    Subject: Audio & intercom make your own.
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Ian Scott" <jabiru22@yahoo.com.au> HI Bob and all, I saw a diagram somewhere on your site though I cant font it now, for a roll your own intercom. I intend to make my own form scratch. Features are VOX Music & Sat phone in Compaq Ipaq sound in, Transponder Alt alert in And maybe pilot isolate, Also what sort of signals (peak to peak) and impedance should I expect form (and to) the following devices Personal CD player. Normal aircraft headsets Headset micphone. And what input (and output) voltage and impedance is the Microair 760 expecting, both for mic in and sound out. Thanks in advance Ian

    Subject: VOR aerial
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "mike toft" <watervet@mweb.co.za> Bob - I hope this doesn't seem like a dumb question but I am new to the homebuilt game - but I have received a "Cat's Whisker" VOR aerial with my Garmin GTX320 and as I am building a composite (Europa) want to mount the aerial behind the rear baggage bulkhead - but 2 problems. 1. Can the aerial face backwards - i.e. the tip of the "V" face tie rudderpost - the plane of the aerial remains horizontal with the aircraft.? 2. The Whelan power unit for the strobes is below (8-10 ins) the aerial between the tips of the aerial - is this a problem? Thanks Mike Toft

Perhaps but only when you are listening to a VOR station and the only time you'll do this for long periods of time is when the VOR is being used as a remote transmitter for some ground based communications facility or the VOR is a weather broadcast facility . . . pretty rare. I wouldn't worry about it. Bob . . .

    Subject: Splitter
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Vincent Welch" <welchvincent@hotmail.com> I read previously that a signal from the NAV antenna can be used for the FM input to an AM/FM/CD. I am installing a wingtip antenna and would like to use a splitter to feed the FM radio. Now for the question. Is there anything special inside of a splitter, by that I mean are all of the outputs the same? I am asking because I need to split the signal going into the VAL INS422 also (need GS and NAV inputs). The splitter that I see in the Spruce catalog is arranged as follows: NAV NAV GS ANT The geometry of my panel indicates that the preferred layout would be: NAV GS NAV ANT (this lower NAV would connect to my FM radio) Can I connect these anyway I like or must the output marked GS go to the GS? I am trying to avoid sharp bends in the coax. Does this make any sense to anyone or am I just babbling? :) Vince Welch RV-8A

    Subject: LVWM
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Mark Phillips <ripsteel@edge.net> (re-posted- not sure if this got thru - do not archive ) Bob- I purchased your LVWM (12 volt) with the incandescent bulb option prior to converting to all LEDs for my annunciator, and would like to use it with the following LED bar module from DigiKey: http://rocky.digikey.com/scripts/ProductInfo.dll?Site=US&V=404&M=MU04-4101 This is an array of 3 superbright LEDs molded into a plastic block. I've have one of the red arrays powered up and intentionally overdriven at 50 mA, measured with a Fluke VOM (180 ohm res, LEDs in series) to determine longevity at an acceptable brightness level. Can I simply install this arrangement wired to the appropriate LVWM terminals in place of the incandescent? Also- sorry to nag ya about this, but curious as to progress on the Audio Isolation Amplifier........ Thanks! Mark Phillips - RV-6A

Their tuners have splitters of a sort to take AM and FM signals to different circuits and account for the fact that AM antennas on cars are terrible antennas and no so bad for FM frequencies. I've heard folks report "satisfactory" performance from their automotive receiver when hooked to various and sundry aviation antennas. The quantified level of performance is problematical but then, when you are 1 mile in the air, a wet string will have some degree of performance that you might well find "satisfactory". Give it a try. It can't do anything worse than be "unsatisfactory" in which case you'll have to do something else. Bob . . .

Good Afternoon All, For What It's Worth, the early Narco knob tuned receivers had the capability of going on down below the 108 frequency range into the top of the FM band. We often listened to those high end frequency FM stations via the VOR/ILS receiver. Happy Skies, Old Bob

    Subject: Web Site builder documentation of RV projects - Chris
    Good's --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "David Carter" <dcarter@datarecall.net> Chris Good, Thanks for calling attention to your excellent website. I've looked at others (not all, by any means) and have seen others who have posted "some" info on their RV - but your site is absolutely fabulous! Total documentation of anything I could think of to look up. - I highly recommend this web site to anyone building an RV!! Just yesterday I got my courage up again and did the first update/practice on my own primitive website since Nov 2000. I've changed computers since then and had to find and learn how to use a different FTP uploader pgm, and made a new checklist on how to add "daily" (periodic) update pages to the site. Now the wife & I need to learn how to download pictures from our digital camera we bought last Fall and have never downloaded. I am at the stage of creating schematics and wiring diagrams for my RV-6 electrical system, and plan to use IntelliCAD (open architecture clone of, and compatible with, Autocad ), starting off with, and modifying, Bob Nuckoll's drawings and symbols. I noticed your nice wiring info - color, etc. What program did you use to create such elegantly simple and clear graphic info? About your website, did you copy source code from someone else - like I do - and modify it? Or, did you have a professional web site person design it for you? I have the 27 page "NCSA - A Beginner's Guide to HTML" document that I printed off the internet - I use it for my main reference for HTML stuff . I create & edit web documents with Notepad, the simplest text editor. Any tips for us new guys to "web site documentation of our projects"?

    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Dave O'Donnell" <daveodonnell@direcway.com> What is the US wire std? In sheet or tubing BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) is the std. So I suspect it is the same in wire. In tubing 16 gauge is 0.065" average wall, normally with a +/- 10% tolerance (ASTM A249 A269, A1016). This means that if you order 16 gauge (0.065" avg) you get 0.058" min. If you order min wall you get min + 18%. How does it work in wire?

So here it is again. Brand new never mounted or powered. Purchased in Sept 02 and 26 month warranty is transferable (confirmed by UPS) Sell Price Spruce List GPS GX-60 $ 3,550 $ 3,795 $ 5,195 NAV/COM SL-30 $ 2,850 $ 3,125 $ 4,155 Annunciator ACU $ - $ 625 $ 695 $ 6,400 $ 7,545 $ 10,045 w/ GPSS - GPS steering for autopilots I prefer to sell them together, so I will give priority to anyone who wants both. My primary purpose is to sell the GX60, so I will not sell the SL30 before the GX60. Gary M. Coonan . RV-7 Avionics <mailto:gcoonan@comcast.net> gcoonan@comcast.net Do Not Archive

    Subject: UK Wire Gauge
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Alex Peterson" <alexpeterson@usjet.net> In the US, anything with "Gauge" as a measurement is hopeless to figure out. Tubing, wire, sheet metal, etc. There are pages of "standards", but wire, among other examples, depends on the material. I.e., copper X gauge is different from steel X gauge. Sheet metal same thing - depends on the material and which set of "standards". As I said, utterly hopeless. Alex Peterson Maple Grove, MN RV6-A N66AP 295 hours www.rvforum.org www.usfamily.net/web/alexpeterson > What is the US wire std? In sheet or tubing BWG (Birmingham > Wire Gauge) is the std. So I suspect it is the same in wire. > In tubing 16 gauge is 0.065" average wall, normally with a > +/- 10% tolerance (ASTM A249 A269, A1016). This means that > if you order 16 gauge (0.065" avg) you get 0.058" min. If > you order min wall you get min + 18%. How does it work in wire? > > Regards, > > Dave O

Contemporary entertainment headsets are lower impedance than aircraft headsets . . . they can range from 8 to 50 ohms but the voltage to drive them will be in the same ballpark as aviation headsets . . .

Bias up the microphone from a well filtered, 6v source through 470 ohm resistor. Voice signal levels will be on the order of 1v pk-pk.

Dummy load the mic input to the radio with 1K resistor and impress levels no more than 1v pk-pk audio level to the transmitter.
