It may be unnecessary but it is a good idea to do something. It will help to keep the pattern of the antenna as symmetrical as possible. Coiling the coax into four or five turns about 3"-4" in diameter will work too and it is easier to do than carefully measuring and cutting coax for a balun. > Is there any "correct length" that the split of the coax inner and shield > should be made? It should be a short as possible commensurate with good mechanical connections with strain relief. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza brianl@lloyd.com Suite 201 http://www.lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 (voice) +1.360.838.9669 (fax) There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest. A good citizen is prepared to do either as the need arises. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:33:19 PM PST US From: "Randy Pflanzer" Subject: AeroElectric-List: Music Volume Question --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Randy Pflanzer" Today was a big day. I did the smoke test on my wiring and all the smoke stayed inside. That's a big relief. I do have one issue. The volume on my MP/3 players is barely audable via my PM3000 intercom. Do I need an amplifier for the MP/3 player or is there a pot adjustment somewhere on the PM3000 to increase the volume? A review of the available documentation did not yield an answer.

My XM radio has a software volume adjustment in the menus that I had to turn all the way up.

If one squelch is open it would have this effect. I had the same problem and found that the co pilot's squelch was not set high enough. Turning a knob beat the heck out of tearing into the system.
