Bob,=0AA good thought, but the first fuse blew as I was doing that very thi
ng (running with the alternate feed switch closed). So for the last 12 hour
s or so, I have run with the alternate switch off. Just strange that it too
k 12 hours to pop again. Like one of the guys suggested, when I do my tests
I might find the radio draw is dancing around the 5A limit...so over time
it would probably eat away at the fuse until it fails. I guess the easy fix
could be to throw the 7.5 A in there, but it still bothers me that the rad
io specs indicate the high end draw at tx should be 3.5A (going from memory
here) or close to that. I am off to the field now and hope to gather some
useable information today. Just hopeI don't blow a fuse out there...should
get up to about 110 in Phoenix today.=0ADan=0A=0A=0A_______________________

Has anyone heard of an Apollo 706 radio? I recently bought a experimental that
has an Apollo 706 radio in it but I know nothing about it and haven't been able
to find anything for the wiring or operation. I don't even know if it is 720
channel or not. The operation does not seem vary intuitive to me as it is all
pushbuttons. It is probably from the late 80's or early 90's. A manual or general
information would be helpful. Rodney Hall

It is a Loran/Com that was built by Apollo and later purchased by
Garmin. Garmin dropped all but the SL series of the Apollo line from
their support pages.
54817896.jpg - Apollo 706 Transceiver - obscure radio, and hard to find
any details, but it appears to work well on my crude home bench test!

Is this not the case in the US?

| Subject: | Generator suppressor |
I'm busy replacing an old regulator (carbon pile with a cut-out relay) on a
de Havilland Chipmunk. I bought a modern regulator from Zeftronics (who, in
a world of poor service, excel themselves at being at the top of the bad
service list) and was about to install it when I noticed that there is also
what is termed a 'suppressor' between the generator and the regulator.
It is basically what I think is a smoothing filter - two inductors in series
with two capacitors, one after each inductor, connected to ground. There
are one of these circuits connected to either side of the generator (that
is, on either side of the main windings) and one to the one side of the
field winding. Since the original of this has disappeared from the aircraft
I need to make another one, but I am not sure of what values of inductance
and capacitance to use- does anyone have these values squirreled away
somewhere so that I can make a new suppressor?
Thanks
Jay

I presume if the last digit can be a 2 or a 7 as well as 5 & 0 it is 720

| Subject: | Hall Effect rpm sensor |
List guys,
Can someone direct me to "complete rpm sensor circuit", including
either a digital or analog gauge
that would go along with it?
I have need of something that will display visually a rotating motor's
shaft. A Hall Effect circuit
would be fine, but I'm open to anyone's suggestion if they have a better
idea how to monitor rpms
of a motor. FYI, the motors will turn at a relatively slow 200-250 rpm
(if that matters).
If you know of a specific gauge, or LCD display, that could read these
rpms, I'd appreciate that, too.
Thanks in advance,
Mike Welch
