to Dynon EFIS
Gilles,
Yes, as below that is my current setting. There is some other voodoo in
progress. I will try every other reasonable option before I throw them
over the cliff. The last call I will make is to Klaus.
Thanks

Apropos of the topic, for some years I have been offering a tachometer pulse-divider
for those who need one, or just to play with.

Thanks Eric,
Is that on your website? If the LS deal doesn't work out...
I may even pick one up to "play"

Not yet.
I have a bunch of things "not on my website" or "not in my catalog" or "has no
price and no production plans". This tends to reduce the sales volume a bit, but
not always.

Subject: | Terminating Coax Cable to VOR Antenna |
I have a RAMI AV-12 VOR antenna that has the two machine screws/studs for electrical
connection to the coax cable -- it doesn't take a BNC twist-on connector.
I believe the coax that I have is a double shielded type but it isn't RG400
-- it has a bright yellow outer jacket.
How do I terminate this coax cable to this antenna? Do I just crimp PIDG terminals
(or solder suitable lugs?) to the braided shield and to the center conductor?
I'd also use some heat-shrinked tubing. Is anything more than this required?
Best regards,
