Dear Listers, There are just a couple days left for this year's List Fund Raiser. Over all, participation has been good, but things have been pretty slow this week for some reason. If you've been putting off making your Contribution until the last minute, this is it! The last minute, that is... :-) Please remember that there isn't any sort of commercial advertising on the Lists and the *only* means of keeping these Lists running is through your Contributions during this Fund Raiser.

Becuase when some moron crashes flying beyond his capabilities below minimums, and his wife comes to sue our shop, I need to assure that I have done my job 100%.... The only time I ever deviate from what the installation manual says is when I have information from Walt Williams or George Koelch or one of the other garmin tech guys, AND when I install it PER THE MANUAL and for some reason it doesnt work right for a certain application in a certain airplane, then and only then do I modify what the install manual says and I attach info that I recieve to my work order and It lives on forever in my files at our repair station. I dont understand the mentality of "how cheap can I be" by using the wrong coax or coax is too short... Is it reall that hard to install it per what the manufacturer says in their publications? 99.99% of the time it works... so why are we questioning what they are saying? ----- Original Message ----- From: teamgrumman@aol.com To: avionics-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 1:37 AM Subject: Re: Avionics-List: GPS Antenna Length Quote "THERE IS A LOT MORE THAT THE MANUAL STATES, BUT MY TYPING IS SORT OF LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY AND MY INDEX FINGERS ARE GETTING TIRED.

Question: When you say, "The bottom line is that this is how I have installed dozens of WAAS upgrades since Garmin came out with the upgrades and this is how we have done them all." ------ so, to what method do you refer?
