| Subject: | I have just re-subscribed. |
Hi All
Seeing Bob's appearance in the August Kitplanes issue reminded me that I
had been a member of the list back before retiring in early 2005 but
somehow, I dropped off in the months that followed. Quite when that
happened, I can't tell butit has been many years since I have received
any list traffic. I'm sure that I was using the same email address back
then.
No matter, I have now re-subscribed and now look forward to seeing what
you have all been up to in the intervening years. The wigWag project is
certainly among that activity, so I will start by reading about that.
Regards
Bill

| Subject: | Radio not working (GNS430 and GMA240 setup) |
Hi List,
I have a problem that is driving me nuts. I have run out of ideas for trouble
shooting this.
I have a GN430 as com 1 and a GMA240 audio panel mounted in my Kitfox. My com2
is a handheld and I haven't wired it in yet.
All the GNS and GMA functions (GPS, intercom, music, etc) work except for the radio:
I cannot hear others and they cannot hear me, even though I can see the
Tx and Rx symbols on the GNS's LCD display which indicates that the PTT buttons
are working and that the radio is receiving *something*.
Here are the steps I have taken so far towards trouble shooting:
- I have checked that the headsets are working (the intercom works perfectly and
they work on other a/c).
- I have also checked that the radio works on my bench (I can hear transmissions
that I send using a handheld radio, even without mounting an antenna on the
GNS).
- I have checked all the connections between the GNS and GMA connectors using a
tester.
- I have turned up the volume and turned down the squelch on the GMA and on the
GNS.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Am I missing something obvious that I should
check? I suppose I haven't checked that the com1 channel on GMA works but
I have no reason to doubt it, since the unit is new.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sacha

Do you have power to all the power inputs on the 430? It needs two
separate inputs, and the separation isn't intuitive. It'll still do some
comm stuff without comm power, IIRC.
Other than that, if you're using 12V, are you sure it's a 12V unit, not 24?

| Subject: | Zodiac 601 with Jabiru engine radio noise revisited. |
Hi Bob and All
I had a chance to do some work on the Zodiac 601 with a jabiru engine
again. The problem is the Microair radio has a very loud hum when
transmitting. The voice is clear but along with the voice is a very loud
hum (whine). This happens with either the radio, or intercom being
used, makes no difference. So far I=99ve installed a forest of
tabs on the firewall, and rewired all grounds to it, Jabiru recommended
twisting the alternator(PM) leads full length, this was done, phone jack
isolation washers where installed and checked for no errant grounds,
regulator/rectifier hot lead was moved to the battery, ground was moved
to forest of tabs big bolt. Mic audio and mic ground wires where
separated as best as I could for most of their length(short run anyway).
Capacitor was installed across the bus to ground.
The noise starts to appear at 1600 rpm and increases in volume up to
max engine rpm. The alternator cuts in at 1600 rpm. Disconnected the
alternator and ran it, no hum, everything is fine. If it is the
alternator being the culprit, is there anyway to deal with it?
Thanks for everyone's suggestions so far but I=99m running out
of ideas.

Hi Dave,
Yup, power is present on both inputs and its definitely a 12v unit. The Rx (
resp. the Tx) signal does appear on the LCD screen when the radio is receivi
ng (resp. when I push the PTT button), it's just that no sound seems to be r
eceived or transmitted.

Sacha,
My suggestion is a bit far out, but, I have witnessed the 430 problem. .
.
When the 430 chassis box is mounted in the panel, it maybe set a bit too
far back in the rack; maybe 1/8 inch or so. It must be fixed flush with
the panel front. If it is not flush, when you slide the 430 in, all the
pins do not fully engage into the chassis box receiver pin sockets.
This can also happen when you install the 430 into a properly located
chassis box, if the 430 is not fully drawn back into the chassis via the
screw locking device.

Welcome back Bill! Hmmm . . . Matt has excellent
archives on List traffic for all the services
on his system . . . it's all on file assuming
you've not got better ways to spend your time!
The software performance spec for the
Quad-Function Module (AEC9024) is 99% done.
Paul is going to do the software for it
too. Board layouts are done. This one
isn't an open source project but programmed
chips, DIY kits and complete assemblies will
be available from our website.
Bob . . .

Dave's suggestion is a good one and there is a test procedure in the 430 ins
tall manual to determine if you are getting complete pin engagement from the
tray/panel assembly
Check the audio panel for the same issue. Next pull all the D subs and make s
ure all the pins are fully seated and don't push out when you try to press t
hem out.

Don't forget *all* the grounds, too. I tried to help a friend with a
similar issue several years ago; even spoke directly with a Garmin tech
& told him exactly which pins were hooked up. The tech told me we were
golden on all the wires. Radio worked when inserted in another a/c. He
finally took it to a radio shop. They took one look at the back of the
tray & said, "You're missing that ground right there." They installed
the ground, & everything worked. Sorry to say I don't know which ground
they added (there are several).

I have a little DC-DC converter(pc board & components) robbed out of a Cig adapter
that Im relocating into a plastic utility box. I need to pot it in position.
Is Shoe Goo a good choice here? IF not what is? The adhesive will need to contact
the "verks" and be non conductive or corrosive
Thanks in advance!
Tim

shoe-goo is a close cousin to E6000 which
is solvent based, water clear, and non
conductive. HOWEVER, it may attack your
plastic box.
Alternatively, RTV sealant used for
aquarium sealing is an option.
also, 5-minute epoxy won't attack the
plastics . . . but may not get a
really good grip on smooth, bright
surface of plastic box.

Thanks Bob.
Reading Matt's information page causes me to suspect that I might have
been removed automatically at some time past because a test email may
have failed to be delivered. I recall I did have a few dayssome years
back when my ISP was refusing to accept emails because I was away, had
let too many accumulate and so consumed all my mailbox allowance.
I'll need to spend some time in the archives but I think I'll also need
to be fairly selective. While theold traffic is safely stored there, I
don't really find Matt's search engine easy to use when it comes to
following an email thread. Unlike some other lists, hitting the "Next"
button gets you to the next post in chronological sequence, regardless
of the subject matter, ather than the next post on the same thread, like
some other engines will. That might be down to my unfamilarity though.
I ordered the CD overnight so that should get me up to date on your
current thinking.
Regards
Bill

| Subject: | Re: Heathrow 787 fire |
Only a few days ago the AAIB released this special report, which may be the source
of some of the news reports.
It seems that they do indeed hold the ELT as prime suspect. The aircraft was unpowered
at the time, and the AAIB notes that the ELT is the only item in the area
with enough stored energy to initiate combustion under these circumstances.
