I have not yet been able to round up a plain headset to try. My troubleshooting is a little slow at the moment because I'm only getting to the airplane once a week. If there is a floating ground somewhere in the audio system, are there any hints about where I might try looking for it? I have another alternator to try, and hope to have time to do that on Friday.

I fired up the engine a couple of weeks ago or so and did not see any output from the new B&C alternator. When I debugged it, I found a blown fuse on the field wire. This morning, I ran the engine and the alternator worked like a champ, pumping out about 15 amps. Thanks for the advice. -- Art Z. -- https://CheerfulCurmudgeon.com/ *"We do not see the world as it is.

If you're using a B&C regulator or one of the several crowbar ov protection modules, upstream power for the field should be on a PANEL MOUNTED BREAKER . . . not a fuse.

Is the indent crimp preferred of a hex crimp?

I discovered that a month ago, after I hooked everything up according to Z-13 and *then* actually read the installation instructions for the B&C voltage regulator. Installing the breaker is high on my to-do list. =8BThanks for the eagle-eye. -- Art Z.=8B -- https://CheerfulCurmudgeon.com/ *"We do not see the world as it is.
