If you're using Navworx ADS600B, you should note that the DB37 comes with an unusual
connector arrangement consisting of posts and sliding lock retainer (see
page 15 of attached pdf). I have never seen one of these before and was stumped
on how exactly to get it attached. Note that the screws on the plug have tiny
ridges that lock onto the retainer. The posts are mounted on the box. It's
all very obvious once you see it work, but not so much when you're handed a pile
of parts.
Cheers,
Jay

Good Morning Jay,
Those retainers are heavily used on many older Bendix-King components. I
love them. Easy to fasten and easy to unfasten yet they hold very well. Just
on opinion! <G>
Happy Skies,
Old Bob

Subject: | antenna connections |
I read through stuff Bob has written about making VHF antennas. Here's how I understand
it.
Coaxial cable has a center conductor and outer shield. The connector at the end
of the cable connects the shield to the shell of this female connector, which
gets screwed onto the male threaded barrel of the antenna mount. This part of
the antenna mount is connected to the metal skin, which forms the ground plane.
The inner conductor wire connects to the inner conductor of the antenna mount,
which is isolated from the surrounding male threaded barrel and hex portion that
mounts inside the aircraft. The inner conductor of the mount is electrically
connected to the 3/8" male threaded stud, which is also connected to the adapter,
bolt, and antenna whisker.
To install this ebay mount, it looks like I'd remove the 3/8" female threaded hex
barrel adapter, star washer, and what looks like an insulating shoulder washer.
From the inside of the aircraft, insert the 3/8" male stud through the doubler
and skin, then slide the shoulder washer and star washer on from the outside.
Tighten the hex barrel adapter over the stud, then the bolt/antenna whisker.
If I've understood it correctly, there wouldn't then be an issue with lock-washer
centering, which I didn't understand in the first place.
Thanks,
Dan

Good Evening Dee,
Near as I can tell it is called a Sliding Lock Retainer Assembly by Cannon.
As was said earlier, it is on page fifteen of their catalog.

There's an article on the materials and process at:
http://aeroelectric.com/articles/Antennas/DIY_Comm_Ant/DIY_Comm.html
I modify the adapter in a lathe to provide
a centering shoulder for the lock-washer.

Subject: | Re: antenna connections |
Yes, thanks, Bob. I should have mentioned that's where I got most of my info. This
ebay mount has a so239 to connect to, which would take a pl259 on the cable
end. I'm thinking of getting that mount from ebay and the cable from you. Would
you have a pl259 to go onto that? Depending on where I locate the antenna,
I might need a 90 on one or both cable ends. If you don't have those, would I
be able to send them to you?
Speaking of antenna location, I've heard it's not good to get the xpdr and com
antennas closer together than 5', 3', or 22". Could you shed some light on this?
One last thing. The 1/8" SS piano wire (or welding rod?) can be soldered to the
bolt with my Kester 44?
Thanks,
Dan

I have rt-angle BNC connectors. Suggest you put
a UHF to BNC adapter on the antenna mount
Emacs!
and use right-angle BNC's to finish up the
task. I can craft cables to your needs.

Most transponder antennas go on the belly and
comm antennas on top. If both are on belly, then
just get them as far apart as possible.

No, silver solder. Tin lead is too weak and won't flow
to stainless.

I'll be mounting both xpdr and com antennas on the bottom. I could get 36" between
them without a problem.
I looked over silver soldering. Had thought that was an old saying for 'soldering'. Another option would be to get a SS whip antenna, like this from Radio Shack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102428&CAWELAID=107599032 It's 102" but has a 3/8-24 fitting. Cutting it down would be no problem, but putting a 45 bend could be. I assume this would be a tube that could kink.
ACS has one for about $20, but I thought I read someone say it didn't have the
standard fitting, which seems odd. I'll have to check with them.
