      Question: Can any of you recommend a solution for converting an EI
      P-300C capacitance probe output, "something squared" to 0-5 volts? I am
      installing an EI 4ft sender along with the Dynon D180. I've seen a lot
      of crazy microprocessor chips and such, but I need something I can
      actually use. The Dynon option is not an option because it has a BNC
      adapter on one end which is only useful if you have an RV with the
      capacitance plate sender unit. My sender has 3 wires coming out, that's
      it. 
      
      Thanks,
      
      Glenn

      I'd suggest giving EI a call.  They have always been very helpful, when I've 
      called with questions.

      Thanks Doug,
      
      Another reader provided a great option. I just talked to the proprietor
      from SaintAero LLC saintaero@charter.net 817.578.7339. He's got the
      solution in a box. The check is in the mail. $100.00

      For what it's worth, here's one data point for you.
      I used a 90 degree BNC adapter between my transponder antenna and the coax  
      and the transponder would not work.  It was an adapter, not a  connector.  
      I switched to a straight coax to antenna connection (just  barely had enough 
      room) and it worked fine.
      I have since sworn off ever again using a 90 degree BNC adapter.

      Those are not AMP connectors.....the "True" AMP connectors have a raw cost
      many times higher than that.  Those are the commercial grade Amphenol (not
      to be confused with the  AMP/Tyco silver plated Mil Spec BNC's).  Even the
      high grade Amphenol non RFX right angle connectors are well above $17, if
      you want the consumer grade RFX listed as you referenced, you can find them
      all over the place cheaper than that by a good margin (around $3-4).
      
      That being said, the RFX's are not bad BNC's (we frequently use them on
      straight connectors), but on the much more complex right angle connectors we
      prefer the higher grade ones.
      
      Anyway, just wanted to make sure people didn't think that particular
      connector listed below was actually an AMP connector or a Mil Spec
      connector...neither of which it is. Amphenol is a completely different
      company/product line than AMP/Tyco.  Just because someone says they "meet or
      exceed" military specifications on a website doesn't make it true.
      
      Cheers,
      
      Stein
