| Subject: | PLEASE READ - List Fund Raiser Kickoff! |
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the List services at Matronics. It's solely through the Contributions
of List members that these Matronics Lists are possible. There is NO
advertising to support the Lists. You might have noticed the conspicuous lack
of flashing banners and annoying pop-ups on the Matronics Email List email messages
and web site pages including:
* Matronics List Forums http://forums.matronics.com
* Matronics List List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com
* Matronics List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search
* Matronics List Browser http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse
You don't find advertising on any of these pages because I believe in a List experience
that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and
not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these Lists. Your personal Contribution
counts!
Once again, this year I've got a terrific line up of free gifts to go along with
the various Contribution levels. Most all of these gifts have been provided
by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on Matronics Lists and
have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous people include:
* Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
* Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
* Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP http://www.homebuilthelp.com
These are extremely generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective
web sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful aviation-related product
line. I would like publicly to thank Bob, Andy, and Jon for their generous support
of the Lists again this year!!
You can make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure site below:

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!

I have a King KR86 with the 42B antenna. the24' cable has been cut.
Can I splice it back together or cut it to 15'. The manual instructs; Do not change
cable length. King offered the cable @ either 24' or 15'.
Where the 15' and 24' cables identical other than length?
The part #'s for the 15' and 24' differ only by the last letter/digit.
Thank You

Those fixed length cables were designed
to present a certain capacitance to critically
tuned circuits within the receiver. If I
recall correctly, the "coaxial" cable wasn't
really an impedance-matched material . . . the
center conductor was a very fine wire compared
to the inside diameter of the shield. I suspect
that the material for both cables is the same
and the 15' cable has a capacitor added inside
one of the connector shells to compensate for
the shorter cable's lower capacitance.
Just an educated guess.
Suggest you splice it with a minimum removal
of original cable.

| Subject: | LED strips for cabin light |
Gents,
I've been pondering for a while what to do about an inexpensive, neat
cabin light for my Jodel project. I thought LEDs were the way to go,
and instead of fabricating something, bought something like this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/24-LED-White-Flexible-Strip-Waterproof-Car-Light-Bulb-/160500858701#ht_3067wt_1066
It runs straight off the bus, is nice and bright, and was easy enough
to mount. It's set into a slot in a piece of thin ply, with some
spruce stiffeners each side of the slot, then the ply was covered with
headlining material. It fits really well in the cabin roof. Picture
attached. Forgive the poor quality, but hopefully you can make out
what's going on.

Heard recently an allegation that this type of connector may no longer
be allowed on certified aircraft. Old wives tale or is there some
substance? I've learned to take 43-13 with a grain of salt, so figured
would ask the experts first.

I just received the S704-1 Alt OV disconnect relay from B&C. AFter searching
several sources, I think I know how to connect. The question I have is...as
there are two coil tabs, does it matter how the polarity is attached? Thanks
