Toney, Its certainly possible to have 2 nav/comms without an audio pnl., and have
music. In my RV6a I only have one comm and a mono Icom without the external
jack wired, but my cherokee has dual nav/coms + ADF and it is controlled with
a single swt on the pnl with a jack on the pnl for music input which goes into
the Icom and is muted if radio xmit or rec.Adf comes thru radio 2 swt side (turn
up vol and turn radio 2 vol down) I didnt wire it so can tell you how. I
bought a set of newere radios along with a Collins audio pnl, which I have never
installed. If you want a pnl, I will sell you the collins for $150, I bought
it working as removed. Charlie heathco

I am using PS Engineering's PMA4000. It is compact, highly functional and doesn't have all of the buttons and switches that you don't need. I have 2 Coms and one Nav wired into my PMA4000. See http://www.avionicswest.com/pma4000.html Price is $775 or less if you shop around.
Your requirements listed:
1. Have an intercom
2. Listen to stereo music
3. Have the music mute for radio traffic or intercom communications
4. Hear audio warnings from my AOA and engine monitor
5. Switch radios, if I decide to use a second comm. Radio
It does all that you ask except stereo. It does have an audio input that is automatically
muted (or the auto mute can be disabled for those times that you want
back ground music but still listen to ATC.).
If you must have stereo music (instead of mono), Aeroelectric has a do it your self isolation amp that you can build: http://www.aeroelectric.com/Catalog/AEC/9009/9009-700E.pdf
I have been very pleased with my PMA4000. I have my Monroy traffic monitor, uEncoder,
and alarm panel, and wired into the audio.

Walter -
We have the Proprietary Software Sport model AOA from Jim Franz. We also
have the Garmin 340 (and the other stack items) that we got from John
Stark at Stark Avionics in Columbus, GA. He did all the wiring between the
stack and to other items we specified. Our problem was that the Dynon
D-10A has an input to the 340; as did the Garmin 330 Modes S, the TruTrak
autopilot and the AOA. John wired the the transponder directly to the 340
at pin 31 of Plug #1 ("Altitude Warning In") and the ground goes to Pin 32
("Altitude Warning Return"). This is for unswitched audio input to the 340
and can also be used for other audio inputs. The cabling to the Dynon
(Encoder Data) also contained one shielded two wire that was labelled
"EFIS Audio" and pinned to the same pins on the 340.
So, we had lots of questions as to how to get the other two pieces and the
Dynon wired into the 340. If you do have other audio inputs, John said to
put a 300 ohm resistor in the signal line of each unit and parallel the
signals to pin 31 of plug 1 on the 340. This resistor has something to do
with the impedances and signal. The grounds go to pin 32.
An alternative to unswitched audio is noted in the 340 manual. You can
route it thru the ADF Radio pins 7 (hi) & 8 (lo) of Plug 1 on the 340.
But, you then have the input on a switch (ADF) and can turn it on or off.
However you then have to placard the ADF button accordingly.
Hope this helps.
John

Attempting to get the latest database for my GPS90, the j90-amrn-0306.exe file
produces the message "not a valid win32 application" when I try to execute it
in Windows 2000. Has anyone overcome a problem like this that could steer me
in the right direction? Email to Garmin has gone unanswered for quite some time.

Dave-
This does not necessarily look as what the message says. Win2K handles
win16 and dos calls.
I'd call Gamrin at 800-800-1020.

RST Engineering makes a audio panel/intercom kit that may work for what you are
doing. Here's a link to their website.

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "dave" <dford@michweb.net>
I've been chasing an intermittent power failure "blinking" or a 2 second cutout
of power enough to lose radio, reset gps flight planning and overall nuisiance.
I've been checking wire connections, possible loose terminals/wires. The
trouble until recently has been difficult to troubleshoot since it took a while
to determine exactly everything that was cutting out. Everything on the ESS
buss was losing power for just an instant. Sometimes this would happen as I
keyed the mic to transmit. I recently shut down everything to load a passenger
and when turning on master, all power going to items on the ESS buss were dead.
Further checking revealed no power through the ESS buss bridge diode. One
section of the AC to + terminal was open, connecting to the other AC input
restored power to ESS buss.

processing has not yet been tested and will wait for tonight's update.
If you encounter any odd behavior with respect to the Matronics Email
Server over the next few days, please contact me via email at
dralle@matronics.com or if that fails try dralle@speakeasy.net.
Thanks to everyone for being patient through this arduous process of a
major system upgrade!
