of jewelers screwdrivers. Now, if I could only see the back of the connector

But are you measuring the voltage at the EFIS using the same voltmeter with
which you measured battery voltage? If you're simply depending on the EFIS
reading then it could simply be the difference in calibration between the
two instruments.

I run a wire direct from the Bat bus to the EFIS CB (2 amp) then via a swit
ch to the EFIS. Sooooo=2C thinking out loud=2C it can only be the CB or the
switch causing the voltage drop? My master switch is one of those manual t
ypes recently discussed on the list. All parts brand new=2C but worth check
ing! I imagine a .5v volt drop across the master could turn exiting once th
e starter starts pulling 200 amps!=0A

Subtracting 12.9 from 13.4 equals 0.5 volts which is the voltage drop acros

hen the E-Bus alternate feed path (if installed) is turned on?

Did the Aeroelectric list address change? Suddenly many of my messages from the
list are going to junk mail and are not being put into the proper folder.
The new address seems to be:
owner-aeroelectric-list-server@xenia.matronics.com
what has occurred here? Did I miss something?

There is possibility of 'flattening' the
clip even when the 'right tool' is used.
I always tweak the clip to increase it's
grip before re-inserting a used terminal
back into the housing.

I don't think I've ever actually measured one.
The last two that I made were fabricated from
flat spring stock cabbaged from a pocket tape
measure. I used a cutoff wheel in a Dremel to
sculpt the material.
Many moons ago I published this offering

I believe these numbers were suited to
the various versions of this pin retention
methodology . . . but that was some time ago.

Get your own needles. In fact, I think
sewing machine needles are about the right
thickness and they offer a 'handle' of sorts
on the machine end. Again, a little sculpting
with a Dremel would tailor them to the task.

Does anyone have a picture showing a row of W58 series (reset-only) circuit
breakers w/ .250 quick connect terminals and how the feed side was bussed?
I can see using several quick connect terminals jumpered together but i'm
curious about other more elegant solutions.

| Subject: | Re: Copper Foil width for VOR antenna |
So ... the first thing I did was to establish a baseline... this would be the Vee
Dipole VOR antenna. With the folded balun. The antenna was tuned for best VSWR
in the VOR band... the attached pic shows what was accomplished... it is essentially
below 1:2... considering all the iron-mongery around the antenna...
good enough :-).
A more accurate tuning would be completed after the copper foil is glassed in...
that way the dielectric of the glass would also be compensated for.
The loop antennas to be experimented have to beat this to be worthy of consideration
for install... stay tuned... for the loop antennas...

It seems that the ISP that hosts Matt's Internet portal
did something dumb with their domain name servers. My
access to any features on matronics have been sketchy
at best. Matt's not getting very good answers from
the so-called 'service reps' . . .
I think we're in good hands . . . Matt's trying
to chase the rats out of the woodpile.

Keystone electronics makes a .250 wide
faston socket for use on etched circuit
boards. A bus-board could be fabricated
to accept a row of these clips spaced at
what ever matches your breaker layout.
Emacs!
This would make a very low parts count
bus-bar for fast-on tabbed breakers.
