    Got the VNA back up and running. Did some quick scans of a couple of BALUN configurations and got some amazing (or should I say consternating) results. At first blush it seems that conventional wisdom may have failed us. Need to repeat the experiments with more rigorous attention to process and calibration . . . watch this space. Got the elements fabricated for a Jim Wier ELT antenna. I'll be assembling those on a test fixture with opportunity to explore BALUN configurations . . . Bob . . .

    There is an advisory circular on GPS install. I forget the first two digits, after the dash its 138a, which for most purposes can be considered regulatory. While you could get away with most anything if you declare an emergency, I wouldn't make a habit of that. I don't believe the FAA has ever "approved" of using anything but a TSO GPS. I believe you also have to have a TSO approved ELT unless you meet the exceptions like single seat. On 7/20/2019 6:48 AM, GLEN MATEJCEK wrote: > That's an interesting evolution.

    Subject: ADS-B - Garmin GDL-82 installation
    From: "Argonaut36" <fmlibrino@msn.com>
    In my airplane there are at least 3 options for grounding the GDL-82: 1. Grounding to the avionics box that contains the electrical bus, the radio and the transponder. The box is attached with screws to lugs welded to the airplane tubular frame. Paint was removed where necessary to ensure good electrical continuity to the frame. 2. Grounding to a single screw on the firewall to which the radio, the transponder and the encoder are already grounded. 3. Grounding to a new screw on the firewall in the general area where the above mentioned ground screw is. What would be the recommended solution? Right now (before installing the GDL-82) there is some background noise in the radio, transmitting and receiving. I am concerned about the GDL-82 working properly and not making the radio worse. Thanks Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=490457#490457

    I grounded mine to the common forest of tabs on the firewall. All tested well on ground and in the NYC airspace. Good luck.
