    Subject: Battery Chargers and Maintainers
    I've received some direct emails from folks who were upset about what they perceived as a poo-pooing of someone's work in describing the current market choices in battery chargers. I've not read the article and what I wrote was not directed at the author nor toward any of the products he described. Let's look at it this way: Suppose you get up some early Sunday morning back in the days of 12 VHF channels on TV and while sipping your coffee, every stop while flipping through the channels presents you with some guy who is VERY enthusiastic about HIS particular fishing product. You are persuasively "educated" on the merits of various means by which aquatic life can be extracted from the wild. You might have Mr. Ronco pitching the pocket fisherman on one channel. Somebody else may be trying to convince you to take out a mortgage on your first born and join the ranks of the crabbers in the Bearing Sea. Certainly the range of fishing gear and the applications they address can cover a huge range of capability and cost. On none of those infomercials will it be suggested that you establish design goals, budgets and utilization profiles that allow you to judge return on investment for your purchase. Indeed, there are many $20K bass-rigs sitting in folks back yards where the owner wishes he had is money back! Every one of those purveyors of marvelous fishing products can go through his 1/2 hour pitch without ever having lied to you. Each product will perform as advertised. But since his goal is to convince you that you need his product, the last thing he wants to do is suggest tools for decision making that put his sales at risk. Further, you may well find that the most practical solution to a fishing task isn't even offered on T.V. Your kid may come home some day with a string he caught using a hook, personally captured bait, 20' of monofilament and a wine cork as a float. "Lookit here dad. Caught these guys off the 21st street bridge with less than 50 cents worth of gear!" I can confidently suggest that the kid's return on investment was pretty good. Certainly the battery charging marketplace is flooded with the ability to do a great deal. Jelly-bean microprocessors and compact power electronics has opened a floodgate of opportunities. Just check though the patents on ideas for charging and testing batteries. However, the bottom line for getting good utility out of our battery purchases remains unchanged for nearly a century. No matter how many bells and whistles are built into your battery chargers and/or test tools, it's still up to YOU to set goals and craft processes by which those goals will be met at an expenditure of $time$ you're willing to pay. The elegant solution is invariably the one with highest benefit/cost ratio. Quite often, the supper-whippy, platinum plated battery charger is DEPENDED upon to make some poor sap's battery last forever. The sad truths are discovered and the dependence proven irrational when a battery fails to perform at some critical time in the future. Nobody's enthusiasm for selling you a battery charger will replace or even slightly relieve YOU of the need for understanding how YOUR battery does or does not work and tailoring YOUR processes and tools to the task for meeting YOUR alternator-out endurance goals.

    I don't know much abnout it yet, but the digital stations have extra channels. For instance 6-1 HD is Channel 6's regular format 6.2 WX is Channel 6's weather format. It has nothing to do with XM, I think. Sam On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 11:22 AM, thomas sargent <sarg314@gmail.com> wrote: > I was unaware that the same nexrad info on XM was broadcast locally.

    Hi Sam, What an incredible idea! Went to amazon and searched for 'digital portable tv' and got about a dozen options for less $140 (most around $100-120 mark).

Thanks in advance Jim James Robinson Glasair lll N79R Spanish Fork UT U77 ________________________________ From: "SteinAir, Inc." <stein@steinair.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 5, 2009 11:55:29 AM Subject: AeroElectric-List: Non WAAS GNS-430 Trades Hi All, One last note to see if there are any of you floating around out there with Non WAAS GNS-430's that have zero flight time on them.... A number of you had responded to my last note about a month or so ago, but my customer still wants more so I'm checking again. Here's the deal: I need GNS-430's that are either new in the box, or installed but NEVER flown (zero flight time). If you have one, we'll trade you a brand spankin new GNS-430W for your efforts. It sounds to good to be true, but it's not. One of my customers is a major military contractor who got themselves into a pickle with a certain project and ended up short on the 430's. The have to be Non WAAS because they are in Europe, and they need to match the rest of the fleet. If you have one, please contact me off list ASAP. I'm sorry but we can't use "almost new" or "as good as new" or "only one flight" units, they have to be new never used.

    Subject: Magneto Wiring with 2-50 switches and toggle switch
    starting
    From: "messydeer" <messydeer@yahoo.com>
    Right now I'm starting to draw up my electrical schematic using Z-20 as a guideline for my Jabiru 3300. Z-20 shows a 1-3 switch for each ignition and a separate push starter switch. I read in chapter 11 of the AEC that a 2-50 switch could be used to combine the starter switch with one of the ignition switches, thereby eliminating one switch. I assume this would be a good idea, since it is one less thing to buy, install, and have break. But I am a little confused on the wiring, both of this particular config and of magneto wiring in general. There is a diagram on p11-19 of AEC, but Z-17 doesn't show enough detail for me. It would be great if I could get the terminal connections for the two 2-50 (or 2-5) switches, including how the shields are wired at the engine. It also seems a 1-3 on-off switch would work for the right mag. I've heard of 'O' and 'P' leads. As I understand it, the 'P' leads ground to kill the mags. They are shielded, but seems like I've heard both of grounding just one end and grounding both ends. Not clear on the physical grounding connections, either. If you're able to shed some light on this, that would be great!

    Subject: Re: ROCHESTER FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WIRING
    From: "Thruster87" <alania@optusnet.com.au>
    Still trying to get these fuel gauges to work. The sender units are 10-76 ohms and the ROCHESTER FUEL LEVEL Indicators are 0 - 90 ohms also if I apply 12v to the sen terminal and put a 45 ohm resister inline to ground on the center terminal [the center terminal has a metal plate which extends to around the light bulb hole ] it reads 1/2 way on the gauge which appears to be the correct value.Still not sure what the ign terminal is used for then !!!!

    Subject: Magneto Wiring with 2-50 switches and toggle switch
    starting Hi there Dan, I also considered using the 2-50 switches but decided to use a separate push button to start because I like to have the ability to crank the engine without the mags on; sometimes useful for troubleshooting and maintenance. With the 2-50 switches you have to have both mags on to crank.
