Bob-
In an informal session in Nashville a few years ago, you gave me this same
advice. I returned home I did just as you outlined below. It saved eons of
grief and the whole system works like a champ. Looking for menu items or
icons is a lot harder and more time consuming than typing one or two
letters to get the tool you need.
Cheers,
John Schroeder

I'll make my recommendation again, for those who are newbies at this and
want a simple schematic drawing program, go to http://www.capilano.com/ and
download Designworks LITE and if you like it, pay $39.95. It will do what
you need to do and without memorizing commands or trying to make a program
like Visio or Paint do something it was never designed to do.

Visio not designed to draw? Vision is on of the best flow chart,
diagramming programs out there, and its use could not be easier. Drag
and drop with built in templates, multiple layers, labeling, colors, and
the ability to link diagrams, so that when you move one object the
connecting line goes with it, could not be easier. Plus an interface
that most people are familiar with, because it is integrated with the
office suite, and you can demo it for free.
Don't see how it could be easier.

I found on ebay the Dymo Pro 5000 brand new for 80.00. Here are the specs.
These things will even do shrink tube labeling.
. Meets ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A labeling standards.
. "Hot keys" provide automatic label formatting for wires and cables,
terminal blocks, patch panels, vertical and fixed length labeling.
. Advanced wire gauge function. Just select the wire gauge or cable size and
RhinoPRO sets up the label precisely.
. Features common datacom and electrical symbols: ohm, ground, phone, data
and fax
. Prints up to 12 characters for vertical wraps.
. Automatically underlines 6's and 9's for wire and cable marking.
. Smear-proof thermal printing resists solvents, heat and moisture.
. Ten-label memory for fast results.
. Prints Code 39 and Code 128 bar codes
. Prints five text sizes.
. Includes impact-resistant rubber bumper.
. Automatic shut-off saves battery life.
. Bright yellow color means this tool won't get lost.
. Fits in the palm of your hand.
. Uses 6 AA batteries (not included).
. Weighs just over 1 lb.
. Package includes one RhinoPRO 5000 with impact-resistant bumper, one
RhinoPRO 3/4" (19 mm) flexible nylon label cassette, User Manual.

Yes, I love Visio for what it does well. (I'm a consultant, so Visio is my
second best friend.) I've used the Technical edition and the Professional
edition to draw everything from flowcharts to network diagrams to
floorplans. And I've been using it since way before Microsoft "absorbed"
it. But for schematics, it's not as good as DesignWorks Lite. I could be
wrong, but I don't think there is a Visio edition for $39.95 that will do
schematics and includes a component library. If it can do something like
this:
http://www.davemorris.com/Photos/Dragonfly%20Electrical/N75UP-Schematic-June2005.pdf
please let me know, because I'll be glad to switch.

Subject: | Re: Crimper for large (AWG 10-6) open barrel terminals |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Jon Goguen <jon.goguen@umassmed.edu>
I have several uses in mind. The most demanding is as an OV disconnect
for the B lead of a 40 amp IR ND alternator, with an 8 or 6 AWG wire.
The contacts in the relay are rated for 100,000 cycles at 70 amps/14
volts. Do you have some reason to believe that fast-on style
connectors don't scale up well to the 0.375 size and won't meet the
manufacturers specs on these relays with respect to current rating?
They would be installed as part of an integrated connector that
includes all four terminals, and would be provided with proper wire
support. I like them because they're very light, very cheap, and
replaceable on a plug-in basis.

I did my wiring diagram with Visio.
http://www.rv8.ch/images/articles/20041121101637759_1_original.gif
Visio is a great program as you know, but it costs *a lot* more
than 40 bucks. Luckily I had a copy it from a previous life so I
didn't have to pay for it myself.
I tried DesignWorks Lite, hoping it could replace Visio, but I
think it is targeted towards people that know something about
electricity - that ain't me. I couldn't figure out how to draw
a line, so I went back to Visio. I just don't have the time to
invest to learn a new CAD program right now, since I only use
it from time to time. For those of you who don't know Visio
or DesignWorks (or any of the other nice drawing packages out
there) I'd go with something cheap.

The new version 2003 Professional offers a whole new type called
electrical engineering and has a couple of hundred different symbols
available as a template, and can import the CAD symbols if you want. I
re-did the drawing you showed in about 10 minutes, of course I did not
have to design it "GRIN", then I linked the objects, and as I move them
around the page the bus moves with them, it also has the ability to do 4
conductor buses, pretty slick.
The demo is free, and most of us have access to it through our
workplace. If you work at a larger company that has a Microsoft select
agreement, the IT shop is allowed to give it to you for home use, most
people do not know this, and most IT departments will not tell you,
because they do not want to support it at home. But become good friends
with an IT guy and you will have access to it.
Or load the demo and try it that way, but make sure to get the 2003 Pro,
because this is the first version to include electrical engineering and
makes it real easy to make schematics.

Maybe it is the first since Micro$oft has owned it, but my version of
Visio Technical 4.0 (1995) came with LOTS of electrical symbols (as well
as mechanical, chemical, petroleum, network, landscaping, home, network,
etc.).
It wasn't as cheap as $39.95, but it used to be a bargain before
Micro$oft bought them.

Subject: | Carrier Only Problem |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Charlie Brame <chasb@satx.rr.com>
A friend is having radio problems with a new intercom/radio installation.
His bird is equipped with a intercom which appears to work as
advertised. Intercom between cockpits is okay. The mic break level is
easily adjustable using the intercom squelch, and the intercom volume is
adjustable. The comm radio receives very well on all channels. However,
the radio only sends a carrier - no voice, when attempting to transmit.
The carrier is strong and can be heard on a handheld over a half mile
away, but no hint of any voice.
We have eliminated the headset and the intercom, we think. We have
traced mic wires and all appear to be as they should be. The PTT circuit
is apparently working as a carrier is transmitted. Why no voice?
Any suggestions as to where to continue trouble shooting would be appreciated.

I would think the mic is not being switched from the intercom to the radio
mic input as the ptt is pushed - or at least that would be my diagnostic
starting point. If that is not the problem I would then suspect the radio

Charlie,
I had the same problem when I first installed my radio.
ICOM A200 VHF COM,
Sigtronics 400 series intercom,
Single (center stick) PTT.
I had crossed the co-pilot and pilot mic wires at the panel. Easy enough to
check. Talk into the co-pilot's mic and see if it modulates!
Hope this helps. Do not archive.

Is your PTT line routed through the intercom, or direct to the radio? If
direct, the intercom might not be routing the mic signal out to the
radio. Check with the intercom mfgr to see if it requires the PTT line
to be routed through it to activate the xmit mic audio out line.
Did you install a backup mic/PTT jack direct to the radio? If so, you
can test from there to the radio with your mic plugged into this jack.
If not, can you get to the mic in terminal on the back of the radio? If
so, you can probe the terminal with a paper clip or something similar
while holding the PTT. As you probe repeatedly, you should hear clicks
on another radio on the same freq. This will let you know whether the
radio's audio section is working.
If all works so far, grab some clip leads & clip the intercom's mic
output line to the 'ring' of your headphone plug & clip the ground
terminal to the 'sleeve' of the plug. Hold the PTT down & talk in the
mic, listening to the headphone to see if you hear audio. This will tell
you if the intercom is passing audio in transmit mode.
If still no joy, ask us again.

FWIW I downloaded spec sheet for the VF7 tyco relay and believe it is
not suitable for that purpose. Figure 1 shows the ability to
disconnect a resistive load and extinguish the arc. At 40 amps (or a bit
more) it can't manage more than about 20 volts. Remember that you aren't
interupting a 12 volt supply but something higher during a runaway and
it will rise further as the contacts start to open and arc. With some
inductive characteristics this is also probably a more severe case than
the resistive situation that the graph refers to.
http://www.snesne.com/vf7.pdf
I found those "integrated" connectors to be problematic even on 1/4"
spade terminal relays. The open barrel connectors don't seem to grip
tight enough to reliably handle much current. I prefer separate PIDG
connectors for each wire. I tried using PIDG connectors in an integrated
connector but then they were too difficult to install or remove without
destroying the relay due to the high forces involved. Most automotive
relays don't interupt more than about 14 volts and I'm having trouble
thinking of any that handle more than about 10 amps except maybe the
anti-skid.

I would suspect that the mike audio out from the intercom to the radio
mike audio input is somehow not making it (broken/missed connection).
Checkout that path...
The mike key is making it since the Com side transmits, but looks like the
mike audio is not.

Check to see that the mic output level from the intercom to the comm
radio is set correctly. Some intercoms have a separate internal
adjustment to set the level of the signal going to the radio.
Secondly, check to see that the mic level in the radio is set properly.
Every transceiver with which I am familiar has a mic level control to
allow the shop to adjust to accommodate different microphones.
If you tell us which model of intercom and which model of comm radio you
have I might be able to be more specific.

Does the system include an auxilliary radio input - to effectively bypass
the intercom - another set of jacks? If so, have you tried it? Have you
tried to turn off the intercom?
