As Dave pointed out, the metallic enclosure of your splitter has continuity to ground by way of the coax shields that are tied to it through the connectors. Things that go on 'inside the wall of shields' in a feed line system is pretty much an isolated world. Just how and where the shields get tie to the airframe . . . or whether they ever get tied to airframe has no influence upon the business of getting radio frequency power from one end to the other. Are you seeing similar symptoms with more than one steering needle? Both VOR or is one of them a Glide Slope?

Nuckolls, III" Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Re: OS Wig-Wag Project Had a little hitch in the assembly task. Found a layout error on the board and some scrambled numbers in the connector pin-outs. All has been fixed, a board stuffed and static tested. The SOIC-8 mos-fets will sink 1.5 amps with no more than 0.040 volts drop. Higher currents will be proportionally higher but still quite satisfactory to our needs. The revised data package and pictures are posted at: http://tinyurl.com/6w9vndk I'll mail you a proof-of-concept board, test harness and enclosure to work with on Monday. Bob . . .

I assume it's going to have timing options or something that makes it better than a flasher. Thanks, Tim Sent from my iPad On Jun 2, 2012, at 8:19 PM, "Robert L.

As you can see from the wiring diagram in the data package that the control switch doesn't carry lamp current . . . so it can be a minature, low current device. We hadn't talked about timing options. But there are a couple of extra inputs to the board that could be used to select flash rates.
