Probably the best in depth and most welll researched article I have read on comparison
of systems available. Although a bit outdated re: one of the Mfgrs. Well

Good ole' Harbor Freight. What would we do without that 500 billion
dollar trade deficit. I bought a pair from Stein (also imported) which
doesn't require a shaving kit full of dies, but does cost a few extra
bucks. Convenience worth the money. See their tools page.

I have one of these. It works great for crimping some large wire gauges
- 8 tons of force, hex crimp, etc. However, the dies that are supplied
with it are completely marked incorrectly - at least for the type of
terminals we typically use in aviation. The range is on the small size
in reality and most of the dies are not usable.
It will, however, crimp standard #4, #6 and #8AWG wire terminals using
the dies marked "00" (biggest), "0", and "2" respectfully. It might do
#10, but I didn't have any around to try.
So, it's cheap..and it works...just don't expect a correct die set.

Not as inexpensive as the $10 pound-on-it crimper, but...
These occasionally go on sale at HF for under $50, and with a
20% off coupon on top of that, for <$40 a very nice tool that crimps
from AWG-12 to 00 cables.

Indeed. I wonder if it's coincidence that Dynon have since started
using GPS augmentation to help with lost airspeed data?
Either way, it's good for everyone to have a clear, unbiased comparison.
Thanks

Subject: | Preferred Method for Redundant Power Sources to Single |
Input
Bob,
I am curious as to what your preferred method is for providing redundant power
sources to devices that only have a single power input.
One thought was that you could use one half of a bridge rectifier diode with fast-on
tabs to provide a simple way to provide dual inputs and handle the diode
backfeed protection. The only problem with that is the forward voltage drop
can be significant. I noticed it is 1.7V on a Radio Shack piece that I looked
at. I called B&C and they did not know (?) what the forward voltage drop was
on their product (I am guessing it might be the same).
I like the simplicity of the bridge if the drop wasn't so significant. Do you
tend to prefer axial diodes or some other solution?
Thanks,
Scott
