| Subject: | VHF triplexer to diplexer use |
Greetings=2C Looked in the Aeroelectric achieves and didn't see the follow
issue. I originally installed a triplexer believing I'd have dual VORs an
d a GS. Panel plans changed and I am not using second VOR antenna lead.
What to do?
a. Spend another $140 to buy the Diplexer?
b. Just leave it port unused?
c. Use the second VOR lead for a hand held? (wrong orientation?)
d. Or is there something (balum)? that I should plug into the 2nd VOR ant
enna feed to improve the VOR #1 reception?
Thanks for the help....

Great feedback sir. Thanks! Saves me from having
to go get one myself.
Your findings echo many of the review statements
I've read on the 'net.

That's my recommendation.

No.

I read the comments from others and saw a tip that said the HF crimper works for
wire rope. So, I used it on my rudder control cables. Although the crimps are
not as pretty as those from a genuine Nicopress crimper, it is a lot cheaper
than a Nicopress crimper and a lot easier to use than a manual crimper.

Unless you did tests to establish that the resulting swaged ovals will take
the full breaking strength of the cable take them off and throw them away.
Your life will depend upon those cables. Is your life only worth the few
pennies you saved? You can get a nico press tool for less than the cost of
the HFT hydraulic tool. Your local EAA chapter surely has someone who will
make proper cables for you, too. This isn't about pretty crimps, this is
about providing adequate structural strength of a life critical component.
If you're near central Kansas, I have a CGMP tool and a CG, too. I'll do the
crimps for you. If you aren't near, send me the cables to me and I'll
duplicate them with correct crimps for the price of materials.
Contact me direct if I can be of service.

Thanks, Homer GBYM
It isn't necessary to have relatives in Kansas City in order to be unhappy.
