A lot of Mode S development work was done in Britain, so someone
appropriated the Old English word "squitter" - which roughly translates
as "to squirt" - for the unsolicited transponder replies sent by a Mode
S box. Sorta makes sense, I guess.

yup . . . that's my name at the top of the article. I need to update
the piece to include automatic stripper recommendations. My personal
favorite is a device offered by Gilchrist Electric on Ebay. See
item #9720665045
You use .213 and .068 dies for RG58 or RG400 and the coax connectors
sold by B&C have been tested for compatibility with these tools.

Incidently Radio Shack sells a ceapo crimper for RG58 that works great.

Subject: | LED Repeaters... |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Greg Campbell <gregcampbellusa@gmail.com>
I have a little alarm control panel with a red LED that indicates
when the system is "Active". The problem is I need to "see" that
information in places other than where the built in LED is.
I'm hoping someone could help me build a circuit that would let me
add additional LED status indicators in 3 or 4 locations. I figure there
are at least two ways to approach the problem:
1) keep my wires "outside" the alarm box by putting a photo-transistor or
something
over the master "status LED" and have it drive the other LED's to follow
suit.
Clunky - but it avoids voiding their warranty or intruding on their
circuitry.
2) go ahead and pop open their box and directly tap into the circuit that
feeds their LED,
as well as swipe some of the 12vdc to power my "LED repeaters". I'm
thinking this
could also be done with a transistor, or worst case, with a transistor and
small Bosch relay.
I suspect that their status LED lights up with a forward voltage around a
volt at 20 or 30mA,
so I can't just tap a 5v or 12v relay coil into it. I might be able to
figure out how to do this on my own,
but I'm betting that there is some expert out there that will find this a
piece of cake.
Any takers out there?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Greg,
If you decide to open the box, look for the series resistor that drives
the LED. You may be able to use that signal to drive a relay
directly. LED's usually run about 2V forward voltage, so you can find
out how much current the LED is pulling by dividing the voltage driving
that resistor minus 2 by the resistance. It may not be as high as 30
mA. You can get reed relays that will switch .5 A and need about 10 mA
at 5 or 12 V to operate for a couple of bucks. Even better might be a
solid state relay such as the Claire CP1030N that will turn on with a
current of 2 mA. You'll need your own series resistor to drive it.

Hello Greg
Perhaps you could drive multiple fiber optic indicators with 1 LED?
Perhaps you could talk to an engineer and see how many mAs their circuit
will drive, and use a fair powerful LED??
My take is you are not having as much fun as you can if you still have a
valid warrenty!

I've not had success with that method. It works but too dim to be
useful. Might work with a lens at the LED end but I didn't have a lens.
I just ran the wires out and moved the LED for my situation.

Sorry for the confusion, of course I knew you wrote the article. Another
(better?) way of stating my question would have been:
Bob, when writing ...crimp.pdf... did you base your crimp die selection from
RG-400...
*Sigh* I never could get anything but mediocre B's in English. Thanks for
your answer.
Rob Wright
