Wife gave me an assortment of different size sewing machine needles (much better to not stab yourself with) and I also raided my collection of jewelers screwdrivers. Now, if I could only see the back of the connector to tell which wire is which Bob & Ken, thank you very much for the tips. -------- Jerry King Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=412132#412132 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:53:49 AM PST US From: Bob McCallum Subject: RE: AeroElectric-List: Re: Trusting a chargers reputation, what an idiot! 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!

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. > Also, I dont have a spare Bendix/King card > edge connector body to give me the slot width, > but I could probably guesstimate that. 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 Vhttp://tinyurl.com/nknv4bk I believe these numbers were suited to the various versions of this pin retention methodology . . . but that was some time ago. >Yes, I may have to resort to the sewing needle >approach, but I dont know if these old eyes >will be able to keep the needle centered in the >slot.

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.

TIA -Jeff ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:08:57 PM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: Copper Foil width for VOR antenna From: "p32gxy" 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...

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.
