    Subject: Flightcom 403 Aux inputs
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Pete Howell" <pete.howell@gecko-group.com> I am wiring the aux inputs to my FC 403 intercom (stereo) I have garmin 396 (st), Trafficscope VRX (st), ipod(st), GRT EIS 4000(Mono). I have them each isolated with a 150 Ohm R and a 10 uF cap. 396 and ipod will not be used at the same time. It all works pretty well except when the Trafficscope is hooked up, I get a low level tone - not really the classic ground loop hum. The voices are clear when the traffic alerts kick in, but the low level tone is always there. My next step is the iso amp, but I thought I would try to make this passive network work first. One other question - could an unused mic input be used for the mono EIS warning tone. Thanks, Pete
