Thanks to all that responded to this comm problem.
Thanks to Matt for having this List for our use.
A special Thank you to Jeff Kraudelt. He nailed the problem.
The "transmit interlock" connection was NOT wired when the av shop installed my
Garmin 430!
It is pin 14 of connector P2 of the Garmin. The other end goes to the KX-155 pin
that carries the PTT connection.
Because of the very high receiver sensitivity of the 430, Garmin included a circuit
that would pull down its receiver sensitivity when another transmitter, such
as the KX-155 PTT switch was pressed for TX'g.
I understand that modern audio panels, such as Garmins, handle that control automatically
now, but, the KMA-20 audio panel was not designed for that level of
control.
I was interesting in how I determined if my pin 14 had a connection. The idea
of getting behind the panel to trace the lead was about as appealing as driving
spikes in my forehead. Instead, I pulled the 430 from it's tray and with a
good light and stronger reading glasses, I could "see" all the connector pins
that were used in P2 as well as determine which pins were not used visually, even
though all the wiring was hidden on the other side. The pins used and located
or not located in the P2 sockets were plainly discernable.

Greetings Fellow Aviators,
The Lower Slobovia Outernational Garden Club would like to extend to You
and Yours a cordial invitation to our next effort to cultivate more
frequent pilotage, higher flour bombing accuracy, and an increased
consumption of non plant food matter.
We will be serving lunch to you on Saturday, June 5, 2004.
I'll make available sheet metal tools & aluminum for anyone wanting
their 1st exposure to metal work. For those interested in alternative
engines, I'll try ot hav a Mazda rotary opened up for inspection.
Formation flight teams are invited to attend & demonstrate their skills.
(Mike Stewart, are you listening?) Plaques will be awarde for flour
bombing, longest distance flown, & other categories & as determined by
our totally biased judges.
Anyone wishing to arrive on Friday and/or stay until Sunday is welcome
to do so. Just throw a bedrool in your plane/car & we will find yo a
place to sleep that's out of the heat. There are lots of spare bedrooms,
hangar apartments, floor space, etc. available with the sponsoring
families. We will do continental breakfast stuff in the morning & poll
the participants for evening meal decisions. Some of our pilots actually
consider themselves multitalented & encourage you to bring your musical
instrument of choice for some homegrown music in the evening.
