Dear Listers,
As of today, Contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind
last year at this time by roughly 20%. I have a Fund Raiser each year simply
to cover my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising
income to support the Lists and rely solely on the Contributions of members to
keep the expenses paid.
I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet
connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I
also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related
data so that in the event of a server crash, all of the Lists and the many
years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a matter of
hours.
All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of
my personal time. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs and I
ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments make a
modest Contribution each year to support the continued operation and upgrade of
these services.
If you enjoy the Lists, please make a Contribution today. I also offer some incentive
gifts for larger Contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Site, you
can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the
continuation of these services:

Dear Listers,
web services have been fully restored including the Web Forums, List Browse,
Archive Search, Wiki, and AeroElectric web sites. It was quite an ordeal getting
the replacement boards for the server, but things went back together tonight
and are up and running nicely. The first company I ordered the boards from
originally called me a day later to say that, whoops, they really didn't have
them in stock after all... Fortunately, I was able to locate some through
a different source and had then over-nighted and they arrived today.
Thank you for your patience and consideration though the whole thing!
The List Contribution web site is also back on line for those wishing to make a
donation to the effort:

Jim...those are instant messengers (IM)...if you don't belong to
any of them, then you don't have...or need.. to enter your IM
identification numbers there. Personally, I'm was only an ICQ
user, but have since dropped that.
As far as a signature, that is just something that is
automatically added at the end of your email or messages. You
can add that if you want to include stuff like your company,
plane type, etc...personally, I don't do that either, as I may
want to use a different sign out for different groups, so I
always enter it manually...like this:

You only need to enter that information if you want to and if you have it.
I, for instance have an ICQ number, but did not enter it. You don't have

Hello All.
Today flying my KF Vixen 912UL I developed a radio transmit noise. As soon as I
pressed the PTT (on either stick) there is a solid sharp buzzing sound in the
headsets. almost like something is shorting out. Other a/c and the tower could
understand the transmission OK but the tower said it sounded "hollow, like I
was talking from inside a can". This is a very recent development. The radio
is a 18 month old ICOM A210.
I will start checking things on my own but just wondering if I could tap into this
wealth of knowledge before I start buggering things up.
I was using the built in intercom. Forgot to try with it disabled.
Have a great News Years everyone. Drive a FLY safe!
Cheers
Don

Easy stuff is to make sure the other headset isn't plugged in (if
there's no head in the headset), and as you mentioned, go direct into
the radio, bypassing the intercom. Most intercoms can be taken out of
the circuit by just turning them off.
Make sure that your volume & gain settings haven't changed, also.

Essentially, it's supposed to support this feature (bypassing the vor/loc converter)
but I can't find a pinout that lists how to get this signal...
I'm trying to figure out how to hook up a CDI that takes composite input, as the
only ones that don't are the really expensive Collins and King models.

| Subject: | Narco AT-165 Transponder wiring question |
I recently purchased a nice used Narco AT-165 transponder from a third party. Luckily,
it came with a harness. Unfortunately, it did not come with installation
instructions. The harness has a 23 pin connector on the transponder side and
a 15 pin connector on the altitude reporter side. Three heavier wires (I believe
16 ga.) are cut to about 4 inches in length, coming out of the 23 pin connector.
I am assuming these are the power leads, red (+14V), black (Grnd), and
yellow (?). That's my question; what should this yellow wire attach to? It comes
out of pin #12 on the connector. I can't seem to find any wiring instructions
on the internet for this 23 pin transponder.
________________________________________________________________________________
| From: | "Stan" <swperk(at)earthlink.net> |
| Subject: | Narco AT-165 Transponder wiring question |
Traditional avionics color coding makes the red wire power, the black
wire ground, and the yellow wire the dimmer.
Here=99s a link to the AT-165 installation manual. It says that
pin 5 is +13.75 V input, pin 11 is the 14 V dimmer, and pin 12 is
ground. Perhaps the yellow wire is going to pin 11 instead of pin 12?
And I think it may be a 24-pin edge connector, with 12 pins on each
side.
Hope this helps you get everything sorted out!

Narco did one thing right. All of their transponders use the same tray
and pin connections. So pinout for AT50 or 150 will work.

Transponder wiring question
After further investigation, I found out that Narco made several
models of the AT-165 Transponder as either a new installation (AT-165)
or as a King KT-76 slide-in replacement (AT-165K) or as a Cessna
RT-359/459 slide in replacement (AT-165C). Turns out the unit I have
is the AT-165C model. It does, for sure, have a 23 pin connector just
like the old Cessna Transponder. After finding this out, I was able
to determine that the 16ga. yellow wire from pin #12 was, indeed, for
lighting. Thanks fella's!

I had this experience with my Dynon EFIS. I had a major delay in my building project
(like 4 years) and when I got back to it my EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument
System) battery pack was beyond resuscitation. The replacement battery
pack was listed at $125. So I took the shrink wrap off the pack which revealed
4 batteries soldered together with some mini electronic parts (possible diodes?)
included in the wiring. Very carefully, I took the pack apart, examined the
batteries and looked them up on the web. I bought a pack of 6 just incase of
a screw up, used silver solder to put it back together and it works and charges
just fine, Cost w/ shipping about $36.

Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a "Portable transponder".
I have a small antique airplane with no electrical system & would often
like to have a transponder but I don't really want to add a small
battery. I don't mind adding the small transponder type antenna. I am
trying to find out if there is a transponder out there powered by it's
own rechargeable batteries - like a handheld comm radio or a portable
GPS. Any info here would be very appreciated. Thanks. Johnny

Hello John, See this web site:
http://www.kinetic.co.uk/last.php
Note that a true portable transponder for use in the U. S may be a real
tough problem to solve because of the TSO requirements. Also note the
requirements of 14 CFR 91.413.

Subject: AeroElectric-List: Transponder
Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a "Portable transponder".
I have a small antique airplane with no electrical system & would often
like to have a transponder but I don't really want to add a small
battery. I don't mind adding the small transponder type antenna. I am
trying to find out if there is a transponder out there powered by it's
own rechargeable batteries - like a handheld comm radio or a portable
GPS. Any info here would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Johnny

I would suggest to use an external antenna with a good groundplane.
It doubt the VSWR is very good the way when it is directly connected
(however Trig products will give an error when the VSWR is very high).
Another point to think of is the high peak power that a transponder is
transmitting (about 125 or 250 Watt depending on class) The pulse
duration is only short, lowering the average power. My transponder test
equipement suggest to take a distance of at least to meter to reduce
field strength your exposed to during transponder field testing.
When
the antenna is directly on the unit you will be likely close to the
antenna. Some scientist say that exposure to high level RF fields is not
dangerous, while other doubt this, I think it is better to take some
distance from the antenna to reduce the field strength at your seating
position.

Hello Noel Loveys, Thank you for your inputs on this subject, but in the
interest of stamping out hearsay, gossip, and rumors regarding experimental
amateur built aircraft I'd like to point out that some of your comments are
just not applicable in the USA.
The following statements that you wrote are not correct in the USA:
1) "In that case if even on an OBAM aircraft the ELT and transponder must be
installed or signed off by a certified AME (Canada) or A&P (U.S.)"
2) "One of the things I do not like about the new ELT is that aircraft
cannot
borrow another ELT while one is out having scheduled service done."
3) "...so they wouldn't have to fly without one... Which is legal for up to
90
days."
Note that the regulatory requirements for having an ELT in a US registered
civil aircraft operating in the US, and the circumstances permitted for
flying without an ELT installed, are contained in 14 CFR 91.207. That
section is too long and complicated to be copied, or even extracted in this
posting. It may be accessed here:
http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=e13e8f64d66f124a79dbd562cbe93f0b&rgn=div8&view=text&node=14:2.0.1.3.10.3.7.4&idno=14
4) "In fact even a licensed AME is not allowed to change the batteries on an
ELT
it has to be done by an approved Avionics tech or an approved avionics
shop."
5) "Amateur built aircraft are another quintal of fish... They don't even
have
to carry an ELT."
They do in the USA in accordance with 14 CFR 91.207.
Thanks for your help in posting accuracy.

The minimum for use of ELTs is to demonstrate that the complete system meets
the TSO. Good luck with doing that with a roll your own antenna of unknown

must comply with the TSO.

In this country any appliance on a certified aircraft with certain

appliance.
One of the things I do not like about the new ELT is that aircraft cannot
borrow another ELT while one is out having scheduled service done. In the
past the AMO I worked for had a "loaner" ELT that we would put in aircraft
so they wouldn't have to fly without one... Which is legal for up to 90

Hello Noel, Thank you for your most courteous reply. You wrote: "New 406
mHz. ELTs are identified to specific aircraft in specific configuration."
This is a very important point that you make. Each of those ELT's is also
identified to a specific Owner/Operator of that specific aircraft and to a
specific Primary and Alternate 24-Hour Emergency Contact associated with
that specific ELT and aircraft along with communication information for all
of those individuals. See here:
http://www.nmea.org/Assets/elt%20406%20registration%20and%20renewal.pdf
The purpose of that contact information is to permit rapid communication
with one of those individuals should an emergency signal be received by a
satellite to confirm that the signal is not a false alarm.
Also note that it is possible on that form to submit a Change of ELT
Information or Ownership and to do it fairly quickly online at:
www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov
This would permit a fairly flexible and timely means of swapping a 406 Mhz
ELT from one aircraft to another if that became a need and one complied with
all provisions of the registration requirements.

| Subject: | Garmin GMA 240 Fail-Safe Question |
I posted this on the AeroElectric List but the silence was deafening (except for
the continuous off-topic political arguing).
Can someone with actual hands-on experience with the Garmin GMA 240 Audio Panel
answer this question, please? Is the volume of the "Failsafe Warning Audio"
(P2402 pin 29) controllable or is it fixed?
The installation manual implies it's useful for an audio input that will be
audible in the pilot headset even if power is removed. It seems like an obvious
choice for my Dynon Skyview EFIS warning audio but not if the audio level is
not acceptable and cannot be set. In that case, one of the ALERT, AUX, or even
NAV audio inputs would work better -- except in the case of power failure.
Or maybe it's wired in parallel with one of the other inputs to provide an
adjustable level under normal conditions and some arbitrary level after a power
failure.
Has anyone used this feature?
Thanks,

| Subject: | KI 209A and Century I Problems |
I have a Grumman in my shop with a Century 1 autopilot that derives its
left/right input from a KI204 or a KI209A via a 4P3T switch. The KI209A
can be switched to act as a GPS CDI from a KLN94 or as a VOR CDI.
The owner says that when the autopilot is connected to Nav 1
(KX170/KI204) it captures the radial just fine with a minimum number of
overshoots. When it's connected to Nav 2 (KX170 or GPS/KI208A), it
continually S-turns across the radial (or course line supplied by the
GPS). The owner had the 209A/KLN 94 installed about 2 years ago and he
says it never worked right from the time was installed (I'll not go into
why he didn't just take it back to them ...).
Both VOR systems indicate the appropriate course deflection when checked
with a flightline tester. When the 209A is set for GPS mode, it
displays the appropriate deflection during GPS self test (1/2 right).
I checked the wiring and switch - there is continuity between the
autopilot output of each CDI to the autopilot Left/Right input when
switched in and are open when switched out. Each of the wires are
appropriately open to ground, and there is no continuity between them.
Both CDIs put out 150mV at full scale, 75 mV at half scale, etc. The
209A also puts out the right deflection voltage when switched to GPS mode.
The only difference I noticed: The Left/Right reference voltage out of
the 209A is about 4.15 V (appropriate per the 209A maint manual), but
the reference out of the 204 is around 350mV. I could find no mention
of the reference voltage in the 204 maint manual.
The 209A manual says that the output is designed for a 1Kohm load. The
Century install manual says the input to the autopilot presents no load.
SO ... do I have a problem with one of the indicators? Do I need to
load the output of the 209A in some way? Or is there some other problem?
Thanks,
Chuck

A common misconception. Yes you built your aircraft. That does not make
you a "manufacturer" in the terms of these regulations.
You need the transponder certified by someone with a repair station
license. There is no certification of the pitot system, only the static
system. The only reason the pitot is connected to the test is to protect
your airspeed indicator from an excessive pressure difference with the
static port.
You can leak test your static system if you ever need to open it between
the required certifications, and that is legal, but the certification
must be done by an appropriately rated repair station.

Hello Ralph Capen, Kelly McMullen has given you some good words on this
subject, but I would like to clarify one point.
Kelly wrote: "You can leak test your static system if you ever need to open
it between
the required certifications, and that is legal, ......"
This is true only if you meet one of the qualification requirements listed
in paragraph 91.411 (b). See a copy of that paragraph below:
"91.411 Altimeter system and altitude reporting equipment tests and
inspections.
(a) No person may operate an airplane, or helicopter, in controlled airspace
under IFR unless-
(1) Within the preceding 24 calendar months, each static pressure system,
each altimeter instrument, and each automatic pressure altitude reporting
system has been tested and inspected and found to comply with appendices E
and F of part 43 of this chapter;
(2) Except for the use of system drain and alternate static pressure valves,
following any opening and closing of the static pressure system, that system
has been tested and inspected and found to comply with paragraph (a),
appendix E, of part 43 of this chapter; and
(3) Following installation or maintenance on the automatic pressure altitude
reporting system of the ATC transponder where data correspondence error
could be introduced, the integrated system has been tested, inspected, and
found to comply with paragraph (c), appendix E, of part 43 of this chapter.
(b) The tests required by paragraph (a) of this section must be conducted
by-
(1) The manufacturer of the airplane, or helicopter, on which the tests and
inspections are to be performed;
(2) A certificated repair station properly equipped to perform those
functions and holding-
(i) An instrument rating, Class I;
(ii) A limited instrument rating appropriate to the make and model of
appliance to be tested;
(iii) A limited rating appropriate to the test to be performed;
(iv) An airframe rating appropriate to the airplane, or helicopter, to be
tested; or
(3) A certificated mechanic with an airframe rating (static pressure system
tests and inspections only)."
Note that holding only a Repairman's Certificate for a specific experimental
amateur built aircraft is not listed as one of the persons qualified to
perform static pressure system tests and inspections (in order to detect a
leak) on the aircraft that he is rated for.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this subject.
'OC' Baker Says: "The best investment we can make is the time and effort to
gather and understand knowledge."
PS: It is possible that some FAA employee has given the OK for some
Repairman to perform a static pressure system leak test on his experimental
amateur built aircraft, but that does not constitute a universal change the
regulation.
Besides what equipment and test performance criteria would the Repairman use
to determine whether or not he had an acceptable leak? Hint: The answer to
this question can be found in the Matronics aeroelectric list archives.

It is an M20S with Cont 550 and gear driven alternator. The first regulator lasted
only a couple of years before giving up the ghost and the replacement was
a special from Mooney.
My first line of thinking is to locate the regulator and test it. Nobody knows
where it is hiding.
(I'm in DC - the plane is in DE...I'll be home next weekend to help more.)
Meanwhile, does anyone have an electronic copy of the Light Plane Maintenance article
on troubleshooting alternators...and the Mooney M20S maintenance manual?
If we can find it, I'm hoping that we can determine if the regulator is the culprit.
Thanks in advance,
Ralph

Let me start by saying I'm the village idiot when it comes to radios so hopefully
someone can point out the obvious problem to me. I'm trying to use my handheld
(Vertex VXA 150) along with a set of Peltor 7004 headsets to communicate
from my Kitfox. On the ground with the engine off everyone around the airport
hears me fine. Once the engine is started everyone complains about background
noise or static when I transmit. A FOB unicom can just barely hear me from
5 miles out. I receive fine in flight. The radio is not wired into the aircraft
power, I'm using the radio's battery. It is the same for both the rubber
ducky antenna and the external aircraft mounted antenna. The headset works
fine in other aircraft. I'm wondering if the headset is picking up too much
background noise ?
thanks, EG

Most likely - The microphone should be touching your lips, and there are
mic shrouds available with a hole pointing to the speaker, and a covered
back to reject other sound sources. (Wind, engine noise.)

Eg
On my older icom if I press the transmit switch on the radio it also
transmits all the noise from the radio mic as well as from my headset
mic. That is same symptoms as you seem to have. The only way to use it
in flight without all the noise is to plug in an optional remote
transmit switch which then only transmits from my headset mic. Think the
icom switch was around $20. from Spruce.

| Subject: | PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List Fund Raiser During November! |
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's through solely
through the Contributions of List members that these Matronics Lists are
possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. Your personal Contribution
counts!
Once again, this year I've got a terrific line up of free gifts to go along with
the various Contribution levels. Most all of these gifts have been provided
by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on Matronics Lists and
have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous people include:
Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP http://www.homebuilthelp.com
These are very generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective web
sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful aviation-related product line.
I would like publicly to thank Bob, Andy, and Jon for their generous support
of the Lists again this year!!
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure site:

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
Thank you for your support!

I will add my voice to this suggestion. It's
easy to enjoy the benefits of what's available to us
off-the-shelves at the corner mega-marts. It's
seldom that we give pause to learn and understand the
processes and tools that made it possible to reach out
and select from dozens of options.
This, and all civil societies, runs on talent, energy
and mobility. Mobility exploited by thousands of hands,
machines and transportation that figure into the
'infrastructure' that puts the boxes of Wheaties and
Pop Tarts on the shelves.
See "I pencil" http://tinyurl.com/36xkhq
Any break in that chain of time, talent and resources
at least interrupts if not totally halts flow of
that benefit. Matt's room full of byte-thrashers is
like the natural gas pumping station a few miles from
my house. If those pumps stop, who ever is expecting
the furnace to come on at the other end of the pipe
is at risk for reduced service and/or higher costs
for that service.
Matt's yearly endeavor to keep his pumps running is
a trivial burden on the members of the Lists
but of incalculable value to those who participate
on them. No donation is too small.
We go to a fly-in a willingly chuck a few bucks into
the coffee can at the drinks and donuts table, let's
chuck a few bucks into Matt's coffee can too. 50,000
pounds of value doesn't get to the shelves on time
if one 18-wheeler runs out of gas. The T-bytes of
data flow we all enjoy don't get from your keyboard
to the screens of others unless Matt pays the light
bill and strokes the machines to keep them happy.
No, $5 won't get you a free copy of the 'Connection
or a fuel sampler but it will go toward the assurance
that logging onto your favorite List will open
doors that you would be sorely missed should you find
that hitting the return key doesn't produce the
expected response.
$5 from every List customer on Matt's system will
go a very long way to keeping the byte-pumps running.
$More$ will go a long way to upgrading the size
and quality of the machines as the old ones get
long in the tooth. No matter what size of donation
you choose . . . please do it now . . .
Bob . . .

| Subject: | Make A List Contribution - It's Your Personal Squelch Button... |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some pointd, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for the over 22 years of on-line
archive data always available for instant search and access. And, it offsets
the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications
that power these List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, Forums,
and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables all these aspects of Matronics List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of
the best investments you can make in your Sport!

| Subject: | Who is Matt Dralle & What Are The Lists? |
Dear Listers,
Who is Matt Dralle and what exactly are these Lists anyway? I've been working
in the Information Technology industry for over 28 years, primarily in computer
networking design and implementation and more recently as an embedded software
engineer. I have also done a fair amount of work in web design and development.
I started the Matronics Email Lists way back in 1990 shortly after I started building
my RV-4 with about 30 fellow RV builders from around the world. Since
that time, I have added many other types of aircraft related Lists to the line
up and numerous other List related services such as the Forums, Wiki, Archives
and Search Engine just to name a few.
For flexibility and reliability, I have chosen to run all of my own servers locally.
Other List-related systems include a 1 Gigabit, fully switched network
infrastructure, a commercial-grade Netscreen firewall, a Barracuda spam filter,
a local T1 Internet router, and a bonded dual T1 commercial-grade business Internet
connection with full static addressing.
The computer servers include a dual quad-core Linux server for List web services
with 24GB of memory, a quad -core Linux system dedicated to the email processing
List functions, and another standalone Linux system serving as a remote storage
disk farm for the archives, databases, and for an on-line hard drive-based
backup system with multi-terra byts of online storage. This entire system
is protected by three large, commercial-grade uninterrupted power supply systems
(UPS) that assure the Lists are available even during a local power outage!
Speaking of power, imagine how much electricity it takes to run all of these
systems. On the average, the elctric bill is in the neighborhood of $7000-$8000/yr
and the newly upgraded dual-T1 Internet connection runs roughly $6000/yr.
A while back, I upgraded all of the computer racking infrastructure including new
power feeds and dedicated air conditioning for the room that serves as the
Computer Center for the Matronics Email Lists and followed that upgrade up with
a second rack upgrade to house the MONSTER web system that didn't quite fit
into the first rack! Here's a composite photo of the List Computer Center prior
to the addition of the second rack:
http://www.matronics.com/MattDralle-ListComputerCenter.jpg
As you can see, I take running these Lists very seriously and I am dedicated to
providing an always-on, 24x7x365 experience for each and every Lister.
But building and running this system isn't cheap. As I've mentioned many times
before, I don't use commercial advertisments to support any of these systems.
It is supported 100% through List member Contributions! That means you...
and you... and YOU!
To that end, I hold a List Fund Raiser each November and ask that members make
a Contribution to support the continued operation and upgrade of this ever-expanding
system. Its solely YOUR Contributions that keeps it running!

| Subject: | "Black Friday" For List Fund Raiser...? |
Dear Listers,
The number of List subscriptions are up by a fair amount this year, but support
during this year's Fund Raiser is substantially behind last year, and there's
only about a week left until the end of the Fund Raiser. I have always preferred
a non-commercial List experience as many, many members have also expressed
that they do as well. However, if the yearly fund raiser cannot generate sufficient
funds to keep the bills paid, other sources of income might be required
including some sort of advertising. Please don't let that happen! Your personal
Contribution of $20 or $30 goes a long ways to keeping this operation a
float.

There is less than a week left in this year's List Fund Raiser and only a few short
days to grab one of the great Contribution Gifts available this year. Support
is still significantly lagging behind last year at this point but hopefully
it will pick up here towards the end. Please remember that it is solely the
Contributions of List members that keeps the Lists up and running as there
is no commercialism or advertising on the Matronics Lists and Forums.
The List Contribution web site is secure, fast, and easy and you can use a credit
card, Paypal, or a personal check:

| Subject: | Contributions Down By 23%... |
Dear Listers,
As of today, Contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind
last year at this time by roughly 23%. I have a Fund Raiser each year simply
to cover my operating
costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising income to support the Lists
and rely solely on the Contributions of members to keep the expenses paid.
I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet
connection is a commercial-grade, dual T1 connection with public address space.
I also maintain a full
backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related data so that in the
event of a server crash, all of the Lists and the many years of List archive
data could be restored
onto a new server in a matter of hours.
All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of
my personal time. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs and I
ask that members that
feel they receive a benefit from my investments make a modest Contribution each
year to support the continued operation and upgrade of these services.
If you enjoy the Lists, please make a Contribution today. I also offer some incentive
gifts for larger Contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Site, you
can use a credit card,
Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the continuation of these services:

Dear Listers,
There are just two more days left in this years List Fund Raiser. Over the last
couple of weeks I have received some more really nice comments from members
on what the Lists have meant to them. I have included a few more of them below.
Please read over the comments and ponder on your own feelings about the Lists
and the support and camaraderie you have found here.
We are still behind last year in terms of the number of contributions. I really
want to keep providing these services to the homebuilt community, but it take
resources. Since there's no advertising budget or deep pockets to keep the
operation a float, its solely your generosity during the Fund Raiser that keeps
things going. Please make a Contribution today.
If you've been putting off showing your support for the Lists, now is the time
to do it!

over 300 hrs of use.. thanks to your Kolb bulletin board.

working without a resource like this list.

| Subject: | ANR headset feedback |
| From: | "Airmarty2" <marty_away(at)hotmail.com> |
Have a new RV-7 and upgraded to ANR headsets. (Running through a Garmin 240 and
SL40 radio.) Trying to broadcast gets a side tone (which broadcasts) as soon
as I hit the PTT. Hadn't noticed the problem until started taking passengers
in the airplane.
At first, it only seemed to be on the pax side, but realized it was on the pilot
side as well (which might show up depending if I have something plugged to the
pax jacks). Happens with different brands of headsets. New Sennheiser gets
the feedback when I turn on the ANR. Lightspeed G3 gets the feedback whether
the ANR is on or not.
Regular headsets work fine for both the intercom and transmission.
would like to use the new ANR headsets; any ideas where to look for a problem?

I've just experienced the third screen failure (illuminates but no characters or

was $653 which had to be shipped through an avionics shop as Garmin no longer
deals direct with OBAM users. I am disinclined to invest any more dollars
in what is an unreliable design. Any other users have a similar experience?

Has anyone successfully installed a Microair T2000SFL-01rev8 transponder
combined with their EC2002-01rev3 encoder, using serial connection?
The manual for the xp rev8 at
> http://www.microair.com.au/admin/uploads/documents/T2000SFLInstallationManual01R80.pdf
shows *2* data lines between the components: encoder pin6data receive to
xp pin 5data transmit, and encoder pin 7data transmit to xp pin 4data
receive. *But*... note 7 on the hookup page (pg 13) says that the
diagram is applicable to revs 5,6, & 7.
I can't find an install manual for the 01rev3 encoder on their web site,
but the manual for the 01rev12 shows pin 6 of the encoder (labeled
rs232in) as unconnected.
However....
Looking at the page on their pre-wired harnesses at
http://www.microair.com.au/index.aspx?page=186&productID=36
The diagram for wiring their xp to their encoder shows encoder pin 6
(data receive) to be *grounded*.
So, various docs on the Microair website show the encoder pin 6 to be:
open, tied to transponder pin 5, and grounded (through the harness) to
the case of the transponder.
Anyone have any words of wisdom on the *right* way to do it?
Thanks,

If you are referring to the tray mounted coax connector which is typically a
TED brand connector like is used on most tray mount avionics of that
generation, you can probably use the Deklin DBA-600. It mounts to the tray
the same way (cir-clip) but has a BNC on the other end so you don't have to
try to solder the coax on which is a challenge.

| Subject: | Vision Microsystems VMS 1000C |
In my RV-6 which is powered by a 160 HP Lycoming O-320 I have a Vision
Microsystems VMS 1000C. On Sunday the 7th July it worked flawlessly but
on Saturday the 13th of July it unfortunately did not work. I have not
used it between these dates.
The problem with my VMS 1000C is that it displays *Err* on the readings
for *MAN*, *OIL PSI*, *FUEL SYS PSI*, *FUEL QTY* *L* and *FUEL QTY **R*.
Furthermore the readings for *OIL TEMP* and *CHT *seem suspect. *OIL
TEMP* showed some 370 even though I have not run the engine for a week.
I switched on the fuel pump but that did not give any fuel pressure
reading. As for the fuel level, the tanks are approximately one third
full. Their capacity is 19 US gal.
Do you know whether the fault lies within my VMS 1000C or with a fault
in the electrical connections? In the latter case which circuits may
need to be reconnected?
It seems to me that Vision Microsystems is defunct and has been so for
many years.

VMS was purchased by JPI a number of years ago. Shortly after that the 'C' came
out and support for the earlier versions became more difficult to acquire.
I pulled mine and replaced it with an AFS 3400 EM which I have since upgraded to
EE. I sold my VM1000 parts one at a time to help other users keep their systems
running.

A software fault tolerant computer system includes a primary virtual machine and
a secondary virtual machine. The secondary virtual machine is operable to replicate
the primary virtual machine by replicating operations performed on the
primary virtual machine. The primary and the secondary virtual machines are further
operable to test for equivalent operation of the primary and secondary
virtual machines at predetermined stages of operation. This provides software
fault tolerance wherein both a unit of replication and a component that implements
the fault tolerance mechanisms is a virtual machine (VM). Since a VM as used
by the invention has full knowledge of the semantics of application-level
code, fault tolerance mechanisms can be provided by the VMs without requiring
any increase in application complexity. Co-ordination of replicated states and
computations is achieved with characteristics of both active and passive replication.

Personally speaking I have never been a fan of the RST products. I have
tried to find some information on this particular one and have been
unsuccessful. Is it just an intercom or an audio panel with intercom? My
recommendation is to change it with a better product (typically speaking of
RST products) with a PS Engineering intercom or audio panel.

Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are over 30 different gifts
to choose from - more than we've ever had before! There's something for everyone,
to be sure. Most all of these gifts have been provided by some of the
vary members and vendors that you'll find on the Matronics Lists and they have
been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous members include:
Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
Corbin Glowacki of My Pilot Store http://www.mypilotstore.com
George Race of Race Consulting http://www.mrrace.com/
Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP http://www.homebuilthelp.com
These are very generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective web
sites. Each one offers a unique and excellent aviation-related product line.
I would like publicly to thank Andy, Bob, Corbin, George, and Jon their generous
support of the Lists again this year!!
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:

| Subject: | Network Issues At Matronics Last Few Days... |
Dear Listers,
Starting sometime on Friday November 1st, my Internet Service Provider (ISP) began "upgrading" their Domain Name Servers (DNS). DNS servers allow the resolution of computer names such as "www.matronics.com" to real addresses such as 64.81.74.3. This also impacts email delivery as well, since there is another layer of resolution that applies to email names.
Because of this upgrade on the part of my ISP, DNS service started getting unreliable
around Friday sometime, but I didn't notice it until sometime on Saturday.
When I used a tool called "nslookup" to test the resolution of name-to-address,
about 50-75% of the time my ISP's servers would response with an "SERVFAIL"
indicating that they didn't know the answer. I opened a ticket with the
ISP on Saturday, and by Sunday afternoon I had no feedback on the ticket so I
called in to support. "We upgrading the DNS servers, and it should back by Sunday
at 5pm." 5pm came and went with no resolution.
Well, long story short by Tuesday morning things were still not fixed and in fact
much worse. So, I opted to move all my DNS service to a different service
provider. I have a lot of DNS entries, so it took a while to get everything moved
over. It generally takes about 24 hours for a change like that to fully
propagate across the Internet which would be Wednesday morning sometime. I've
noticed that the Matronics web server traffic is picking up again, so many sites
have already propagated the new information.
I really should have just moved the DNS on Saturday when I first noticed the troubles,
but with stuff like this, you just keep believing that it gonna be fixed
any minute now.... And, in fact, that's what my ISP kept telling me...
Its always a giant bummer when stuff like this happens and particularly during
the Fund Raiser. I apologize to anyone that has tried to make a Contribution
in the last few days and had issues or was simply unable to connect. By the time
you read this email, the DNS should be fully propagated, and I ask that you
please try again.

There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
>From the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that elk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.

[Dear Listers, last week, Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric fame, posted a very
nice message discussing the Lists and Forums at Matronics. It is a very insightful
piece and I asked Bob if I could forward it to the rest of the Lists for

"As most of you know, Matt's ISP was fiddling with some crucial
details for the exchange of data on the 'net a few weeks ago.
The Lists, Matt's business site, and AeroElectric.com got really
flakey. . . I was 'unhooked' from the List and all of three of
my e-mail services for several days. Out of business and out
of touch.
After two days, I was beginning to worry. I had no idea as
to root cause nor was there a time table for resolution . . .
I began to mull over plan-B options. Of course, plan-B
would have entailed seeking a new home for aeroelectric.com and
ancillary services. NOT a quick, inexpensive or happy thing to
contemplate.
The time talents and resources that go into fabrication and
maintenance of some of the 'simplest' features of our lives often
go unnoticed . . . not because they're unappreciated . . . but simply
because we're unaware of their significance.

uncountable windows of opportunity for what has
been called "spontaneous order" in the manufacture and sales
of the simple wood pencil. The point of citing Mr. Read's
essay is to examine two features of the human experience that
contribute to the success of this List and our various interests
in airplanes.
The first point I'd like to make is that we cannot know
the millions of individuals who contributed to the materials
and infrastructure that make this List possible. We sit at the
top of a pyramid of work-product derived from the time,
talents and resources of millions of people who we'll never
know.
Another feature I'd like to emphasis is our ignorance
of the criticality for any single component for a host
of materials and components for the manufacture and
sales of a simple pencil or an affordable airplane. Suppose
any one of the materials or processes described in Read's
essay were simply unavailable. How would that impact
the price of a pencil? Would the pencil even continue to
exist at it's new price? The really big question is, "How
might some seemingly small loss ripple throughout the
economy of our existence?"
The time, talent and resources that support infrastructure
for this List, my website, Matt's website, and our e-mails
cannot be accurately known. That infrastructure stands
on an exceedingly complex array of activities that arose
from the ingenuity and spontaneous organization of free-
market enterprises. But from our perch at the top of
this pyramid we need only look down a few layers and see that
this resource upon which we depend is vulnerable. There are
risks we all assume . . . Matt could get t-boned in an
intersection tomorrow. Lightning could strike the pole behind
his facility and do catastrophic damage to the hardware.
Yours truly could take a deer through the windshield on
his way to Wichita some morning.
Other risks are less catastrophic. They include things
like amateurish behaviors by maintainers of the Internet
highway's potholes. Perhaps some material critical to
the manufacture of terabyte hard drives dries up. Or
maybe the cost of keeping the lights on and the bytes
herded become more than Matt can justify given his personal
needs for existence.
Several times a year I get an opportunity to
plant new seeds of thought in the minds of fellow citizens.
One of my favorites is to be standing in a long line
at Panera's waiting to purchase a bagel and coffee and
hear somebody in line complaining about the
wait. I suggest to them that to wait in line for a
much desired product is a GOOD thing. Not having
to wait is a BAD thing if there is not enough business
to encourage them to be open tomorrow.
It goes without saying that few, if any of us, possess the
talents, resources or motivation to step up and do what
Matt does. At last count, there were about 1600 individuals
who subscribe to this List [Aeroelectric-List]. . .
certainly many more make up the population of subscribers
to all of the Lists on Matronics.
A few years back, Matt was besieged by legal trials
and tribulations over the naming of his products . . .
seems somebody claimed ownership of the words 'scan'
and/or 'scanner' . . . We here on the AeroElectric-List
perceived a risk to Matt's operations and came up with
several thousands of dollars to contribute to his defense
fund. We need make no greater 'investment' in Matt's
operations now than it takes to stand in a line for
a Quarter-Pounder Combo . . . or a fist full of pencils.
You and I can have no more positive influence over the
manufacture of pencils and hard drives than to continue
to purchase such things and encourage those with the
time, talent and resources to continue doing what they
do best.
Let's contribute to the comfortable maintenance of this
service which is probably more valuable than we know.
Just a little bit from thousands of us on the Matronics
Lists can make a big difference.

Hi all, haven't posted in this section before but am after some advice from some
of you experienced people. I'm building a Europa aircraft and have started thinking
about my panel. I am going to get a dynon 10" screen instead of the old
6 pack and was thinking about getting another 7"dynon screen for the sat nav.
I am also fitting auto pilot both pitch and roll. What i want to know is 1-
has anyone used the dynon sat nav system and is it any good and 2- if the dynon
system is not recommended what other GPS would work with the 10" dynon and auto
pilot system i am fitting? Thanks to all Frank

I'm not sure what your criteria are for your GPS. I have a dual Dynon
instrument panel installed, complete with the Dynon VFR GPS receiver.
It picks up satellites any time my hangar door is open providing a view
of some of the sky. I don't know what you mean by "any good".
I also have the Dynon Skyview autopilot installed. You do not need a
second screen for the moving map, although more screen space available
does allow for a bigger picture. Other EFIS will not work with the
Dynon. While the servos are physically interchangeable with some others,
like Trutrack, they are different electronically. I'm a ways from first
flight, so I can't tell you how well they work in the air.
You don't say if you are planning for VFR use, IFR use. What you need
