| Subject: | Re: Radio or Television Tower Buzz |
Yep, interesting thread. I usually have the same issue while flying in the vicinity
of radio towers. At first, I was a little bit scared because of the noises,
but then I understood that it gives some kind of adrenaline.

| Subject: | Locking 3P switch? |
Please see attached diagram. I'm looking for a better solution than what
I'm showing now for the "test/kill" connection on the SDS CPI-2 ECU. I
believe it would be better if this was on the same switch as the power to
the ECU & coil, so that the "test/kill" connection would be grounded any
time the ECU & coil power supplies are switched off. Grounding this
connection causes the ECU to stop firing the coils/plugs.
When power is removed from the ECU & coil primary supply connections, the
ECU remains on & automatically switches to the backup power supply. The
manufacturer's intent is that this is supplied by a dedicated battery with
an unswitched supply rather than the Z101 engine bus, but that's not
relevant to the question at hand.
Can anyone suggest a locking 3 pole switch similar to the Honeywell NT
series, or another creative way to achieve this with more common switches?
Thanks,
David

| Subject: | MAC/Ray Allen trim actuator connections |
Greetings,
I'm in the process of installing an MAC/Ray Allen trim actuator, and am
wondering what the best way is to connect the five 26 gauge leads coming out
of the actuator to the corresponding 26 gauge five wire control cable that
will be routed up to the cockpit. The company used to offer a small, round
pin connector for that purpose, but not any more. Would like to be able to
disconnect the actuator rather than cut solder joints, if possible. Any
suggestions for a connector for fine wires like that appreciated.

Ditch the 26AWG 5wire extension and mate your
MAC actuator to a 22AWG 5-wire bundle of your
own making. Here's a suggested method that is
much easier to fabricate and decidedly more
robust as a finished installation:

Machined subD pins should work fine; if needed strip twice as much and
double the wire before inserting in the pin. If you want them 'orderly',
use a 9 pin housing; otherwise just use heat shrink over each mated pair.
Wish I could claim the idea.. ;-)

| Subject: | Garmin GTR 200 Help Needed |
I have a GTR 200 installed in a certificated airplane so Garmin tech support won't
help. I'm having an issue with the received volume on the initial response
to my transmission in that the volume is about 1/2 of normal, and it only is
in the left headset speaker. Either this has recently started or I haven't noticed
it before. The radio is stand alone, no audio panel is installed. Garmin
says take it to a dealer but there aren't any conveniently located. Any ideas?

I remember seeing this approach somewhere also, I want to say from Stein Bru
ch at Steinair. He simply used good quality pins and sockets and then mated
them and individually heat shrunk them as you describe. I think he may hav
e put a larger heat shrink sleeve over the entire bundle for an extra payer o
f protection and neatness. It looked like a neat and tidy solution. Certai
nly not as quick to disconnect as an actual connector, but then how often do
you remove the elevator or tail of your airplane?
I am considering this approach, but may also just use a 0.062 pitch mini mol
ex as they are fairly robust and small, but not weatherproof. A 5 pin Weath
erpack or Metripack is weatherproof, but much bulkier.

The technique is detailed on the Aeroelectric Connection site; I think
Bob has a 'comic book' detailing it. But the technique is pretty much
everywhere in the wild now.

For those tiny wires I like to use crimp-type D-sub pins and sockets.
Stagger the joints and heat-shrink each one, then heat-shrink all five.
They don't need to be in a housing. It makes a fairly small and manageable
bulge. I think Bob has a write-up on this technique.
